Spring Time


These chicks are my second generation experimentals. The parents are from Aracauna hens and a blue cochen rooster. The hen showed is a first generation, half and half. I raise only the pretty colored eggs and hope to bdeep in the feathered feet and blue color from dad, and fluffy cheeks as well as blue eggs from mom.
A good site is http://www.citychickens.com/ I am not sure I agree with a few things…how to handle a broody hen, find her some eggs that need hatching. They do not have to be her own. I am still looking for, “how long after hatching will a hen start laying again?”
