    Help me determine the color of my satin hen

    I hatched out a batch of silkies and satin eggs from a breeder last year. One of the chicks immediately feathered out almost completely white with some black around her body and some browns in her tail. I think shes easily the most beautiful satin I've seen and would love to know what her...

    Silkied and bobtail cochin

    Thank you so much! That was exactly what I was asking and I should've specified better. I love the bobtail and silkied cochins and thiught it would be amazing to have a silkied bobtail or start on a project working toward them. I've been unable to find any white silkied cochin hatching eggs, so...

    Silkied and bobtail cochin

    I was looking into silkied cochins and couldnt find anything definitive on what colors they can be found in. I saw bbs, calico, and white. I absolutely adore the bobtail variety of cochin and was curious on if the silk gene was found in that variety. If not could it be introduced? Maybe through...

    Breeding a dominant white to a gold cuckoo

    What would be the color outcome of breeding a dominant white rooster (schijndelaar) to a golden cuckoo maran? My theory is that the chicks would have a white body and gold heads, with males showing baring in the gold and females heads being solid gold.

    Help with confusing chicken colors (should be sexlinked)

    Update on the chicks: I did DNA testing on all except the black chick which in theory should be female, and all the others are male. I was really shocked, but that would mean the ghost barring theory must be correct

    Help with confusing chicken colors (should be sexlinked)

    If I'm understanding this right, no matter if the roosters had 2 copies of recessive white or one copy and a barring copy, the white chicks still have a 50/50 chance of being male or female

    Help with confusing chicken colors (should be sexlinked)

    After some research the white jersey giants were recessive white, would the white hiding barring still hold true? You would think the white wouldnt show at all if it was recessive and the chick was carrying a barring gene. Sorry for all the questions, I appreciate the help Edit: if the...

    Help with confusing chicken colors (should be sexlinked)

    Ooh, I had no idea it worked that way, genetics are so interesting. I completely misread the other explanation, my apologies. Would that mean that the only rooster is the barred one since thats what the hen passed down?

    Help with confusing chicken colors (should be sexlinked)

    No, I'm working on a project. But the coloring was supposed to be sexlinked

    Help with confusing chicken colors (should be sexlinked)

    Sorry I think my explanation was lacking, the pairing was a white male to a barred female. I thought explaining what the genetics of each parent was might also be helpful for figuring out why this pairing threw a melanistic chick.

    Help with confusing chicken colors (should be sexlinked)

    I recently hatched out 4 F2 satin giant chicks and they're currently 4 days old (pics are from 2 days ago). There should have only been 2 possible color outcomes, white pullets and cuckoo cockrels. But the chick in the first picture is black. The parents were F1 satin giants, both coming from...

    Can I get toxoplasmosis from over easy eggs?

    Thank you, eases my mind a lot. I was freaking out since I had made a dessert using egg yolks and I love an over easy egg.

    Can I get toxoplasmosis from over easy eggs?

    Freaks me out a bit honestly. Do grocery store eggs have this same chance? Ive been researching for hours about this stuff and cant find much other than a nearly 70 year old article and not much of anything new. I sure hope my chickens eggs cant harm me with a runny yolk.
