    Lavender and Isabelle Ameraucana Cross

    I am trying to make this color as well. Although I have an Isobel Roo and a Lavender Hen. When my Lav girl had babies they were all plain lavender. Gonna try breeding the offspring back to the isobel and see what happens. According to the chicken genetics calculator an Isobel x Lavender (split...

    Which Blue Copper Marans rooster should I keep?

    Thank you! Would it be worth letting my darker Rooster in with my pen of Black Copper girls for a bit before I rehome him just to get a variety of different colored chicks? Or should I avoid this? I'm not planning on showing, so I'm okay with a few pet quality chicks. But I don't really want to...

    Which Blue Copper Marans rooster should I keep?

    I think the light gray and orange cockerel is probably more in line with the standard coloring/pattern. But I am wondering why the rooster looks so different. I don't know if his appearance is still considered normal for a blue copper rooster or if maybe he isn't a purebred blue copper marans.

    Which Blue Copper Marans rooster should I keep?

    I'm not too worried about the feet feathering as I have Black Copper girls with feathered feet. Both of these boys have some feathers on their feet (probably too hard to see in the photo, sorry). Moreso curious about the colors.

    Which Blue Copper Marans rooster should I keep?

    I don't think he is splash. He is all gray underneath. It might just be the lighting making some areas look more pale. Unless this is what a splash Maran cockerel looks like? I am not familiar with splash marans.

    What color hen should I breed my Isobel Araucana rooster to?

    I have an Araucana Rooster which I think is an Isobel. He is lavender with light gold / straw color on his back. If I want this color pattern to show in future generations (without using an isobel hen), would it be best to breed him to a Lavender Ara hen or a reddish Ara hen? Or something else...
