[QUOTE="cow pollinater, post: 1565045, member: 14661"] I like dark hens. It seems like I have less predator problems with them. My guess is that the coyotes think they're crows. If you cross a splash orphington rooster or a splash maran over australorp hens you get a nice blue chicken every time. I've only done the maran cross once but I do the orphington cross every couple of years and they're nice quiet birds that lay well. I have three orphington roosters now with a dozen hens and they don't even fight each other. [/QUOTE]
