    is this possible? lavender araucana x white leghorn offspring.

    I have an Lavender Ameraucana rooster and a white leghorn hen and I'm thinking about hatching some of her eggs... Do you all know which comb is dominant in this cross? I read in the thread that white is dominant and I would have to breed back to get any lavender actually show up.

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    I want to hatch some olive eggers this spring and I'm a little overwhelmed with the whole thing. I think I have the stock birds I will need to do this...and do it pretty good...but I need some advice. For example, what birds to put together. I've always read about the FBCM with the EE or...

    Blue Copper and Splash Copper Marans Discussion

    Hi, I hatched several blue maran chicks this spring and so I follow this thread for advice on blues and splashes...to learn what is good and what is not so desired (coloring, conformation, etc). But to simplify things and have it all in one place as a starting point, is there somewhere that...

    Silver penciled is what you get 100% of the time from crossing partridge hens with a black roo? I just want to make sure I understand you correctly :) I just looked that color up and they are really pretty. Thanks for your input!

    Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

    GLW's have a rose comb and from the pics, it looks like yours has a single comb?? Barnevelders do have a single comb, however, they normally lay a dark brown egg. My Meyer Barnie does and she doesn't really look like your bird in the picture. She's a pretty girl, but I'm not sure what she...

    Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

    Primaknits, sorry, I'm just now getting a chance to get on here in a few days. These chicks are keeping me busy busy busy lol.

    I got a few better pics of my 3 week olds in question this afternoon, if anyone can tell by feather pattern and leg color what these little gals might be. Have 3 of these. Only ordered 2 RIR's. Maybe?? No idea. Only have one like this (I think) and didn't order any singles. Have 2...

    Meyer Hatchery Chicken pics anyone??

    All 33 of my Meyer babies are doing good and growing like crazy. I have pics of 11 of them to post to see if anyone can help ID them. I'm still having trouble deciding who are my 3 Welsummers, 2 Barnevelders, 3 Speckled Sussex, and 2 RIR's. I have the twins of Primaknits chicks! I have one...
