    🐣🐥Black Copper Marans and Whiting True Blues. Lots of videos🎥

    Got 29 healthy babies moved out to the outdoor brooder. Lots of diversity as far as colors, muffs, fibro, combs, and egg color genetics. Plenty of directions I could go in making selections. If I could put all the traits together into one flock they would be a chipmunk patterned chicks for good...

    thanks Wrath, 1 more hatched overnight to make it 29/31. Most of the chicks are olive egger and fibro Easter egger mixes and and about 6 of them are black copper maran backcrosses. I’m happy to have some diverse patterns in the chicks, my flock only has 2 duckwing birds and the other 14 are...

    Nice earthy tones today. Waiting for the the first eggs from the 17 wk old pullets. I’ve got 2 black copper Marans pullets, 1 easter egger, and 1 olive egger. My luck went south and I didn’t get a black copper marans rooster this last hatch. @wrathsfarm are you able to ship eggs this way?

    International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

    Here's a pic of one of my 15wk old olive egger cockerels. He's out of a black copper marans hen crossed with a whiting true blue rooster. I thought y'all would like to see the inheritance of the marans. There's 3 cockerels and they look basically the same. You can see there is ever so slight...

    THE KORAHMA GIANT PROJECT - NEW CHICKEN BREED TO BE DEVELOPED

    You are absolutely correct to call me out on that. My apologies. That statement was a significant error on my part. Let me correct that. Cochins have a single comb. The gene for a single comb is recessive (p). Brahmas have a pea comb. The gene for a pea comb is dominant (P). Therefore, in...

    THE KORAHMA GIANT PROJECT - NEW CHICKEN BREED TO BE DEVELOPED

    yes, i asked gemini to take your plan and add jersey giant. It can definitely make mistakes. I asked "why do you say pea comb and feathered legs are recessive?" and it came up with: That's an excellent question that gets to the heart of Mendelian genetics. My previous response stated that...

    THE KORAHMA GIANT PROJECT - NEW CHICKEN BREED TO BE DEVELOPED

    Revised Breed Plan: The Korahma Giant (Brahma × Cochin × Jersey Giant) Rationale for Adding Jersey Giants Increased Size: Jersey Giants are even larger than Brahmas and Cochins in some cases, with roosters averaging 13-15 lbs. This genetic input can help the Korahma Giant achieve the...

    THE KORAHMA GIANT PROJECT - NEW CHICKEN BREED TO BE DEVELOPED

    good luck. do you have the foundation birds already? I'm curious how you will be able to reach that large size. I would think the f1 will show mid-parent values and the size of the brahma will be reduced. Maybe the f2s will have some outliers that will be closer to Brahma size. what AI did you...
