Wanted: Liege Fighters chicks in Pacific Northwest
Within the last couple years we've noticed fewer and fewer small hatcheries and breeders available in our area. Their pages go blank, or say they're taking a season or three off. Are there still any active breeders offering Liege Fighters in Washington/Oregon/Idaho? I'm hoping to get a rooster...- NoJugular

Who's your daddy?
Hey thanks, guys. I was suspecting (hoping really) that the Deathlayer was the dad, and that the Gold laced Wyandotte mom put in the gold. (Definitely not a Deathlayer mom, we didn't hatch any white eggs). Daddy Ozzy was soon lain beneath a new Elderberry bush. R.I.P. Glad we get his...- NoJugular

Alright, friends. The final mystery bird. Saved the prettiest for last. 😍 Here's "Fawkes". Looks like a roo to me. He's in his 12th week. Suspected dads: ~ Silver Deathlayer ~ Ancona ~ Buff Brahma Suspected moms: ~ Gold laced Wyandotte, Silver laced Wyandotte ~ Dark Brahma, Light Brahma ~...- NoJugular

"Bealy Idol" is the Bielefelder cross rooster. Not sure of his lineage, but he's reported to carry the blue egg gene. Looks like gold to me, not silver. He's got the mahogany though, that's for sure.- NoJugular

Here's "Dusty". Feeling confident hopeful she's a hen. She's in her 12th week. Suspected dads: ~ Buff Brahma ~ Bielefelder mix ~ Silver Deathlayer Suspected moms: *<sigh>* Nearly any of them. ~ Buff Orpington, Chocolate Orpington, Lavender Orpington ~ Black Australorp ~ Dark Brahma, Light...- NoJugular

Any Clue What This Chicken Might Be Mixed With? Cockerel or Pullet?
Those tails ... agree, one looks like a cockerel and the other a pullet.- NoJugular

Who's your daddy?
Oh thank you, friends :) This is all fantastic. I'm in favor of the summary that: ~ If it's a boy, the daddy was a Buff Brahma (silver from mom); ~ but if it's a girl, then the daddy was a Silver Deathlayer. Baby's comb looks like an imperfect single, so it's likely p/P, but possibly p/p...- NoJugular

We also have a Barred Rock rooster. His babies are obvious =). We have many other hens, but I don't think they'd make a baby that looks like a Light Brahma. ~ Dark Brahma, Black Australorps, Buff Orps, Chocolate Orps, Lav Orps, Welsummers, Barred Rocks, Ancona, Gold laced Wyandotte, Silver laced...- NoJugular

Mamma has a Pea comb, but it could be rrPp or rrPP. The Deathlayer has a cushion comb (which could include "r" and "p"). So, it is possible that they produced a chick with a Single comb (rrpp). I'm still stuck on the idea that mom can't pass Silver to daughters; but maybe she provided...- NoJugular

Among our fresh spring babies, we got one that is the spitting image of her Light Brahma mamma. The biggest question is, which rooster was the father? ~ Ancona ~ Buff Brahma ~ Silver Deathlayer The next question is whether baby is a boy or girl. ... Momma only gives silver to her sons, right?- NoJugular
