    Understanding egg color genetics

    Yes, he would be the only one of my 3 roos that I know has a blue egg gene. Olive egger is only a maybe, but it would be waaaay back somewhere. He's an F5 or F6 olive egger. Makes sense. My olive egger pullet came from my blue Ameraucana hen and BCM roo. I would see a single comb in any...

    Understanding egg color genetics

    I'm new to chicken genetics/breeding and just read in a thread on here last night that I could've known that my first-generation olive egger pullet (from a BCM roo x blue Ameracauna hen) would lay brown eggs instead of olive, based on her comb (single like her dad's). Mind blown! If I were to...

    Copper Maran cross with Americauna help!

    I know this is an old post, but I have an olive egger who started laying a few days ago and she lays a brown egg. She does, in fact, have the single comb like her Marans dad. Maaaannnnnnnn!!! I had no idea the comb could give me that info! Thank you!!! My question would be if I want...

    How long before difference?

    This is my 3 week old fibro egger. This afternoon she developed a limp and she isn't wanting to put much weight on her right side. There isn't anything on the bottom of her foot. Her toes are straight and kind of point upward on that side when she stands, and it sometimes vibrates/shakes like...

    Help! Is there anything I can do for her?

    Nothing is coming out. She chirps a little bit when I squeeze her belly or massage her crop.

    Help! Is there anything I can do for her?

    I have a week and a half old chick who I THINK has something blocking her digestive tract. She didn't eat all day yesterday and hasn't eaten today. She has taken sips of Pedialyte and of water. She's really weak this morning. I tried to give her egg yolk yesterday for some nutrition, but she...

    BCM roo over Delaware hen

    Yaaayyyy!!! I didn't know the part about the barring being white, but I did know about the white spot on the head. That's what was throwing me off about this one.... no white spot on the head, just the coloring and barring. Her sibling is DEFINITELY a roo! LOL He has the white spot on his...

    BCM roo over Delaware hen

    This baby is from the above pairing. From what I understand in reading threads here, this is a sex linked baby roo judging by the barring, correct?

    "Louisiana "La-yers" Peeps"

    I DO love my girls and I never, ever, in a million years pictured myself owning chickens or being a chicken mom. I am just across the river from West Monroe (twin cities).
