I need advice as I have no idea where to go from here!
Ok, I have three hens and one rooster. To keep it simple we'll call the hens A, B and C.
A and B of the hens are sisters and the C hen unrelated.
The rooster is supposed to be kin to the C hen but I don't know how closely.
I have them all together and have hatched about 30 chicks from them this season.
I have no idea which hens they are from.
How can I (or can I at all) keep this line going without bringing in new blood?
Am I eventually going to have to keep two seperate pens of chickens to keep breeding them?
Are all of these chicks of no use at this point - I have no idea what I am doing!
Thanks for any and all advice and help!!
