I have 2 blue pullets that are laying very sporadically and smaller eggs than the barred rock girls, which is one reason Im wanting to breed the laying son of a guns barred hens to the blue roo, to get some of those good laying genes back. I will have the occassional egg from the blue pullet, About the only way that I will know which is hers, is if one blue, black, or splash non-barred roo shows up, Ill know its hers. I have 2 gorgeous splash pullets in with Mr. B, but he doesnt show any interest in them. Im wondering if, even tho they are 6 months old, that they arent laying yet, which is why he's not breeding them.
