Hello fellow Tennesseeans!
I have a flock that is all mixed up while their perminant coop is being built. There are standards, bantams, dark egg layers, white egg layers, feather legged, and clean legged... and all inbetween. They just started laying today (8 eggs all at once!). I'm wondering, anyone interested in some crazy mix up breeds? I'm very tempted to try to hatch them because once their coops are done... they will be seperated forever with their own breeds. I don't know though... I may just be having a relapse of hatchoholicism. HELP!!!
The breeds in the pen are (and some of the standards are very successfully mating with the bantams):
(standards)
Blue Andalusians
French Wheaten Marans
Black Sex Link
Black Jersey Giant
New Hampshires
Easter Eggers (no blue or green eggs yet)
One Delaware roo
Silver Laced Wyandottes
One Barnevelder Roo
(bantams)
Red Cochins
Silver Laced Cochin
Delawares (bantams!)
Buff Sebrights
Silver Sebrights
White Silkies
Crele OEG
Black Tailed Buff Japanese
So, as you can see... there is NO TELLING what will hatch! Someone either hatch these for me or talk me out of it.
