Nice chicks. Looks like you may have 3-4 males in there. The less defined heads with the lighter color should be males. They dont show any or hardly any black pigement lines on the head. None appear to be wheaten that carry partridge. The rear of all of them seem to be well marked and...

Some of those could still be wheaten. Since you have a number of them. The wheatens that carry eb will have the stripes slightly blurred to various degrees. If you dont know about it you may not notice it. If they have a zig zag type marking they also have the columbian gene. This is also...

The cold will dub them for you if frost bite happens. I supplemented their food with a regular dose of Flax oil to help them carry extra wheight into the winter. Seems to maybe have helped. I had less frost bite this yr. I also try to select for the shorter combs if they pop up. Dubbing...

Black red s or brown reds and black copper marans are the same thing. They are just the red gene on the birchen pattern. Birchen is reserved for when the silver gene is with the birchen pattern. The melinising gene covers up what ever color is there and can create a black chicken...

Creole Pene can lay a pretty dark egg, but some dont. They should be a good solid terracotta red brown, but not as dark as some of the blacks. My blacks have a differant brown and it has more depth to the color and is more of a brown towards a chocolate than a red terracotta, and they have...

Well you can use the ones that dont show any pattern as chicks. They should be ok. Of course you can breed them together it will seperate and you will still get some regular wheaten. Since the ones with pattern could be eb or wheaten with other just always try to mark them. I take pictures...

If it or they feather out colored like a wheaten female they are wheaten that carry something else, (usually its the partridge gene) . If they feather out as males , since the impure wheaten male looks similar to the partridge male then its really a toss as both have pencil marks in the neck...

The one chick with the stripe down its back is not a wheaten, or is an impure wheaten. Wheatens should be clear with no pattern on them til feathering. Males will have darker feathers .

You can cross them and many have. As wheatens sometimes throw partridge chicks. But the partridge penedesenca also carries the autosomal barring gene. And you would probably want to breed that back out as you stabilize your lines of pure wheaten and pure partridge. This barring gene should...

Cool , it looks like they all have a white spot on the head. It just didnt show in the other. The one probably is a rooster. Usually on most of my chicks when they are about the day you took those pictures , the roosters will show more comb on their heads and the females will start to grow...

Crele I thought the males were suppose to have a light spot on the back of the head. That third chick could be carring a dilution gene that is in some of the partridge colored birds and the crele is based off the partridge . If u notice the head is a lighter color, which the male should be a...
