ok...this is big..for me
when it is time...
how on earth do you determine which chicken is laying which egg? i have perchanced upon the odd chicken coming out of the nesting box all in a cackle..but other than that?
i have 15 marans hens; need to know who is laying the darkest eggs...then i have to switch out the darkest layers amungst my 4 marans roosters...to try and figure out which is the darkest laying rooster gene?
this could take years!!
is this what you-all do?
by the way...i am loving these Marans They are so very friendly, and docile.. roosters just stand there as you brush their feathers...amazing
