    Silverrudds x Bielefelder and Legbar.. what color should chicks be?

    Interesting update. So the black ones were successfully sex linked. The other ones also were sexable pretty early, once the combs came in there was a distinct difference in comb size. These are the 2 tan girls, weird that they are different colors. It almost looks like lacing! Interesting...

    Silverrudds x Bielefelder and Legbar.. what color should chicks be?

    Thanks so much for this info. Greatly appreciated. I will most likely just sell as straight run to save space, but if I do keep them I will post more photos and findings as they age

    Silverrudds x Bielefelder and Legbar.. what color should chicks be?

    Yes, the black chicks are showing some with white dots and some without. Is the barring gene the only one that affects that? If so, then I can definitely tell between those at least. I will probably just sell the lighter colored ones as straight run, or keep them to see what happens with their...

    Silverrudds x Bielefelder and Legbar.. what color should chicks be?

    It is interesting thats for sure. I am unsure if he is a standard color for the breed, but he came from a reputable breeder so who knows. All I know is he won't work for my sex-link crosses LOL. Thanks for your help.

    Here is the rooster.. I feel like the slight markings on his chest may be the culprit..

    Here are the babies. The lighter ones are all the questionable ones. I will get photos of the adults.

    Silverrudds x Bielefelder and Legbar.. what color should chicks be?

    I have a blue Silverudds isbar rooster over cream legbar and bielefelder hens. I thought this would result in blue or black chicks that are sex linked, but some are coming out very similar in color to the hen color.. Is this a possibility?? I will add photos of the chicks in question

    Cream legbar sexing/good chick color

    These are my babies from eggs I purchased. I can tell most of them by their distinctive chipmunk stripes on girls and the boys with dots on their heads, but there are 2 that are not very well marked. I am guessing that they are girls? I will not be keeping them to use for breeding due to not...

    Multi breed coop plan help!

    Hello, I have recently acquired 2 wooden shipping crates that have a floor size of 6x7' each. I am hoping to be able to turn them into 1 large coop that could also be divided into separate smaller areas for breeding groups. I would ideally want each section to have access to a run outside. I...

    Breeds for a breeding project! Thoughts and opinions please!

    I have a decent amount of room, but yes, money and structures are the problem. Plus my bottom field with all the room backs onto a forest and we have had bears and cougars through before... so im going to have to put up some serious fencing and protection to make it safe for chickens. That is a...

    Breeds for a breeding project! Thoughts and opinions please!

    I want to have a few breeds, eith a focus on producing exceptionally pretty eggs. Unique colors like deep browns and olives, and blues. My other hope is to be able to have them either sex linked, or autosexing as I live in an area where many people can only have females. My ideas were: Pen...
