I thought they were dual.. .but I have been reading so much in the midst of finishing my statistics class, moving and working full time I could have read that wrong...
doesnt matter as hubby wants wyandottes... and well.. sometimes its not worth fussing over... so i will love what ever we get... and if we dont we will get somethig else!!
I dont want silkies etc because I dont want to get attached... so really the less I have to do with picking them the better ( less 'invested" in it)
Silkies are sooo pretty! i wouldnt want to eat them...
my immediate question was I think I read that when a hen gets broody and you want her to do that, you should seperate her so the others dont stop laying as well... how do you do that? I mean do you have to take her clean away ( other side of the barn? property?) or can you just wall her off in her own box?
Since we are building this we want to incorperate something that one can brood and not disturb the others - or if we have to build something smaller for those times...
what do you all do?
