We're in the process of doing the same thing here. We bought breeder stock of Marans and Ameraucanas, and we've had a self sustaining free range flock for almost 15 years. We converted our dog's kennel into a new coop, and have plans for 2 more all built out of our barn with outdoor runs. We are...

Yep, I know, it would just help with immediate flock management numbers, knowing what I hatch when i hatch them. Yes, the BR's would be for green of course, and I'm hoping that the production blacks won't dilute the blue too much so that I can use them to make more productive blue egg laying hybrids

Does anyone have these birds? I am planning crosses with my BBS ameraucanas for green egg production and have settled on barred rocks for green eggs, I am hoping to improve blue egg prodcution with some of these production blacks, since i'll be able to sex link the baby lik the BR's. I'm mainly...
