My lavender hen

My black orp hen

Hi guys I was wondering how many generations can I do line breeding before bringing in new blood? Francois

Pencillling is the black and brown stripes on the wing feathers on your chick, the whole hen will be covered in pencilling when she's mature!males will have a solid black breast, Lemon yellow hackles excetra!

Hi yes that's right males tend to have a darker down color, also check the wing feathers also indicates it's a girl, she is already showing the pencelling only found on girl partrigde chickens!

Both are girls, partrigde boys have different down colour!

After treatment for the Cocci, add some apple cider vinegar to there water , it keeps the Cocci parasite at bay and is a great health tonic to your chickens! Hope your chickens gets better soon!
