Hi All,
Sorry I've been absent for a while. This board is so busy I just couldn't read all the posts to catch up. I'm sorry for any losses, congrats on the hatches, welcome to any newbies!
Been a crazy week and a half around here. My uncle that lives just around the corner from me passed...
I've got a question for all you color genetics buffs out there!
I have a crele bantam rooster and a couple wheaten Ameraucana bantam hens. What color(s) can I expect to hatch, and will they be sex-linked?
Thanks in advance!

That 8 week old chick and the pullet (I forgot she's not quite a year old yet!) are the SAME chicken . Just goes to show how much the Calico cochins change over a little bit of time. :)
Hmm, will have to get more updated pics of Bonnie in the morning. Here's one of her from this winter...she had flown up into my arms and caught me by surprise. Luckily, I had my phone on me. ;) She literally follows me around like a puppy. Even if I'm on the outside of the chicken run, she...
The Mille Fleur and Calicoes all feather in different, and it's so fun to watch them mature! Here's my favorite hen, Bonnie, when she was around 8 weeks old...will have to run to the other computer for a mature pic of her. lol Oh, she's a Calico bantam Cochin, of course. :)
Lilwanis-when my chicken fever started just over a year ago, it was my husband that actually started it! We started with 3 chicks...which quickly grew to 6...9....12...and my flock has been shuffled around quite a bit as I learned more and knew what I really wanted. (That is still kind of a...
Brad, take care of yourself and don't start working too soon! Glad you got yourself taken care of. :) Love the sound of your new run!
Sundancen, welcome back! I'm so happy you're feeling better!
BluJems, I'm so so sorry about your eggs. I've had rough luck with shipped chicken eggs...
Thanks for the responses so far in my mystery Ameraucana. Guess we'll have to play the wait 'n see game!
I will be driving to Layton tomorrow if anybody needs a chicken train from Logan to Layton or back. I work until 11am, and have to be in Layton at 3, just so you have a time frame. :)...
I'm sorry I was wishy-washy about your Serama baby, Cynthia. Sometimes I can't make a decision and I sit on the fence forever! (My husband hates that!)
I would have snatched it up in a heartbeat if it wasn't black...I have a ton of black hens, cockerels and a couple black chicks. I want...
Alright guys. I'm going to run this by you and see what you think. I have 2 bantam wheaten Ameraucanas that I hatched 8 weeks ago. They are both feathering in like girls (although a smidge darker than my older 2 Ameraucana pullets) but yesterday I was looking at one of my 8 week olds. Her...
Thanks, Lisa. Was just at Cal yesterday and they didn't have any bantams left. Just some older (2 weeks?) LF chicks. That needed me to water them.
I may have to take a drive down to Ogden's IFA, but I'm willing to go further if someone here has anything. I have a little dog kennel to...
