    Breeding Ameraucana Muffs and Fluffs

    Heres a good example, the neck feathers are swooped behind their head. I want to try to breed a chicken with big neck feathers and little to no beard. Do you think I can breed out the beard while keeping the neck feathers?

    Breeding Ameraucana Muffs and Fluffs

    Hello! I've had some Ameraucanas with super big swooped back neck feathers that reminds of ingrown araucana tufts. I'd love to get tuft(ish) chickens since araucanas are hard to find, do you think I can breed the fluffy neck feathers and out breed the muffs/beard? Any genetic info or advice is...

    African soft fur rats; are they a good snack for young chickens?

    Hello! I'm thinking of breed ASFs for my baby snake and was wondering if my 3 month old chicks could eat them and learn how to hunt small rodents?

    Heterochromia genetics

    My question is about animals in general, I haven't really seen distinct heterochromia in chickens

    Heterochromia genetics

    How about mammal-wise? I know this is less of a chicken thing but I thought this would be a good forum to discuss general genetics. I haven't found much on the Internet so if anyone has any personal experience with heterochromia genetics I'd love to hear them out.

    Heterochromia genetics

    The example I gave was more based on cats/dogs. I've owned turkeys with sectoral blue-black heterochromia though and a chicken with marbled eyes years back so I know birds can have it heterochromia, too. It's mostly a genetics question though. I'm just curious how dominant heterochromia is and...

    Heterochromia genetics

    Hello everyone! I've seen color calculators and was wondering if anyone knew one for eyes? I'd love to know what blue-yellow x green eyes would make, how green-blue and general heterochromia originates, and how heterochromia varies across species. I haven't found much online so if you know some...

    Taping cat ears; similar to taping dog ears?

    That's horrible! I know cats and dogs aren't the same but it makes me wonder if dogs with floppy ears also have anything they are prone to? I know they get ear infections easier since their ears provide a darker more optimal space for bad things to grow in there but does anyone know if there are...

    Taping cat ears; similar to taping dog ears?

    Thank you for the info, everyone! I love the floppy/folded ear look but prioritize their safety and comfort first so I won't be taping their ears just to update. Also, what's the genetic issue in Scottish folds and how does it affect them? They were one of my favorite breeds as a kid and I was...

    Taping cat ears; similar to taping dog ears?

    I've seen people taping dog ears for show or preference to be up or down. I've wanted to adopt a cat with Scottish fold ears but currently have a domestic short hair kitten so I was wondering if there was a way to tape cat ears like people do with dogs and if it was safe and effective? I have...

    Houdan's butterfly comb

    I'll be crossing them with pea and single combs, how many generations do you think it will take to get a full butterfly comb? I really wanted to start out with a rooster with a big butterfly comb to simplify things but I'm not having much hope that it will happen anymore so I'll consider trying...

    Houdan's butterfly comb

    It was for anyone viewing the thread and didn't want to click off; a faster and easier visual. Would you happen to know any places that are selling any butterfly comb chickens or know how the butterfly comb came to be (such as crosses between other combs)?

    Houdan's butterfly comb

    I just wanted to go more indepth and include a visual reference.

    Houdan's butterfly comb

    This is a buttercup comb, it stays connected and has a lot more and narrower spikes unlike the buttercup comb.

    Houdan's butterfly comb

    Here are some examples for reference of what I'm looking for, butterfly combs go diagonally outward whereas buttercup combs are much more pointier and go upward in a cup type of shape. I am trying to find some chickens, chicks, or eggs from chickens that look like the ones in the photos.
