    Hello! and welcome to the OEGB thread.

    This would be Silver Blue Oe Cockerel, what you have appears to be a cockerel possibly blue or splash may be one of several breeds but not OE without a single comb.

    Nanakat, your new calf looks a good deal the size of my unexpected new arrival. A vet check back in Aug says she wasn't bred but nature proved him wrong. At least the cow has two good teats and set in a decent amount of milk. I may still need to supplement but will know for sure in a few days...

    Medicated feed is not enough to treat coccidiosis, remove the medicated feed provide the birds with corrid in the water. Bloody stools are a dead give away for the problem.

    I could let a very nice Columbian OE breeder hen loose, it wont hurt me a bit. Most of these pullets are Birchen, Silver Blue Rosecombs that did not put in much of an earlobe. I also have a Trio of SilverDuckwing Rosecombs

    The Coturnix quail are great, they lay like mad, hatch like popcorn, grow and mature in 7 weeks. Surprises me every time they start laying as I can't believe they are old enough yet. The Pheasants take a great deal more time to mature and grow to a good size, but the meat is outstanding. I am...

    How to make Columbian variety

    The following are the Duckwing bred Columbian, these make for better male line birds. The color sacrifice is the female as can be seen. I found this to be the most consistent for good colored males.

    How to make Columbian variety

    That was columbian over wheaton. I started with columbian but were very weak in type. Columbian over silverduckwing or bb red provides females that appear as silver quill.

    They are very different gene set's that control egg color and comb type. The Single Comb is the most recessive, genetically, of all comb types and will only show itself when both parents in the mating carry the genes required for a single comb. They both must pass the gene set to produce the...

    How to make Columbian variety

    I should add I have been working on the variety in OE since 2007 / 2008 and have tried Silver Duckwing, Wheaton, and BB Red. They all work well but for the female color and pattern the wheaton works best, for males the Duckwing seemed to work best. The cock posted above was bred directly from...
