I have fertilized eggs from a Mille Fluer d'uccle rooster and a BBS Orpington hen. What traits would the chicks have? Would they be small or large and what feather pattern would they have.. Would the chicks have issues because of the size difference of their parents?

Does anyone have an idea what gender these little guys might be?

Thank you!!! Genetics are very interesting with chickens, I'll definitely need to brush up before I make any attempt to hatch chicks haha.

Very tiny amount of bowtie so far.

What traits/appearance would a Paint Show Girl Silkie x Mille fluer D'uccles create? This is just out of curiosity at this point as my Mille Fluer chick has began crowing and I plan to keep him with my buff and paint Silkie/Show girl ladies.

I love the chest bumping and sneak attack chest bumping it's pretty funny to watch. They aren't hurting eachother regardless of size diffrence but it's hysterical how after they bump the sf stands really tall over the d'uccle and is like dude let me remind you I am 3x your size!

I wish! I'm glad your birds are healthy, I think certain breeds with them come from better quality stock. If I order online again I'd try cackle or ideal, I can understand that sexing errors happen, but deformed beaks and neuro issues cross the line for me. My 1 orp and d'uccle are the only 2...

My little man/woman will be staying until the first crow and I'm 100% positive, I wish I lived somewhere I could have roos because a tiny d'uccle roo with the big orp ladies who even as chicks have consistently acted like this tiny bird is invisible and doesn't exist in their orp world would be...

I will look into them! Thank you so much for your advice and sharing your experience, it is so appreciated! Truthfully I haven't had it in me to cull or send anything to freezer camp yet. I don't know if I will have that in me or if that's something that comes with time. This is my first time...

Oh man you've also had some bad luck as well! That's my fear with hatching, I can't have roosters where I'm at! 😔 Hopefully next round of chicks luck is on our side!

I'm thinking of hatching, I went to a breeder and got chicks after losing one from mpc and all of those ones came with coccidiosis. I've had really awful luck so far. 🤦‍♀️

I'd be devastated that's my favorite bird, that orp had feathers from 1 day old and has out feathered and grown the rest including the other orp who has no tail feathers at a month old and a same size and color comb for some reason haha. I'd be left with possibly 1-2 birds out of 6 considering...

I plan to do so, I've been refunded from this hatch already when one of my other silkie chicks died of neurological disorders. My surviving silkie from them has cross beak my SF has something going on with her beak as it can barely close completely which you might notice in the pics, and one of...

Thanks! I wouldn't say Nutmeg (d'uccle) looks over the other ladies, but maybe he is and his version is just fighting with and being very anti-Corn Pop (SF) since day 1 which is understandable that bird has been a real jerk since day 1. I can't keep roosters where I'm at so if Corn Pop can't...

Wow I really thought my sf was a boy! She's so mean and her and the d'uccle chest bump eachother all day haha.

All of these chicks came from MPC online hatchery, I'm suspecting at least 2 are male but I'm brand new to this and would love any input if you think I have some boys in my all female order lol. First 2 pictures are of my b/b/s orp Next 3 pictures are my SF Last picture is of my mille fluer...

Majority of them passed away, one passed away last night. I now only have 3 chicks alive out of a total of 7, and the remaining ones are all a week apart in age from that breeder. I was given a 3 week old chick as basically a guaranteed survivor with the 1 week olds just incase I had anymore...

I totally forgot about that reply I'm all over the place today. Fingers crossed! The first one to poop blood died and was getting lethargic by that point, the second one pooped blood but was still active and I immediately dosed with Corid so fingers crossed that one pulls through. I have 2...

3 out of the remaining 5 since I lost one chick this morning are active. One of the active ones excreted straight blood so I did a direct dose even though it is behaving fine. Can I give selenium with vitamin E to my very sick chick? One of the chicks now has an awful case of wry neck that went...

They're inside my house for me, I have other chicks from a online hatchery in the same room completely different brooder set up that have been fine and have normal poops. I genuinely don't think the breeder knows as these chicks were probably too young to show symptoms while with her. She did...
