    Would anyone care to guess genetics with me on my backyard flock?

    So after a while of tinkering with Chicken Calculator I think I’ve discovered that Bacon and Blue Cheese are what’s known as black pattern quail and black pattern silver quail respectively which means somewhere in the flock must be a copy of Co and Ml. No Pg required thank goodness.

    Would anyone care to guess genetics with me on my backyard flock?

    Oh now that I’ve done more educated research, Budy’s dad looks like a Dutch bantam. He even showed tiny fuzzy feathers on his legs. I think it would be hard to tell if he carried mahogany. I’ll have to look at more of Sweet Peas baby’s to see if it could have come from her. She’s had more chicks...

    Also Also, I’m planning on keeping this girl And breeding her back to Mayo to see if this can eventually breed true because it reminds me of Sussex but nothing else looks even close from what I could find. The pure white breast is what throws me. One of the hens from the second clutch looks just...

    Would you call budy Mahogany by any chance? He was super dark red.

    That’s wild! It makes sense too why so many chickens look different. I wondered about Columbia gene too. I’m familiar with it from when I bred sebrights but I haven’t had any of those for years. I also have pictures of Bacon and Ranch’s full Brothers I wish I had any info on Sweet Peas...

    Would anyone care to guess genetics with me on my backyard flock?

    Thank you so much for the kind words and the genetic information as well. I do always love to learn about feathers color genetics. I’ve played with Chicken Calculator a lot as well. I find myself looking at “no image available” constantly when trying to recreate my flock lol. I also have my...

    Would anyone care to guess genetics with me on my backyard flock?

    This is Sweet Pea. She’s the matriarch of the flock. She’s the mother of Bacon and Ranch. This is the father of Bacon and Ranch. Let’s call him Serama Rooster 1. This is Bacon. This is Ranch. Now between Sweet Pea, Bacon, Ranch and this new Serama rooster Mayo… I’ve created all of...

    Would anyone care to guess genetics with me on my backyard flock?

    I’ve got lots of pictures to share about my flock and what genetics might be hidden within. I can’t get a solid finger on many of the hen genetics and I’m hoping to learn from people who know more than me. It may be hard to get a comprehensible family tree in chat form but I’ll do my best. I’ve...

    Chicken face inflates when she breathes!

    I know this is a very old thread but I wanted to add since this is the only related thread I've ever found. My 6 year old OEGB hen has been doing this for the past 4 years that I can remember. I've taken her to the vet and even a bird specialist to no remedy. She seems to have it worst when it's...

    Already lost. Confused and concerned.

    Super late update: yes it was Marick's. I lost one of his only two sons the exact same way a few months later (it was heart wrenching). The Olandsk Dwarf breed seems (to me) to be more susceptible to it. My only guess is because of them being foreign to the US on top of them being brought back...

    Already lost. Confused and concerned.

    One of my Olandsk Dwarf roos of about five months old suddenly stopped walking around the coop and just sitting on his haunches. I took him out immediately and noticed he seemed dazed and dizzy. I've seen that type of behavior in chickens who have been bullied out of there fair shar of food and...

    The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

    Wow. I thought it only applied to the shape of the feathers. It’s the coloring too?

    The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread
