    D’anver Chick’s Genders???

    I have 9 Belgian Bearded D’anvers with a momma hen that are now just over 4 weeks old. It may be a tad too early to tell, but the genders seem to be emerging. I know (99.99%) that these first three are cockerels, but the rest are confusing me. None of them have any waddle development, and there...

    Recommend Breeds???

    Hello! Let me first say that I believe this is the best place to ask this, but not 100% sure. Anyways: I am trying to find the best breed(s) That do well in an almost feral setting in northern climates. This may seem weird, but I kinda want to experiment with an open coop that I hope they roost...

    D’anver Quail Pattern Inheritance?

    Another question: So if the columbian trait is incompletely dominant, how does it affect the bird if only one columbian allele is present? Leakage through the neck feathers?

    D’anver Quail Pattern Inheritance?

    Thank you so much! Unfortunately, I’m a chicken genetics noobie :idunno So in this breed, quail is a combination of 3 diffferent genes? What would happen if say I cross a quail with a solid black?

    D’anver Quail Pattern Inheritance?

    I would love it if it is! Trying to decide on a rooster to keep and if it is recessive it would make my decision a ton easier.

    Brown Jersey Giant chicks?

    This is wild! If the eggs are ONLY from the Jersey giants as described, having muffs wouldn’t be possible, as they are dominant. Something is definitely not adding up here.

    D’anver Quail Pattern Inheritance?

    I am raising Belgian Bearded D’anvers and am unsure if the quail coloration is autosomal dominant or recessive, or sex linked. Can anybody help me out!? Thanks in advance!

    Barbu d’Anvers Color variety

    I will definitely post more as the check develops. After some research, my best guess is splash quail.

    Barbu d’Anvers Color variety

    Hello! I have a broody Cochin bantam with 9 Barbu d’Anver chicks that are now 3 weeks old. What color variety is this chick? I can’t seem to find any info online. It is growing buff colored breast feathers, and has a splash coloration on its body (a few darker feathers in its wings and back).

    Free Range Chicks?

    Thanks for the advice. Last night I let them out at 8:00 p.m and stayed out with them until they roosted. There are no chain link or wooden fences since this is a very rural area. There is a barbed wire fence near but the chicks just walk under or jump over it (I am friends with the neighbor so...

    Free Range Chicks?

    Hello! My flock of 30 (gave 4 away) is 6 weeks old tomorrow. They have been in the coop since week 2 (w/ a heat lamp). They have been roosting up on the perches for about 1 1/2 - 2 weeks. As soon as their run is closed off at about 8:45 they quickly perch. It usually takes an hour to get settled...
