Thank you. I spent a day building an area for them to nest....they would have none of it so I bought one of these and they used it immediately.

Then Tina went broody and we had this issue...



So I bought another which is the one I put the eggs in....I'm hoping she stays on them and doesn't switch back midstream.

Lol, I wish I could get my hands on some of those. They'd be easy to clean and I'm guessing they would almost eliminate the threat of lice.

FCL, here's an Amazon link. They are nice tho kinda expensive for what they are. They just lift up and off the wall for cleaning.

TAH, I'll give it a go.

I don't know how many you need but they stack inside each other because there is no back on them. Your wall is the back.

So it will be interesting on how much shipping is......

I read this form all the time and seldom post, but I have made an observatio on hatching BLRW SLW PW and also have Blue Wy from Nittanny and for the past 2 years with all types in a Blue has always been the first to hatch then silvers and BLRW last. Just wondering if anyone else has noticed this?

I may have to see about importing some in a few years   I better start saving up now!
Till then I'm going to try and work on developing some, although I have almost no idea where to start, and how to do it. To add to that, I have a very difficult time understanding color genetics, but what the heck why not give it a go!

If you don't understand color genetics that might not be the best idea :/. Project birds require a destination and a plan on how to get there. You can only work with what you have to work with but you won't accomplish a new color variety without that knowledge.

exactly. I missed the original post, but no matter what variety you want to work with, research it thoroughly, figure out all the mutations behind that color variety, then, depending on the complexity of the pattern you're wanting, it may take anywhere from 2-5 generations or more to fix the color, then you have to get the type perfected for the breed.
