    Standard Mille fleur d'uccle over blue splash cochin

    Would the reverse cross create anything different in the first generation or could I expect the same?

    Genetics question...Splash x frizzled mottled mutt

    My birds are such mutts that when I use the calculator and select the presets based on appearance (i.e. mille fleur, splash, etc), I end up with completely random birds that I shouldn't end up with 😂

    Genetics question...Splash x frizzled mottled mutt

    I have this splash boy with red leakage. Other males from the same cross are splash with buff leakage on necks and chest. This bantam hen is from a mille fleur mutt / cochin cross. Wondering what I might expect if I pair these 2 up?

    Buff brahma x barred rock eggs

    I'm on here looking for photos and saw your comment. From the little I know, the black and gold bird could not have resulted from a brahma x BR. The bird in your photo looks fibro. She has dark/slate legs. It's impossible for yellow-legged, white/yellow skinned parents to produce a bird like that.

    Will a broody hen take older chicks (two weeks old)?

    I'm so sorry I didn't see this! How did your situation turn out? We had a bunch of bantams (including the rooster!) sitting on a clutch of eggs this year. He was new and the hens were not very receptive to him yet. Unfortunately, only 1 of the eggs was fertilized. The chick hatched and I...

    Just realized how many typos were in my OP 😂😂😂

    TSCs out here use Hoover. I don't believe Hoover or any of the other hatcheries offer Braekels :/

    Does anyone have Braekels? Not Campines...specifically Braekels.

    I had a silver Braekel years ago. He got ornery and my kids were small so I rehomed him to a farm that took roosters. I hatched a chick out of him and her name is Ducky. She's amazing. Shexa tough (survived 2 predator attacks) and a good forager. She never goes broody. She's in her 6th year and...

    Easter Egger Sexing "tips and tricks" *Pictures Included*

    I agree that we need to see pics of the birds standing naturally from the side. An updated head shot that shows comb & wattles is helpful too. I can't really see this bird well but my initial take is that it's a roo based on color of comb & wattles. However, it's fairly feathered out and has a...

    What's the rarest breed or variety you have?

    Where did you get him from? I had to rehome my Silver Braekel years ago because my kids were young and he was getting aggressive with them. He was a gorgeous bird though his tail looked different than yours. I'd guess yours was a campine by the hen feathering. Regardless, my Braekel had a...

    Has anyone seen a Prairie Bluebell look like this?

    Mama would be a white leghorn so single combs are definitely possible. Purchased 4 today and 3 have single combs. They were in a bin with black sexlinks. There were white chicks as well but they looked just like the PBBs. No other white breeds were present in any bin. My thoughts are that...

    does temperature of incubator determine sex of chicken?

    I know this is an old thread but I came across the article that addressed this and figured there must be a post in this forum where I could share it for others to reference. It's pretty old and since I haven't heard anything regarding hatcheries using temp to sway their hatches, perhaps it's...

    Based on stance and comb, I'd guess the same.
