    Rescue cockerel...what breed is he?

    If he is a cross, it's likely a multi-gen mix, bevause the mottling gene (which gives the white speckles) is recessive and needs two copies to express. So Russian Orloff seems possible as the mottling is more likely to appear in a purebred, otherwise I'd guess he's a multi-gen mix breed between...

    December Hatch Along, anyone want to join?

    That's so exciting! They hatched at 20 days, correct? Think mine might hatch early - being in Australia it's been pretty hot and dry.

    December Hatch Along, anyone want to join?

    It's the worst, isn't it? And I can't wait to see which, if any, of my chicks have inherited their father's muff!

    December Hatch Along, anyone want to join?

    I've got 10 days to go until my first hatch and I'm so impatient! I keep using the Chicken Colour Calculator to try and distract myself by calculating the outcomes of these eggs. Anyone got any exciting colour possibilities they're hoping for?

    Silkie hen x Speckled Sussex roo

    That's an adorable hen! Got eggs incubating from my Speckled Sussex girls by my Australian Araucana rooster currently. Hope they wind up half as cute!

    December Hatch Along, anyone want to join?

    I'm doing my first hatch. Got a broody Australorp on day 5/6 of sitting on five eggs out of my Speckled Sussexes, by an Araucana rooster. Originally were eight, but one broke and two were rejected yesterday - looked viable when I cracked them open which is a bit of a surprise as I've only seen...

    Roosters with high testosterone?

    I've got a Gold Laced Wyandotte rooster named Leodegrance of some mixed lineage, who I suspect has some abnormally high testosterone levels -- if that's a thing? First suspected it because he matured unusually early, he went straight from down feathers to rooster feathers with no in between and...
