you know what they say about counting your chickens before they hatch

(or in this case, before they clear quarantine)
if I was importing anything I wouldn't tell anyone until birds were in hand...

I wondered if anyone could help me, will i get all pure whites from white on white? stupid dumbass question i know, never kept whites before though. Thank you

Quote:
Yes! If your whites are from breeding pure white orpington, your chicks will be pure white orpington. You have to keep them in a breeding pen that just have those in there. When you turn everyone loose in a pen with other breeds or colors they will be mixed. You have to keep your breeds separated to keep them pure.
