The 6th Annual BYC Easter Hatch-a-long!

[nate1the1great1]

If my roosters are ready in time, who should o cross them with? The roosters are seemingly black stars.

I will only name a few breeds, as I have many different breeds in my flock lol. I have several gold/brown production breeds, wc Polish, EE bantam, Sumatra, Welsummer, Cochin... And a few others that arent located in my layer flock.

What crosses would you all want to see if my roosters are old enough and fertilize the eggs?

Heres one of the roosters (cockerel), Dixon. You can see his future hens behind him . Dixon is the oldest rooster at 10 weeks, he was a week or two younger in this picture though.

I dont think it will be ready they normally will start around 20-30 weeks sorry

Things are looking good. It's looking like I'll be sticking around! It also looks like there'll be marans eggs in my future!

I can honestly say I have never actually seen one in person, so I'm excited! I may not get to keep any of them, but I'm still trying for some black and blue.
