Moonshiner that’s exactly what I am being told and I don’t buy it either. My gut told me what you said, which is to avoid and keep searching.
I have a good background in genetics in general but am just learning the genes/dominance/expression patterns for chickens. Thus, Once we decided that we...
Good day all.
I have a question about breeding for the lavender color. We have a trio of beautiful lavender/self-blue Ameraucanas. We were not planning to breed them, but have fallen in love with their coloring and dispositions and a secondary project my daughter wanted to do for Olive Eggers...
Hi all - I posted a month ago with four EEs and was told to wait as it was too hard to tell Gender. Well here are the two we think are boys. What does everyone think?
Thank you again!
Potential Roo #1
Potential Roo #2
One is actually a bit bigger than the other. Our other two are...
Thank you for the tip on cross beak. We just noticed it in the last few days. I read up on it and it looks like you clip the top a bit at a time like a dog/сat claw. Will try to give it a go...
Hi again - more chicks from our recent hatching. These are all BLRW (I think, basing on the rose comb)
Chick #1 - Love the color on this one but I think it's a boy as the comb is pink already.
Chick #2 - This guy/gal has a wonky beak. Not sure what happened.
Chick #3 -...
Thanks to everyone for your responses. We will hold on to everyone for now and see how they look in a couple of weeks. The orange on their wings is what made me post as I read in one of the threads this is a common sign for males so I appreciate the confirmation.

Chick # 1 - Hen? Thinking mainly on her stature.
Chick # 2 - Roo? Standing taller
Chick #3 - Has some orange
Chick #4 Also some...
Thank you both for such quick responses!
10-4 on the Wyandotte. I had forgotten about the combs. That will make it much easier.
General forum etiquette question - as I pick others out I want to query, should I continue in thi thread or make a new one?
Thanks again!
Hi folks! We hatched 22 chicks 3 weeks ago and have lost track a bit in the reeds, particularly between Barnevelders and Blue Laced Red Wyandottes as they looked quite similar as hatchlings. At least to us newbies. :)
We are trying to discern what we have and see if we can tell gender on a few...
