    Rooster combs & molting

    Is it normal for a rooster's comb to lose some color when he's molting? He seems healthy and the flock is healthy (just all of last spring's hatch is having a pillow fight in the coop every night - lol)

    Can u tell who is mother of chick?

    Isn't rose comb a dominant trait? Do any of your hens have a rose comb?

    Is this an Americana or an Easter egger

    The Ameraucana breed standard was developed in 1979.

    Can someone take close-up pics of feathered legs for me?

    Barnyard mix. I assume some Marans just from the look of him. He only has a few feathers on each foot, like maybe 3-5, which are usually broken off anyway. Im just wanting to see pics of healthy feathered feet to understand how the feathers actually come out of the legs.

    Can someone take close-up pics of feathered legs for me?

    My rooster has a few feathers on his legs and until now I just assumed they looked a little funny because of how the feathers come out.....but now I worry he might have the start of scaly leg mites. I cannot find any internet pics of leg mites on a feathered leg ...or even close up pics of...

    Barred chick from solid parents?

    Looking at the pics of the hen...her underbelly looks like it might be barred a little?

    Barred chick from solid parents?

    Momma. Bluebell. She is the only hen with a rose comb so I assume it's her chick. I don't own any hens that look barred like this chick does. And Big Al ,the only rooster.

    Barred chick from solid parents?

    Is it possible? I've got a young red barred cockerel that is from a grey hen (not true blue) and a red rooster. Is barring something that hides genetically? Or is his colour pattern just strange and not considered barred?

    Does not meet sop, not a breed?

    Interesting post! When I started thinking about pure bred chickens, I could not believe there were no breeding records (I come from horse/dog background where it needs papers to be considered a particular breed). Now I see where the "walks like a duck, talks like a duck" saying came from. lol...

    Ongoing respiratory sounds, but healthy

    Yes. Pretty much. He only started crowing very early spring 2018 (hatched last August). We did have ventilation issues early in the winter (first winter with chooks)....could that have caused it? But wouldn't he recover from that?
