    Giant Silkie True Blue project

    We have a very strange update… so F1’s are hatching but the results of my silkie cross Cochin are not what I was expecting. Here is a pic of the rooster and a pic of the hen. Later I will post a pic of the chick/s. Any guesses what their chicks should look like? (The photo of the hen is not mine...

    It's time for Nicalandia to create his own breed of Chickens

    The fact that they debunked the earlobe egg color link is what kills me about it! I will take a look at that link though, thanks.

    I think it’s a gene but I can’t find any studies on it or even just people posting. Could be the search parameters though because as soon as you put the word blue next to the word earlobe all you get is egg color stuff related to earlobe color.

    Honestly anything related to blue earlobes.

    Any chance you did some experimenting or know if anyone did? I can’t find anything concrete

    Giant Silkie Project.

    I am finally hatching F1’s for my giant silkie line. I may take the Brahma out but I haven’t decided. My Brahmas just aren’t that big but the Cochin line I’m using is massive. Have you needed to artificially inseminate? At the moment I have a silkie rooster with Cochin hens but I might look into...

    Giant Silkies

    I’m starting a giant silkie project but I’m still waiting on my parent generation to mature so I can start. I will probably have F1 hatching in spring (not for sale or anything) I’m excited! Do you have pictures?

    Giant Silkie True Blue project

    The first generation will be split for hh (the silkie feather gene), so the second generation will be bred back to pure silkie 50% of the offspring have hh homozygous for the recessive silkie gene. It’s going to take 7 generations and a lot of barnyard mixes sold to neighbors, but that’s part of...

    They are blue black splash hatchery stock. I’m not sure I’m gonna keep them. I might look for a better breeder. What chicks did you hatch?
