    I crossed an EE with a Lavender Marans and got the mailman’s child.

    UPDATE: now that the lavender Marans are a year old, I noticed on one of them had some red bleedthrough on her head! She's not a Lavender BCM like I bought, but instead must be a Wheaten Marans...mystery solved.

    yes very true, I was referring to the fact that his mamma is lavender so she is black with the lav-genes…vs straw ie. red with lav genes. But i guess she could be heterozygous for black….and have given a red to this little one

    I think you are right! The lavender is supposed to only act on black, but i guess she could be recessive for red.

    I assume dirty is jargon for impure genetics? Yeah they could be… but not likely. They’re French Marans with two lavender genes and the breeder is pretty adamant about that…I guess I should research skin color genetics again…but I thought it was pretty straightforward…unlike the comb scenario.

    Can silkies survive the cold?

    Hi! Yes they’re cold hardy—but, make sure of a few things…1. They’re fully feathered. 2. There is no way that they can get wet, an open water source can be disastrous in the cold, even a few splashes if it’s below freezing. 3. Remember that wind chills can be considerably colder that the...

    Yeah like some hidden genes, but the white feet really threw me…as far as I know all EEs should have slate/green legs…but who knows really with EEs.

    Baby chick behavior or sick?

    I wouldn’t separate her if the only difference you see is lethargy, the stress could do more harm than good. It won’t hurt to give them all yolk but it needs to be consumed within 24 hours and it should be well mixed with water, you don’t want it drying thick on their tiny beaks/noses/feathers...

    Tell me how this baby is Red with white feet. Both parents have black or slate legs and all of his siblings were the typical black, French Maran coloring-markings. (s)He is cute though! Mamma, The Daddies The baby! He’s the only redhead in every photo.

    Baby chick behavior or sick?

    I would be concerned with any behavior that differs from the group, you are right to keep an eye on the little one. I personally always turn off any light at night and rely on the a safe-contact heating plate and their cuddles for warmth at night. I also wouldn’t use a syringe ever to hydrate a...

    How to Fix Slayed Leg Towards the Front

    you make the chicks foot look sort of like a duck foot with the bandaids. It gives them like tiny snowshoes (increased surface area) to uncurl toes and train leg muscles.
