Im collecting them from a breeder here in ireland

Gererally, if a chicken is a lighter colour (white,buff etc.) they will have a plain white beak... If they are splash,cuckoo,mille fluer etc. they will have a patchy or black/grey beak... If they are black,blue etc. they will have a black/grey beak Hope this helps!

On Monday, Im getting 25 new orpington chicks.These chicks are from one of the best breeders in Ireland! Theres, some LF lavander,some LF goldlaced, some LF buff and some bantam chocolate!!! Theyre 4 weeks old.Im soo excited I will post pics on how theyre getting on

This Is definatly the work of the other chickens, NOT A RAT!!!! This problem occurs in mostly cornish and meat birds that neat a high protein diet. When they dont get enough protein they will try to eat the other birds. Also if they dont have enough room they will feather peck and resort to...

Ill try get a araucana roo or a cream legbar rooster

Id love some easter egger roosters, but araucans arent really a big breed over here in Ireland so not many people breed them. What about a goldlaced orpington? I have a few spare. My cousin had a maran x araucana rooster for sale, but he is on the other side of the country. thanks:D

Hi there, I have some lavander araucana hens, I want to breed easter eggers and have nice lookig chickens and eggs??? thanks

sorry i thought tolbunt was just like jubilee, with more white. that makes it harder than. I have a goldlaced orp cock for sale, aswell as a pair of jubilee - but im in Ireland!!!

Those are lovely looking birds!!!

Would it really cost that much???? I think you could get some jubilee orpingtons, cross them with light coloured jubilee orps, then maybe again with mottled coloured birds.

just wondering what a cross between a shamo and a araucana look like? also what would a shamo crossed with a orpington look like? Thanks

Ok well sizzle no. 1 looks very like splash to me! a nice colour in silkies sizzle no. 2 + 3 look like blues to me! youll have to wait a few weeks to see the frizzling or silkying on the feathers.

Nobody??? just post pics of ANY crossbreds you have at home, PLEASE

this thread is just to help me see how I can produce some new, different colours of orpington bantam. Please post a picture, saying what colours were used to create that bird. Thanks a mil

Well my cousin breeds orps aswell and were both hatching out a cross between a goldlaced cock and a buff hen. Mine have only just hatched 2 days ago, but his hatched out 5 months ago. Unfortunatly his were not the "buff columbian" we were expecting, they were buff with patches of lacing and...
