» ChickyGirl - Baby Chick Breed Identification - HELP please !

We just purchased an assortment of rare breed chicks and would like to find out what the specific type of each one. Is there a resource available that will help us to identify the breeds we have acquired?

» suzijane - egg production in older chickens

I have 30 chickens of which 2 are roosters. They are truly free-range chickens as they cover my 2 acres and 2 of the neighbors. most of them are 2 years old this February. at what age should I cull out the older ones for maximum egg production. I have had 2 hatchings as nature intended, is there ever a problem with them breeding with their fathers? one batch I got from the feed store and placed under a hen that was setting, she never knew the difference.
