This is less a question of breed and more a question of color. These two are part of a project I'm working on so if anyone can identify color, I'd appreciate it! Lineage as follows... Great grandparents: (unknown sire line), pure silkie dam line Grandparents: standard blue splash cochin cock...

Thanks! Wasn't sure if there was any color pattern I could call this by other than "the sorta grey-black one with the little spots" lol :)

Hi guys! I thought I'd leave a few update pictures of the chicken in the subject. Can anyone actually identify what this color is?? She's not like my silver DW hen who is dark grey on her back, with a light head and brown breast. She is light grey with a dark head and fawn breast with white...

Great idea! I think I have one of those packets lying around. Also, an update: I just checked on him and the gummy part is dry and black now. He did open one tiny spot at some point but it never bled very much and is also dry. Thanks for the reassuring words guys :)

I came home today to find my young (8 mo?) Rooster with a heavily injured comb. It was shredded and dangling so I opted to shear the rest off to hopefully make treating a little easier. After trimming with sterilized scissors, I used copious amounts of stop bleed powder--which mostly helped but...

The rooster is 50% barred and about 25-50% silver duckwing. The silver duckwing that was his father appeared to have some gold--not sure how much, but definitely not a pure silver. So a crele will have a spot like regular barred? Got it, thanks! I'm really curious to see how it turns out!

It's a blurry picture but here is the same chick almost 3 weeks later. Drastic color changes!

I ended up with 2 hens and 4 roos :/ luckily, I knew someone with 2 hens and was up to trading one of her hens for one of my boys. Now I have and even three and three. Very pretty birds now!

Here they are now :) he has very brilliant blue, green, and purple plumage and she is a lovely grey with a tan head :)

I have one surviving member of the newest brood my chook hatched. Dam: BB red oegb Sire: barred oegb (silver diluted) There were four offspring: one was very red, one was golden, one was barred, and then there's this one..... It's got the wild type color pattern but it had a black collar. Now...

Hoping someone can put an end to my confusion! My Silver Duckwing male red to my BB Red female and resulted in a wide variety of babies. I can identify most of their colors (most are silver with red dilutes) but one in particular strikes me as slightly odd. ^^^ This here is my buddy...

Thanks again. I'll be watching him closely to see if he changes at all...

Thanks so much! It totally slipped my mind that he had an accident earlier this week. He got stuck in the spring of our barn door and had apparently hung there for about two minutes. Could he be suffering some side effects from that??

Help! This is my d'uccle rooster. Lately he's been slightly less social than usual and his comb seems to have darkened. The comb also feels cold at the ends but it's the middle of June. Is it avian flu?? What do I do???!!

I know this is an old post but this might help for future references... Girls will have black "eyeliner" and solid striping on their heads and backs whereas boys will have brown-to-no "eyeliner" and lighter striping. Boys may also have broken striping on top of their heads. The picture I posted...
