Hello there,
let me share my results of my project.
Two years ago I was able to find all the information I need to start this mixing as I found what ducks i need for this project. I needed to be sure about how the colours works as I knew that the results are visible only in like two years...
I thought so, as I had two other speckled with roo's last year but as they were with other hens I was not able to tell which egg is from which hen, but none of the babies were speckled.
But I got the plan for them anyway, hopefully she won't be broody all year long and will be able to produce...
Hello all, I've been searching for some time now about the white dots on of my most valued girls over the web to find out the info how the white spots are working. She should be a blue swedish flower, I've found it's called also a speckled feathers, also found some topics about crosses and the...
The Black Gene is strong dominant gene. I've got one black female she was a pekin x rouen cross (so only one E gene from the pekin). To know if your black has one or two genes, you can try just on having him breed with females and you will see the ducklings. If all of the babies are black or...
We need to trim feathers on their wings just the feathers not the wing itself to prevent the flight. Some of our chickens are lighter and vital and they were able to to land off in their are and flight over the fence that is 180cm high, or fly over to the neighbour's garden so to prevent this we...
Yes, our white is dominant, it comes from meaty white bird that are used on farms for quick meat production (this chickens are actually granddaughters of the original breed)
I'm curious about the black color, i've not found that there could be different black gene that modifies the feather...
Have you looked at the ayum cemani website? There is an article there that explains the gene that causes black skin and bones. My understanding is that a pure ayum can have one copy of the x gene or two. They suggest breeding your roo to other non ayum hens and and your hens to a regular room if...
hello, as per your pictures, your offspring is nearly the same as ours. We had AC roo with different hens including brown. Two young females are black skinned with white feathers and remaining 10 are pure black. Young males are white, barred or even pure black.
4 pure black roo are messing up...
hello again, got some colorful update of our drakes
two are rouen with dark green head, but one has grey beak and other one has yellow, same with the blue rouen drakes, one has grey and the other one has yellow. So far 4 drakes in mature colour but not two are exactly the same.
only one drake...
just want to add some pics from our ducks. the drakes are not yet in their mature colour, they are changing now.
blue mallard drake M+md Li+lih e+e+ Blbl+ C+C+ B+B+ r+r+ D+d Bu+bu
only one Blue is visible nothing else, everything else is covered by the dominant original genes. but the drake...
thanks to this topic i was able to closely understand several things, but there are still questions and i'm not sure how some colours will result.
so far i've put together orpington drake with harlequin female (from at least what i was able to identify, but i believe she carries something more...
both dusky mdmd Li+Li+ and snowy M+M+ lihlih are recessive genes so breeding with black female where black is dominant will give you black ducklings regardless of the dusky or snowy drake both drake's recessive genes won't be probably supported by the black female, you are not able to see if...
update of our AC chicks, black with white feathers, we have 2 of 'em they looks like females.
white feathered black female same as first pic. barred roo, as you may see the legs and the comb are bit darker, it looks like dirty. and pure black female.
white roo standing alone comb is red but...
we will wait for them to grow of course, just was surprised of the missing brown colours, sadly none of the cream legbar egg was fertile, not sure why. We have hatched several cream legbar crosses this year from other roos.
posting some of ours, AC roo was with 6 hens,
one was big fatty white halfbreed hen, as she is big and heavy she is a good layer too
other was barred with some yellow tint,
black wyandotte,
brownish mixed breed
black with some white brownish spots not sure about the breed
cream legbar
none...
they are chickens from our mixed breed and all of them have the same feed, here is a pic of the others in the same place, fully feathered mixed breeds.
the bald chick should be from Favelor roo and one of our mixed hens, some other black chickens got some bald spots too, as the areas are bald...
hello,
could someone please help, some of our chicken this year (they are 3 months old) have bald spots on their body. Especially this one, its a roo and the body feathering is strange, head and neck is fully feathered. but the back is bald, top of the wings too, and the underwing part till...
not sure about the eggs or meat, as colours is mostly my interests.
however from what I know from different sources, khaki campbell should be a good layer, and orpington based on colours genes should be khaki plus other genes, but our orpginton female is not laying that offten as maybe should...
i had pekins and we bought rouens too, unfortunately rouen is the wild colour of duck and pekin is recessive white that is not getting any combination with other colours. What I've found out is that rouen x pekin will result in breakin up pekin's pair of white genes resulting that the babies...
this is actually first year we are having these coloured ducklings, i've collected the parents last year. I'm already thinking about to offer some of them for sale and there is already one neighbour who is interested in. I don't think breeders in my country would be interested in mixed breeds...
