[burchettfrmgrl]

Hi I just bought a flock of 14 consists of a big red rooster and a small rooster 2 small hens I believe they are the star hybrid or something then we have a very fluffy bluish grey we call big momma that lays really good and a medium hen that is black w white top not and everyone loves her!!! We have had these guys for about a month and have since added to it w red star and white Leghorn hens and 2 ducklings. I want to learn more about their breeds but also I have been collecting eggs all week to incubate.

Ok thx solo much!! I plan on getting pics of them soon. Can't wait to see what kinda crosses these babies will be. Already made sure Mr Hugh Hefner is doing his job 3/3 eggs I checked were fertile.

I guess Hugh is a keeper

I have a small rooster dunni breeds yet but we call him mini me. He may have assisted old Hugh a little. I've caught him on a couple of the red hens.
