So I’m buying some lavender cuckoo English Orpington hatching eggs, I’m very excited about it. However at the moment I only have a muave rooster. I understand the colors would most likely be split. But I was wondering what colors to expect from muave over lavender cuckoos? Also have a silver...
Hi everyone! I have 4 Wyandottes that are a few days shy of turning 10 weeks old. Two are silver laced, the other 2 are blue laced red (but look more splash to me?). We picked them up from a local hatchery when they were a few days old, and I have no experience with this breed. I've been doing a...
I would like to be able to take educated guesses on genders of chicks. I have received lots of responses on my chicks with gender guesses but I would like to know why the guesses are made. I have this SLW. I was told a female when I purchased it from a local store. When I posted her on here...
Here is 1. Muff or cheek fluff.
Here is two who I'm very sure has muffs. Would you say even a beard?
And finally, are these pins coming in silver laced?
We just moved to Edmond from Duncan. We were only allowed 3 hens...well thanks to local farm stores we had roos, which were a no-no. Luckily, we knew several country folk who didn't mind a new roo here n there. We currently have 10 large ladies, 2 bantam hens, and I went to a swap meet and...
Hello! Most SLO’s in my area have come from the same breeder, which has resulted in a weakened genetic line over time. I’ve recently been thinking about how to strengthen the genetic line of SLO’s, which I understand is usually done through crossing different lines. So here’s my question: Could...
I’m looking for Silver Laced Orpington pullets. Located in Oklahoma, but willing to drive within a few hours for the right birds. Please let me know what you have available. Thank you!
Hi there! I have a 5 week old chick (I believe to be a pullet) named Maggie with an interesting colour pattern. Would this be considered silver laced?
Her mother is an EE and father is Americauna, I got them both as day-olds so I don’t know much about their lineage. I’ve included photos of...
Hi, I have some chicks that are looking for new homes. $15 each for silverlaced and $20 for chocolate silverlaced, while these last!
We have made our flocks from birds that we had shipped in from Texas and local hens I have collected. They are free ranged and fed Payback All Purpose Feed with...
I just noticed my one month old silver laced polish chick’s beak isn’t quite right. I had a scissor beaked polish several years ago but this doesn’t look the same. The top of its beak has a very sharp curve and the lower beak seems to be too long. It’s mouth doesn’t close all the way and I’m...
I picked up two of these chicks from the feed store labeled Blue Laced Red Wyandottes (which I’ve been looking for forever so I was stoked!) and then after looking at them for a few hours at home I feel like the coloring isn’t right?! They are darker and more like black greyish, I’ve seen...
Hello all. I got 5 day old chicks last week from a lady who mail orders them. I wanted half a dozen Ameraucanas but ended up with 2 Ameraucanas, 1 barred rock, and 2 others that were supposed to be silver laced Wyandottes. I've never had any Wyandottes, so I am not sure what they typically look...
Hello everybody, I am currently undergoing a project for Double Laced Orpingtons. Many people think double laced orpingtons are Partridge Orpingtons. Partridge is actually multiple laced.
I wanted to know everybody's thoughts on this and to share some of your knowledge. I just started this...
