I’m wondering what the poults of a Bourbon Red tom crossed with a Narragansett cross hen would make? Pictures would be great! But also an explanation of how the genetic crosses work and how the color genetic works would be great!

Okay so I have 9 EE hens right now and I’m wondering that if I add an EE Roo if I can then sell EE chicks in the spring? but I’m not sure if that’s how the whole genetics thing works.. Someone explain lol. (For some background I do know how some genetics and punnet squares work, just not when it...

One more question, what do you get when you breed lavenders, like lavender Roo to lavender hen?

Wow, that’s great! Thanks!

Hi! So I’ve recently sold my breeding BBS English Orpington’s and I’m looking to start something else. I’m wanting to purchase chicks now to be mature by next spring/summer for breeding or for resale if I change my mind. So that leads me to my questions: 1. How would I breed Americauna’s...

I have a lady offering me a set of Mille fleur d’uccles but they don’t have feathered feet.. why might that be? They look exactly like Mille’s.

I’m not quite sure how to word this actually, but I’ve got some questions about Seramas. I don’t know much about the breed but I’m wanting some. My questions are: 1. How does breeding work? .. I know that they come in many different colors so I’m wondering that if I buy a few that are all...

But doesn’t it mean that since they’re either Splash x Blue crossed or Splash x Black crossed... so shouldn’t they only be able to be Blues or Splashes

One more thing.. would you mind taking a look at the pics I posted below and taking a guess on which ones are blue and which are splash?

Thank you! Makes total sense.. I’ll add their pics, there are 7 of the little things 😁. This was my first time hatching and I was sooo nervous but I got a 7/7 hatch rate and they are all healthy and doing well, turning a week old tomorrow :)

Yeah that actually helps a lot knowing which genes are dominant and recessive.. that’s so cool!

Okay so I just hatched 7 English Orpington chicks.. their father the Roo is a Splash, while one of the mother hens is a Blue and the other is a Black. I posted them up for grabs on one of my Facebook groups and this woman asked for a Blue and a Splash. I answered her: I’m sorry but they’re...

I’ve posted here many times before and been helped out a lot so I figured I should go here first. My Cochin hen has been sitting for 3 weeks now and I’ve started to notice this white growth around her eyes. I believe it has slowly spread over time but hasn’t been too large of a concern until now...

So it’s my first time with letting a broody hen hatch out her own chicks. And though I know this probably happens all the time, I was wondering how separating her from her chicks would cause her to react? The chicks are about 3 weeks old and they’ve not been separated before so I was just...

So I’m kinda new to letting broody hens hatch out eggs and I’ve recently bought a Cochin hen. I believe she’s beginning to go broody as she’s been on and off the nest for a couple of days now. I have let her get a collection of about 5 eggs in the last 5 days, and I’m wondering, if she does...
