Dottie the Chicken
Lover of Jesus, cows, and chickens
Good afternoon!
I've got the idea in my head to get into chicken breeding. I would like to build a coop for the rooster, with a run attached, and put the ladies I want chicks from in with him. I have some Easter Eggers, and would like to take a go at making olive eggers. I sell eggs, so would be looking for a breed of rooster that throws good egg laying ladies if possible. If you have any breed suggestions, genetic info, breeding info, or any random tips on this topic to share, please do!
Thank you!!
P.S. I also have other breeds of hens that I may put with him as well. Do mutts lay well?
