    Thank you! Looks like the polish farm is currently not selling anything due to storm damage. Thank you for the links for poultry shows. I tried to see about how to register our rooster for the "Rooster Crowing Contest" on October 20th at the State Fair. I couldn't figure it out. Is it Pan...

    We are trying to get the exhibition breed of plymouth barred rocks back into the flock. We currently only have one exhibition plymouth barred rock rooster. We accidentally mated him with a hatchery small barred rock hen, not knowing how to keep the exhibition. They have a son and three...

    We have single barred gene cockerels to swap for pullets/hens please.

    I saw the State thread and it seemed very general. What link would be a section for a chicken swap specifically in Texas?

    We have single barred gene cockerels to swap for pullets/hens please.

    UPDATE: We sold 4 cockerels. We have Copper, the Easter Egger left to swap for a hen. We are in the DFW area. I can drive to Parker, Johnson, Tarrant, Collin, Dallas, and Hood counties.

    The best way to breed what I've got?

    My goal is to breed high production blue eggers, high production olive eggers, and if possible perhaps a blue feathered bird with black lacing that has high production. Other outcomes to be easy sells. We are trying to make this easy as breeders to sell what's hot on the market. :) I know I need...

    Yes that's right. He's the only non barred.

    Genetics for breeding a blue feathered show bird with black lacing

    I don't see much difference. I would think bird genetics is quite similar. What is the link?

    Does the single barred gene to sex link chicks work with roosters too?

    So let me see if I get this straight. So, if the father is single barred and the mother is not barred, then the daughters will not be barred?

    Barred Rock- Heritage or ?

    Thank you for the education! I live in Fort Worth and am in search for true breed standard heritage barred rock laying hens. Do you all have any idea which company/farm/homestead sells them?

    Genetics for breeding a blue feathered show bird with black lacing

    Okay this makes sense how color is distributed. I like looking into the science. Back in the day, since I'm in my 40's now, I really loved the Genetics class in High School. It was my favorite subject and I'm excited to breed chickens. It will be neat to accomplish this goal. Thank you to...

    Genetics for breeding a blue feathered show bird with black lacing

    Very interesting. I was beginning to think with the other comments that our eyes were playing a trip on us with a dark blue colored lacing. The stacked grey sounds more likely.
