    Is this baby split mottle and barred?

    Well, I've gotten good at noticing if they may be split, I bred for mottles for awhile but not show quality so may not have been reliable with correct birds. Anyway, a regular non-split will have a "solid" head. White typically not past the eye, uniform mask. Split has a patchy head, and mottle...

    Is this baby split mottle and barred?

    Yes, I meant split to mottle and also barred. I've gotten pretty good at noticing if one might be split to mottle, still getting used to barred gene. Now if only I could figure out if it was the rooster or one of my hens that is split lol.

    Is this baby split mottle and barred?

    Had this baby hatch out, and I'm curious if he is split to Mottle AND Barred? This baby is a inbred, but I am not breeding for anything but hobby, my birds don't leave my property unless someone is just looking for some egg layers. I posted his pedigree below, so there is a possibility of...

    Mottle or Not Mottle? Cochin Bantams

    Here are my 10, 2 day old Cochin Bantam babies. Moms are a Blue split Mottle and a Black Mottle. Dad is a Blue split Mottle. I'm still learning how to identify Mottles at hatch as I've only had a few, any help is greatly appreciated. I numbered them for ease, this is the smallest I could make...

    Prices for BBS and Mottle Cochin Bantam Chicks?

    This is going to be my first year selling chicks, just locally as I don't have enough birds for NPIP, but I have a healthy flock. I have some really nice Cochin Bantam chicks about to hatch. Its a BBS breeding and babies could come out mottle or not. I have 13 hatching and I def won't be...

    How much would/do you pay for a chicken sitter?

    Pet Sitter here. For just 3 birds, just feeding/watering, general checkup and collecting eggs I'd start at $5 per visit if within 5 miles and go up from there ($5 being a base price as I wouldn't use up any gas going that far). As a reference, most of my clients are 20 miles away (in a specific...

    Possibly Marek's?

    I have a flock of 12. 3 Orps, an Easter Egger, and the rest Bantam Cochin, with four roosters (two separate flocks, two are young cockerels atm). Both flocks have regular contact, they are just separate to prevent fighting between the two adult boys. One of my two adult boys has been sick for...

    Do any of these look like Orpingtons?

    I just put an ISO out for Orpington hens/pullets and someone commented pretty quickly with this photo of their birds. I'm used to the thick built English Orpingtons that I have three of. Are there other varieties? Because these don't look like purebred Orpingtons to me.

    Infectious Coryza Questions

    Considering he was getting better very quickly, until I ran out for two days, and then him getting substantially worse, yes I do know it did the trick.

    Infectious Coryza Questions

    He definitely didn't fight it off himself. He had to have lots of Colloidal Silver, and got pretty bad a few times there, but did make it.

    Diarrhea with otherwise Healthy Chickens

    It is enough food to last all day, they eat the rest at dusk.

    Infectious Coryza Questions

    It's October. He has had zero symptoms since and none of my other birds have either. I've introduced many new birds to my flock since and zero have gotten sick, all clean sources. Maybe just a rough Respiratory Infection?

    Black Mottle Cochin Bantam Roosters?

    Can y'all show some picture of Black Mottle Cochin Bantam throughout their life cycle (hatching to maturity)? I have one that looks like a Black Mottle and it is possible for him to be but I've never had either Bantam Cochins or Mottles. Thank you!
