    NN x Ameraucana

    If anybody has, you would certainly get F1 offspring that have Naked Necks, Muffs/Beards, and lay blue eggs. I’m sure somebody out there has one.

    Marans With Featherless Legs?

    I have considered Welsummers, but I was under the impression that Marans have much darker eggs. I will look more in to them! Thanks for the advice everyone! And I am very intrigued by the Penedesenca breed!

    Genetics of This Pullet?

    Hello! Today I acquired an 8 month old Easter Egger pullet from a local feed store. Based on her appearance, does anybody have any assumptions about her genetic makeup? I’m a beginner to genetics, so I’m not sure if some traits like recessive white vs. dominant white can be distinguished by...

    Marans With Featherless Legs?

    It seems like I might have to suck it up and take what I can get. Beggars can’t be choosers, as they say. :idunno:):fl

    Marans With Featherless Legs?

    The main reason I dislike feathered legs is due to the appearance. I have a bantam Cochin, and although I adore her, I can confidently say (behind her back, of course) that I prefer the look of my other chickens.

    Marans With Featherless Legs?

    Hello! I am VERY interested in getting Black Copper Marans in a few years (Those EGGS!), but I strongly dislike feathered legs (No offense, but I like my chicken legs sleek lol). Are Marans without feathered legs bred often? Would they be difficult to obtain via hatching eggs or from a breeder...

    Lakenvelder EE Cross Results?

    Long time no see, BYC. The results are in! After 8.5 months, another built chicken coop, and some serious comb growing and reddening - My little pullet has FINALLY decided to pop out her first little gem. And it’s blue! I got so excited I hollowed it out and spray lacquered it. :celebrate

    Lakenvelder EE Cross Results?

    Here are a couple close ups of the offspring’s comb: The mother has since disappeared (hopefully broody :fl) but here’s a picture of her last year.

    Lakenvelder EE Cross Results?

    The reason I believe the EE mother would be homozygous would be that if the Hatchery had heterozygous breeders, then offspring could lay white or non-blue/green eggs, which wouldn’t be ideal for their business model as a Hatchery selling blue/green egg layers. However, after reading about this...

    Lakenvelder EE Cross Results?

    The mother is an EE (“Ameraucana”, but actually not) from McMurray Hatchery, so I’d think that she would be homozygous for blue eggs. She has a pea comb.
