My Cornish X are laying!! I have a rooster (Salmon Favorolle) that is freakishly quiet, so I've put some of their eggs in the bator. If these hatch they are going to be the weirdest looking chickens, ever. What is the best way to be able to tell the Cornish X eggs from the other eggs of the same color? I tried to put food coloring in their vent (I read that on here somewhere) didn't work.

Put the coloring on the top of there heads when they are dried out a bit. This is how my Delawares came to me.

Sally, have a question for yea. I have the walls up on the hen house. Next step is to put in the external nesting boxes. Do your Big Brahmas use the standard size nesting boxes?? I was thinking of making them 16x 15". Is that going to be big enough for the Brahmas?

what is standard? they like small dark places like the rest. DH put these from walmart in it... ps I cant get the stickers off, and they are rubber like material.

adding that they didn't have the tops so we just screwed them to the wall, that's why we got them for 2 bucks a pc lol
