Quote: I have not yet decided who to pair him with - I still have some pullets growing out. He just might have to wait till this fall or next spring when I have some MF/Mottled crossed pullets.........but we shall see. LOL - his name - he was a horrible bitter when he was younger. A bite...

Quote: I love the pic of him crowing! His chest chevrons are nice. I have some guys with his color I want to work on type by breeding with some Black Mottles but I bet that will mess up color for a few generations. Thanks, I was lucky - he placed himself on that bucket and it was just the...

This is Tyson. He is a Valentines day hatch cockerel. The first set of 4 photos were taken 6.16.11 These 6 were taken 11.13.11 - you can see more color (black chevrons and white tips) coming in on his chest. He is still maturing and filling in, but I know I...

Quote: STOP!!!! Stop tempting me.......honest I want a couple, but do not NEED a couple. So glad you do not live closer to me.

She is stunning.......... I hope I am not over-stepping myself here (sorry if I am), but I have two hens who look like this - colorwise. They are not Calicos and she does not look like one either. If you examine each of her feathers - each will have the base body color and then each has a...

Quote: I don't know I don't know what makes that wing different than: Not trying to be a brat - just trying to understand. Quote: What is the difference between a weak wing and split wing? Does the "split" go further up the feather shaft - toward the wing bone? Is...

Well, I spent a good chunk of the day yesterday researching slit wing. And some of it makes me more confused. Most all on BYC is about silkies. Hattricksilkies has a good website that talks about it, but the photos are of silkie wings - and they just look nothing like my birds wings. Most...

Quote: Gaah, I must have missed that post Going to go soak my head now

Quote: Split wing? SPLIT WING? <-------Genny passes out. Not even something I had considered - I feel so foolishly stupid (instead of smartly stupid ). I had heard of it in Silkies, but not other breeds, I don't know why and I never even thought of it in cochins...

I am no expert, but do have this site bookmarked - discussing the color of MF D'Uccle rooster/hen: http://belgianduccle.hypermart.net/millefleur.html

Quote: Don't do that - keep to yourself! I am just starting out also and at times this thread moves so very fast; it can make a person's head spin. For me, growing them out is important, to watch the colors change and their bodies fill out. I think it is hard to tell if they will...
