    Questions on Dark Brown, Self Blue, and other genes in Old English Game Bantams

    Okay, tag me when you make your thread! I love reading your detailed explanations! As for my own project thread, I’m literally just leaving the starting line. Both varieties of the game bantams and the d’uccles I have are 5-6 week old chicks. :p

    Questions on Dark Brown, Self Blue, and other genes in Old English Game Bantams

    Thanks for the link! I was aware about the lavender gene and it being recessive. I plan to play around with it a bit with my two bb red hens. Thanks for the reminder though. I appreciate the great info. Hopefully it’ll help others in their own research. I promise I was trying to research this...

    Questions on Dark Brown, Self Blue, and other genes in Old English Game Bantams

    Found a thread where nicalandia tells the genetics behind self blue oegb (as well as gold laced sebrights). He says that it’s just lavender over Extended black likely with Ml/Ml. I’ll link the post in case anyone else is looking and finds my post...

    Questions on Dark Brown, Self Blue, and other genes in Old English Game Bantams

    That’s helps some. One of my inquiries I guess is where did the ginger reds get their Db. If they are bb reds with Db added, where did they get it. This could be a future (and possibly long winded) breeding project for me. I really like the ginger red hens and would like to recreate it in...

    Questions on Dark Brown, Self Blue, and other genes in Old English Game Bantams

    @The Moonshiner @nicalandia New to this, so sorry if it’s inconvenient to tag y’all. Moonshiner knows leghorns and I’ve seen nicalandia’s name pop up EVERYWHERE giving answers so I’d figure I’d give it a go. :D

    Questions on Dark Brown, Self Blue, and other genes in Old English Game Bantams

    I was looking into different color genetics for oegb’s and found a chart posted on a thread about ginger reds. Someone posted a page from “ 'Old English Game as bred and shown in the united states' by F.P. Jeffrey and William Richardson “, which says that Ginger Reds are crosses of BB Reds and...

    Yep! I really like your breeding projects, especially the brown red mottled d’uccles. I’ve been following along with that one for around a year and a half . I’ll probably just stay in the shadows though.

    How would you reintroduce chicks of varying ages back to the flock when older ones go outside first?

    Currently in a similar situation. The first day was the hardest for some of the new chicks. The oldest ones are 11 weeks, and the newest are 5 weeks. I had some aggression when introducing just two cause there were 8 older ones, so the odds weren’t in favor of the two. I put them in a medium...

    Light Brahma has blue eyes. Possibly not Marek’s (hopefully)

    The white skin is peculiar as well. Were your’s from a hatchery? Also, pictures would be great!

    Light Brahma has blue eyes. Possibly not Marek’s (hopefully)

    That’s neat! Are the blue eyes something you’ve bred for. Do you know if it’s recessive or dominant? I’d assume recessive seeing as it’s a less common trait in general

    Help!! Chicken with a hole in it’s neck!

    Can the wound be rinsed with something? Hydrogen peroxide?

    Help!! Chicken with a hole in it’s neck!

    I wasn’t the one who found our golden comet hen, but she had her head stuck in a feeder, for who knows how long, and the other hens felt the need to cannibalize her. She wasn’t moving much but is now standing upright in a low standing position. I’m worried about infection and keeping it clean...
