    anyone have a faverolles x isa brown?

    All grown up. i have no idea what is going on with this chicken. she looks like three different birds stitched together to me 😅 any genetic insights appreciated I'm at a loss as to where the barring came from.

    How did your flock annoy you today?

    one of my hens is broody. if i try to move her nest box in any way she gets stressed and abandons the eggs, so i left her in the coop with the door closed so the others don't bother her. my other hens think this is war crime. i set up a whole other coop for them and they are furious about it...

    faverolles silkie cross chicks

    they're about a month old now and the differences are apparent, the areas where a faverolles roo would be black are diluted to brown and are more heavily pencilled on the roo tho. i thought that was interesting

    faverolles silkie cross chicks

    I saw a faverolles/silkie cross once and immediately fell in love. they are so funny looking. so i made some. this is my first time breeding my own chickens. this is Fred, a partridge silkie so divine that the heavens open up and smile upon her and a choir of angels sing wherever she goes...

    anyone have a faverolles x isa brown?

    she's about five-six weeks old now and looks like a patchwork of duckwing and wheaten i think.

    anyone have a faverolles x isa brown?

    the white bird is unrelated. fascinated as to how an isa and a faverolles produced these barred feathers

    legbar mix genetics

    Welsummer makes sense actually- the breeder had Welsummer x Legbars as well but i couldn't remember which one I got, lol. she definitely has a normal single comb

    legbar mix genetics

    Hello. I got this legbar mix pullet from a breeder and i *think* he said she was a legbar/marans/wyandotte mix, but i forget exactly what he said. i am wondering what genes are expressed in her colour so i can put her type in the chicken calculator.

    anyone have a faverolles x isa brown?

    it might be of note i live in australia. i don't know if what we call ''isa browns'' might be a different cross. i noticed her stripes are a different color from usual. i thought that might be the influence of the rooster. so you're saying i should put silver duckwing x salmon into the chicken...

    anyone have a faverolles x isa brown?

    it has to be one of these two, which my neighbour calls isa browns. it did occur to me they aren't as hefty as your standard isa brown, which is why i threw ''or similar'' in there haha. they also have silkies, but the egg she hatched from was brown. how do you tell whether they're...

    anyone have a faverolles x isa brown?

    my faverolles rooster made this with the neighbour's isa brown hen and i'm impatient to see what she'll look like! has anyone crossed faverolles with isa browns or similar?
