Interesting...
I think white legs fowl can throw blue legs if they are paired with a blue leg or slate leg (from black fowl)... but dont quote me on that. I am not expert

I crossed the Chocolate Grey (blue legs) with my Radio hens (pearl) and 100% of the stags came out pearl legged and 100% of the pullets came out blue legged

that's why you breed your good roosters sister and not him. She will have influence on the stags not he

I have a hen that is in full molt. She stopped laying when she initially started molting, but then came right back into production. She is the same one that sat laid a nest of 16 eggs this spring. Anyone ever seen a hen lay through a full molt? She looks horrible!

Most of mine start molting right after hatching so they molt out while raising the chicks.
I shipped a guy a pullet that was laying. Not long after she molted her first year. That's not unheard of but that's the first one I've had.

Are yours hatching chicks late spring/early summer. With the mild winters the last two years, I have let them set as early as they wanted, so the chicks are hatching in March. They then want to do another nest, but I do not need the chicks.

I have a few hens that don't even try to set until early summer. Most late spring though. I don't need the chicks either. Believe me

I have two pullet that are sitting in the same nest. I Watched them go toe to toe every day for like a week then finally they are sitting side by side. One gets up and the other gets on the eggs. Never seen that before either. They are hatching today I saw one chick this morning.

Probably come home to a mess but I was curious to see just what they would do.
They were loose and started setting in a pen that I left the door open for my older chicks to go to bed at night.
So in this one pen I had a bunch of older chicks on the roost and two pullets sitting on eggs underneath and behind them. What a sh*tshow. Lol
