Thank you SO MUCH! This was such a thorough and we'll explained answer. I greatly appreciate you taking the time to educate me on this subject. 👏 I will relay this info to my daughter so she can plan her breeding program for next year.
Hi Everyone! Looking for some clarification on Sizzle breeding. If I breed a Silkie roo over a Frizzle hen ( frizzled hard feathering) what will the chicks be? My research has come up with all sizzles (frizzled Silkie feathering) or some sizzles, some frizzled, some just Silkie, etc. I'm so...
I breed Bielefelders and those are all definitely pullets. Some of my pullets feather in redder than others. I even have one out there now that is more buff on her chest than red.
I've had several pullets of this type coloring hatch from my small flock this year. I am selling them instead of keeping for my breeding program since the coloring is undesirable.
Yes, my Silkie roos crow more than my larger breed roosters. It's seems louder to me but I think it's because it's more shrill. The big boys have deeper tones. 😃
