Well the barring would make them sexable even if not pure e+/e+... I've heard some people get other varieties from their golden cuckoo marans, indicating they are not pure; so if you could tell me if your Golden Cuckoos breed true or not, that would probably be the best indicator if they are...
I want to develop a dual purpose city-friendly line, thus the interest in low/non crowing. I'm sure they'd still vocalise to some extent, but I want to try to get it to be as infrequently as possible during the day, and for it to be shorter/softer so as to be less obtrusive to city/suburban...
you can use our photo of our Pekin girl for the white duck example it says you need.
I will probably soon have some black swedish to photograph for bibbed examples, and a buff.

I have two good-tempered pet roosters that I am looking for a new home
for. One is...
Ok. well I can only spare a couple of the giants to place. Could place more of the black minorcas and WF Spanish as i accidentally ordered 2x the number of WFs I wanted :-P , and i can place one of the buff minorcas... IOW I can help you with a more varied flock :-) LMK if youre still are...
Would a white faced Spanish have wings that were that white as chicks?
I don't think they look like the Cuckoo Marans.
Otherwise, maybe the white is just because they are hatchery-stock quality.
These chicks are approx 5 and a half weeks old. They were from an order where most died from the Post Office's screwing up and letting them freeze. The order had lots of Jersey Giants, and a few White Faced Spanish, Cuckoo Marans, a Bantam rose comb, and other non-black breeds.
I had 1...
How many are you looking for?
I have Black Jersey Giants (and Black and Buff Minorcas that you might like to consider). They are a few weeks old. I'm in the west subs.
I'll have EE's (and other breeds) later in the year, and if you'll consider other breeds of turkeys- I've Palms/mottled-black.
I'm interested in getting some geese via eggs.
Is hatching eggs basically the same process as if I got chicken or duck eggs? (just of course, longer incubation time)
How big are the eggs- will they fit in a mini Brinsea incubator? If not, can I put them under a broody hen, and if so, how...
I love these birds, but we are in the middle of moving. How far along are you in reservations (Should I buy them very far in advance, or wait until we are settled in and closer to being ready)?
Had Wyandotte hatching eggs that were silver laced, gold laced, blue laced red, and partridge in LF and Bantam. Things didn't go so well, but two hatched (well, maybe a third will hatch late, but I don't know...) One is obvious LF, the other bantam.... But I do not know how to tell what...
