Okay so we all have those individual hens that love eating their unborn babies. You look online and all you see is this fake egg idea that might work, i say this because it has never worked for neither me nor any of my chicken buddies. Another option is just wait and listen for the "egg call"...
It might have just been i got a bad bunch twice, but all the roos i have ever got of this breed are mean. And I mean like attack a kid i was babysitting mean and for no reason.
look, it has never hurt my chickens ever. I know it sounds cruel but i never have noticed it affected them at all. Go buy some sevin dust, mix half to a whole bottle to 5 to 10 gallons of water and bathe them in it. Generations have been doing this and it has cured all mite problems i have...
Honestly thats probably the best thing to. That is what i do and sometimes when i need straw then and there, i use pine straw bc its free and it works great because it naturally stay together and my birds love it.
well you would have a weird comb, probably a big comb that looks out of place (this happened when two of my bantams bred on accident) and then a redish brown with a white and on top of that a top hat with a non top hat... i personally think it would be ugly and if you ever wanna sell it, it will...
I have had some for two years now and i love them so much. They have never stopped laying and they are awesome mothers. and if they get loose, its easy to chorale them back. I have had much success in hatching them.
