It's me FireTiger, I've been away since ... um... was my kid born? two servers ago?
I'm in Jax, participated in Hens for Jax

I have ducks and chickens, 30 total- I have 3*5*3 (laying area) attached to 8*16*8 (covered area) attached to 12*16*8 (run area)

My 9 year old hen- Production Red. - yes the same one that got stolen then returned. She's is in my poultry album many times to see her w/o Forco and with... (she survived, she wasn't out that day- and one of the ducks survived)
When I breed my silkie to a production Red (ghost) she is only broody once a year and lays PR style eggs but smaller.
When I breed my Silkie to a GLW (GLW is only seasonally broody) the three that were females all go broody regularly, and when they lay (nearly never) the eggs were GLW style but...
