One of my breeding projects has been successful ! I wanted to try to breed "ornamental" hens that laid a pretty blue or green small egg.and looked pretty itself but was a usable size..They are japanese bantram x so dont dig up gardens ,I use them as pest control ,they dont like wandering.So anyone could keep a few and not have to buy shop eggs with all the cruelty that goes with that and they can replace pesticides etc,Just need them to breed true now :)
