Good afternoon, I want to start a project color. wondering what I will get if I Put a Lavender Rooster over Silver DL Barnvelder hens. Lavender dilutes colors so should the black lacing go to lavender? And white stay white! Then F2 generation taking babies and cross back to SIlver DL...

ok, so I am doing a meat mix. Barred Rock rooster over Light Brahma hens, Buff Brahma hens, and blue Cochin hen. I know they will be barred. And normal black and white, except maybe the Buff Brahma hens.......they might throw chicks with Buff leakage in feathers, right? Very likely? Thanks

Are Welsummers considered Barred? Would Chicks from this cross be sex linked. Would it be easy to tell, if they are. Thanks

will they be auto sexing if this cross? I have a meat cross post lower in this forum asking about rosters over. Now I am thinking maybe putting 1 Australorps Rooster and 1 Brahma Rooster over my Barred hens. Both should be autosexing, right? And both I should be able to tell which if the...

So experimenting with new meat mix this year. Want meat bird with good breast meat, faster growing and still decent egg production if keeping female back, but yet females still goodmeat too butcher. Of course not look for pushed Cornish weights of meat. Anyway last year I crossed my Barred...

So getting ready to put my meat mix pen together. In the one pen I am going to put Brahma Rooster over Barred Rock Hens. This should produce sex link. But what are the colours or marking of the chicks if I put a Buff Brahma Rooster over or If I put a Light Brahma Rooster over? Also the...

Hi, What will I get if I cross Chocolate Orpington Hens with::: Either Silver Laced Wyandotte Rooster Or Gold Laced Rooster Or Blue Laced a Rooster Or Splash Laced. Would all chicks for sure be laced? What colours? Sex linked chicks? Thanks in advanced..

I see such wonderful brooding pens for small numbers. But what if you hatch about 200+ a week. Let's see your pens. And what do you do when next batch comes the next week. Thanks

I had a thread going and such super help but was left guessing in the end as two different responses! I have listed to sell day old chicks so need to know I will. E giving them the right chick! I really am hoping the crossing will produce solid chicks of blue and black with no lacing for 1st...

Just wondering what color chicks I will get from black roo over White silkie. And black roo over buff silkie? The white should take over , right with maybe some splash black feathers? With the buff just might be a real mix almost partridge type?

I am buying hatching eggs from a lady and just wondering what you get for colors when white Ameracuanas are in BBS pen? I understand blues but adding a white I don't know? Will I get whites? Would love some whites!

Does this really work and why does it? How much do you use and I am guessing it it in their water! Ration water to cayenne? Maybe heard black pepper too, maybe this does not work as good?

Okay so to get f1 olive Eggers we breed copper Maran to Ameracuana hens. You then take those f1 chicks(who lay deep olive eggs)and breed them back to a copper Maran again for even darker olive! This gets you f2 chicks. (Basically 3/4 Maran) Has anyone taken these f2 chicks and breed to...

Okay I asked a bit ago what I would get if I put a BLRW Roo over White Wyandotte hens........and was told blue Wyandotte chicks! Which I want! But now I have blue chicks! What happens if I cross them? Also what if I put a splash laced Roo over those white hens? And what of their chicks if...

Title says it all. I ended up with 1 red cuckoo hen and no Roos and paid a lot for a few eggs, so just trying to still use her to get something back from her! I do have a molted Orpington Roo too but only one so I could not tell my molted Orpington eggs from my red cuckoo eggs, so would rather...

Okay just want to make sure. I asked in speraduc questions in other post put want to put in all here and see if I can tell others. So I know if I put a barred rock over any the hens that they will all take on his coloring so will not be able to tell based on color. But if I do BR over...

Okay Is it true if you breed two BLRWs then you will not get all BLRWyandotes or splash Wyandottes. You will actually get 25% Black Laced Red as Well? If that is the case are they really GLWs then as would they not look the same? And as chicks could you tell which would be black laced?

Okay so last year my sportsmen were ready right temp and humidity but had major problem with hatches. Stuck just a low grade temp and humidity ready I there from our house and it was way high. What ones do you use to confirm your temps and humidity that is accurate. Do you have multiple...
