If I wanted a project.

If I was going to work on a breeding project, I think it would be interesting to infuse some leghorn into my Easter egger bantams. Improve the laying a little more, they wouldn't be much bigger and hopefully cut down on the number of hens wanting to hatch. I think I would get super duper laying bantams, I would just need to not lose the colours and not make them nervous. They are weary and don't trust when I do something different but unlike nervous birds they are under foot when I stick to a routine.
Funny how good an animal can be if we don't interfere too much. By day three these babies have little wings, by two weeks they can fly, another week or so and they like to perch. My pure breed chicks were almost helpless until week four or five.
