    Pullet or cockerel - Hmong chick!

    Awwwww 🥺🥺🥺 My Jojo has a little sibling/cousin/relative that looks just like him! Sounds like a real character too!

    Thank you! I’ll tell her you said that!

    Pullet or cockerel - Hmong chick!

    That silver one looks a lot like one I hatched this year, and she ended up being Quail which is interesting. I’ve been learning a lot about genetics since I hatched my first eggs from my own flock this year. (Hmong on bottom, BYM pullet on top) I haven’t had too many problems with...

    Uh oh, another cockerel?

    Well, it hasn’t quite been two weeks yet but Thistle has grown a lot, but not in the comb and wattles department. They’re just about 7 weeks old now. I’m thinking she may be a girl after all, she’s still very pale.

    Pullet or cockerel - Hmong chick!

    Oh wow, small world! Yeah, about half of my chicks that have hatched from them (8 total, 5 last year and 3 this year) were always skittish, but the rest are sweet and friendly in a mild-mannered way. I think Nicole of SFF breeds for health, temperament and retaining the native variety of her...

    Pullet or cockerel - Hmong chick!

    I got them from Sugar Feather Farm in Vermont, they raise a lot of rare breeds there and have been super nice and helpful. I’ve gotten a nice variety of healthy and beautiful birds.

    Help with understanding leg color genetics!

    I see, thanks! I knew there had to be something I was missing.

    Uh oh, another cockerel?

    This chick is just a darling, super friendly but also a troublemaker! My Swedish Flower hens were all like that as chicks, it’s so cute seeing how these chicks inherited their parents traits since I know the parents so well. Their name is Thistle, guess I made a good choice choosing a...

    Uh oh, another cockerel?

    Huh, that is interesting. Of course, it’s much more complicated than I thought! The E locus can affect the shank color too. You learn something new every day!

    Uh oh, another cockerel?

    It’s just that I know (or have a pretty good guess) on who its parents are - mom is a Swedish Flower hen (crested) with yellow legs and dad is, I think, an EE with slate legs.

    Help with understanding leg color genetics!

    So, I’m awfully confused. I bred some of my birds together for the first time, not trying to start a breeding project or anything, just for fun - breeding my friendliest and healthiest birds, etc. just to keep for myself. So this got me thinking about how I could learn genetics to try to figure...

    Uh oh, another cockerel?

    This is an odd one. I hatched a couple eggs from my own flock, although I’m not sure exactly who the parents are. About 6 weeks old now, that comb looks awfully big… I was sure it was a pullet, I’ve been learning about chicken genetics, particularly leg color genetics. So, if a rooster with...

    Pullet or cockerel - Hmong chick!

    Those bronze hens are absolutely stunning! Hmongs really are amazing, they’ve quickly become my favorite birds to keep, because of their beauty, variety in colors and shapes, and charming calm personalities (although that varies too- I have some shy and flighty ones, too). Also, some more...

    Pullet or cockerel - Hmong chick!

    Cool, someone else who raises Hmong chickens! I raised 5 last year, but they all ended up being pullets so I had nothing to compare the boys to. Of the 3 I hatched this year none are fully fibro, which is interesting, but does make sexing a bit easier. It would be lovely if this boy ends up...
