Uncooperative hens or a color preference by the rooster?

[chickenmomma16]

I do find it interesting that chickens show color preference in the flock. I've seen it happen too often for it to be coincidence. Sounds like you have a roo who is taking his responsibility seriously now! Good luck with your next trial. If you have not yet read all of "hatching eggs 101" in the learning center, I urge you to do so. I go back and review every spring before plugging the bator in. Interestingly my avatar EE roo does not care for barred birds. But, he's gonna have to get over that issue, cause I have 6 new barred pullets for him. And with my spring hatch, I think every brown egg set was not fertile, while I got 95% hatch and viable chicks from my green/aqua/blue/olive eggs!

Hey, I know most guys have a "type" of woman they are attracted to so why can't our roosters??? We just have to take away their choices I guess.
