Thinking of combining brown red and lemon blue hens under lemon blue rooster to get a good variety of lemon blue brown red and lemon splash and putting my brown red rooster over my splash girls, from what I understand this will produce more lemon blues?
Ideally I want to do the breed justice, didn’t know if I am missing anything, or if there are advantages of keeping the lemon blue and brown reds bred separately. Also curious if there was a way to consolidate coops
I have the following:
Crele male & female
Millie fleur female
Brown red male and 3 females
Lemon blue male and 3 females
Splash male & 4 females
Looking for suggestions on the most advantageous ways to set up breeding pens using these- thanks! 😀
F1 egg chicks are out! All have feather legs to varying degrees, I’m wondering if a BCM x OE is more likely for the darker colored ones & a WTB x OE for the lighter ?
Thank you very much! I’m seeing some that are a variety of colors and noting a few with feathered feet that came out of the F1 eggs, I’ll post some pics when they are out of the incubator & all dried off 😀
I’m curious about crossing whiting true blues to black copper marans. What could I expect in the offspring? I have a clutch in the incubator that are all blue eggs from WTB’s that may have been fertilized by either a WTB roo or a BCM roo. Could I expect to see any visual cues to know if the...
I have a crele rooster & a variety of hens…. Wondering what these color crosses would look like? Pics would be amazing! Thanks! Included is a photo of Biggie the rooster 😀

Crele x Splash
Crele x Brown Red
Crele x Lemon Blue
Thanks! Good to know! I was hoping I had selected a pair… many had straight combs & webbed/extra toes! I tried to select the best pair to try and breed… these two were the only ones (out of 30 chicks) to both have 5-toed “normal” looking feet & walnut combs
These are hatchery stock from J&M Poultry…. The grew insanely fast… upon further research these are “broiler silkies” bred for consumption? They’re totally marketed as bantams… anyways wondering if anyone can help sex these two? Thanks!
Moonshiner I’m wondering if you can help me… how does the sex link property work with this cross? Is it identified by a head spot? I’ve read so many different things saying different things… I know I will get 50/50 blue/black but will all males have a head spot regardless of color?
