    Seramas 6 weeks old (pullet or roo?)

    I've got 4 seramas. One I know is a pullet. But I am unsure on these three. Can a Serama expert help. Are both of the black ones roos? One has a bright red comb and wattles and the other does not. And the white one? The buff one is a pullet, right? Hoping for 3 pullets and one roo...

    Can someone help me figure this out! Cuckoo silkie question.

    He is fairly light. So, does the male offspring have 1 or 2 copies of the barring gene? Will he be just like the father and only have one? He does appear to be darker.

    They are silkies. I got both from the same person. No other rooster.

    Can someone help me figure this out! Cuckoo silkie question.

    I have this pair of cuckoos. I hatched out three eggs. I thought all three would be cuckoo. Only the male is a cuckoo. The two females are totally different. One's a blue and the other is a partridge. Is the cuckoo roo the problem? Parents are above Offspring below:

    Silkie exhibition colors

    Paint is different than a splash. Splash is blues and Paint, I believe is white with black "Paint" spots. It's my understanding that Paints are not recognized yet. But they are working on it.

    Silkie/Sizzle/Frizzle Breeding

    Hi, I don't know if you got your question answered somewhere or not...as it's been awhile... but I would say no on the sizzle to sizzle...since they both have the frizzled gene. You could end up with a frazzle. Smooth sizzle to a frizzled sizzle, I don't know the answer. I have both...and I'm...

    2 Roosters In 1 Coop?

    I have my bantams in a separate smaller coop. They all free range together.. but the bantams tend to stay separate. They learn to keep their distance from the bigger hens or learn to dodge them. See the top right. Those are my bantams. They are 3 mos old. They hang out together most of the...

    2 Roosters In 1 Coop?

    Oh yeah, I bet they'll continue to get along once the hierarchy is in place. I actually have more roos than this, they all free range and have their own group of girls. Sometimes, I'll see one running after another, but no damage done. They seem to know their place. Funniest thing I see is my...

    Moving new pullets into established coop?

    You will probably have to put them in the coop a few nights.. Mine have been confused as to what to do. I don't think they'll follow the older hens...if they don't already. I think as long as they have a different roost bar from the hens, it might work. How much smaller are they? I would...

    2 Roosters In 1 Coop?

    It is possible they'll be fine. How many hens are there? As long as there are plenty between them, it should be ok. I raised 20 chicks together and 3 are roosters. They are getting along so far.
