    Help! Misplaced Air Cell - what to do for lockdown?

    Insanely well! 14 of the 16 hatched. The chick with the air cell on the side had no problem getting out. I hatch them in egg cartons, but the side one I left on the side with the cell upwards. It started pipping before getting kicked around. I had one like that on this hatch too. Both got out...

    Frizzle or bad feather gene?

    Well, not super smooth but not frizzled either. There are two birds that came out like this. Looks like they’ve had a soft body wave perm. Just the feathers from neck and back/shoulders. They are 7 weeks now and continue to watch how they are feathering out. They’ve got medium size crest now...

    How to make a Polish Cochin cross.

    14 hatched! They are 5 weeks old now. Looks like Orpington/Cochin, Whiting True Green/Light Brahma, Olive Egger/Polish, and Light Brahma/Polish. I hope to get some pictures today.

    Frizzle or bad feather gene?

    3 week old barnyard mix Roo. Mom was Olive Egger, likely a cuckoo Marans and Cream Legbar. Dad was a Polish mix of a Tolbunt Polish Roo over blue laced frizzle polish. What is going on with his feathers? None of the other 13 look so messy with ruffled feathers. Can you get a spontaneous...

    Frizzle or bad feather day?

    Can you get a spontaneous frizzle? I know the frizzle gene is dominant but I don’t have any in my flock. Can it actually skip a generation?

    How to make a Polish Cochin cross.

    I’m bringing this old thread back looking for Polish Cochin crosses! I have 17 in lockdown due tomorrow. But boy am I going to get backyard surprises! While I hoping for Polish cross, and he was not a standard color but oh so handsome with black, blue, white, red, and gold, there was also a blue...

    White Crested Red Laced Blue Polish Rooster

    LOL the beginning of their breeding tolbunts. Yes he is incredible looking! That’s why he is currently still here. Technically I’m not supposed to have roosters but his cockadoodledoo is quieter than my hens’ egg song. His name was changed from Cruella to Einstein after his first crow.

    White Crested Red Laced Blue Polish Rooster

    This fella was supposed to be a Tolbut Polish pullet. But HE doesn’t look like a typical Tolbunt. Would you say the better description is a white crested red laced blue polish rooster? And that’s a mouth full!

    Periwinkle, Blue Cochin, needs new boy name?

    What is a shredder gene? Is that associated with Cochins?

    Periwinkle, Blue Cochin, needs new boy name?

    This was 6 weeks ago with sister, at age 10 weeks. I will try for saddle feather pics; she is not easy to catch. They were a bit wet in this photo .
