Okay, Little Brown, my cochin hen is laying an egg about every day and a half to 2 days. Yesterday while I was working out in the yard on the greenhouse, I saw both of my roosters (a phoenix that happens to be my mortal enemy and a Black Breasted American Game Bantam) having their way with her...if you know what I mean.
I got to thinking. If she's being bred, then we could have ourselves some babies. It would be a great experience for my 7 year old daughter.
So how does it work. If she's laying an egg every 2 days, and I incubate the eggs, will they hatch in the sequence they were laid...every two days?
Also, will the phoenix and the cochin crossbreed? I also have an Easter Egger Hen. Will the phoenix be servicing her too? I guess there will be mutts, just as you have with canines?
As you can see....I need help.
