An olive egger that is chocolate colored 🙂

Hello! Does anyone breed chocolate olive Eggers? I’m having such a hard time finding anything. I recently hatched out a cute little chocolate olive egger pullet (they’re sex linked because dad is chocolate) but I’d love to get a chocolate olive egger roo... without going through a million steps...

I would love it if you have the time, could you expand on this? I breed Opal Legbars and constantly have to watch for the recessive white gene. This will be my first foray into brown egg genetics. How would you go about breeding back to brown? My other option was lavender Old English Game x...

Yes. I considered that but then you have recessive white egg gene correct??

Yeah it was that one. I want to recreate the champagne Welsummer’s. From what I understood, they used e+/e+ (Welsummer) and an E/E for the lavender. And that was terrible odds. I’m trying to think, surely there’s an easier way to recreate them. I couldn’t find them from the original breeder...

So you replied the other day on my other genetic question. Would breeding the e+/e+ to the Brahma (e^b/e^b) result in a better genetic match? I have a e+/e+ that I’m wanting to introduce lavender to. so breeding the e+ to the Isabella brahma, would that give me better chances than 1/32 for...

Hi! I’m curious if anyone knows what “E”Isabella Brahmas would be on the E Locus (E/E, e+/e+, etc.). Thanks!

Thank you both 😊 That’s what I was wondering. I appreciate it.

Hi! I’m wondering if anyone knows what would happen if I put a mahogany gold duckwing (e+/e+, s+/s+, M/M) roo over a lavender hen, who I’m assuming would be E/E extended black diluted by lavender. My guess: they would all end up black (bc E/E is dominate). Split to lavender. Would that also...

Thank you! That was definitely quite informative!!! I really appreciate that link.

Hi! I’m so sorry, I have no idea how I missed your post. It turned out to be infectious coryza. An also awful disease but thankfully not one that’s passed on through eggs. I have closed off my current flock as I can’t bring myself to cull over 100 birds. They had the flare up in August and I...

Hello! I am interested in learning about the genetics that create silver pencilled/partridge coloring. After hours of trying to research it online, I figured I would consult the experts on here!

What kind of leakage would it cause? It would be from the Jubilee right? I know chocolate is black based diluted, so it shouldn’t cause leakage. Jubilee is the one that causes the leakage correct?

Hi all! I was wondering the genetic results from crossing a chocolate roo to a Jubilee hen. I just wanted to see if my assumptions are correct as far as possible offspring. Jubilee is a variant of the mottle gene, which is recessive. Thus no mottling would be passed to the offspring, but they...

Hi. I have a young blue copper marans chick that is showing some weird growths. I thought initially maybe it was sinus canker, but I’m noticing other “growths” on her. 🙁 anyone have any ideas?

Oh no... oh my God I hope not. I have over 100 chickens in my flock, I would be devastated. I will be getting a test for it done. Any clue where I could have them tested in Texas?

Hi everyone. My baby chicks (-about 3 weeks of age) seem to have some respiratory issue. I’ve been battling this in my main flock, I’m worried that I didn’t wash my hands after handling my main flock and I brought it to my chicks. 😔 Does anyone know what this is? I have given my main flock two...

Unfortunately she passed last night. She refused food and water both after about 5 am, so we made her as comfortable as possible. 😔

She’s wet because I’ve been coaxing her to drink. My bad, should have addressed that in the original post. She hasn’t pooped yet. We separated her, and will keep you updated 👍🏼

Please help! My chicks are sick, and I noticed today that my polish chick (roughly 8-10 weeks old) has developed some sort of mouth lesion. I tried to get the best pictures I could. Anybody, what is this? How to cure? They’re currently on doxycycline for respiratory issues, that’s what the...
