Did you ever do this cross? I was curious because I have Marans and Bresse and was thinking of doing the same. Did you ever finish out the Marans with the milk? I thought that was a good idea and would love to know what the results were.
Thank you all for the input on the breed! She is a cutie regardless of breed. I don't know anything about the father's egg genetics so it will be fun waiting on an egg if I get so lucky.
Any thoughts on her being a she? I'm leaning that way but I'm pretty new to chickens and I don't entirely...
Hello!
This chick is 6 weeks and hatched out of a "barnyard mix". It had very large muffs (for a chick) when it hatched. It hatched out of a light brown egg. Could this be an easter egger? If not, any ideas what it could be?
Also, what are your opinions on pullet or cockerel?
She...
I know this is old, but I was wondering how your Flex Watt turned out? I'm in the process of planning my build and weighing the pros and cons of different heat sources.
Newbie here trying to learn about chicken breeding (and I'm also interested in the BBS ameraucana)...why don't breeders have breeding pens set up in the colder months?
The solid black one (seconds from right) came from a dark brown egg and the one in the back left with it's head down between the two looking at the camera also came from a brown egg, the rest came from blue eggs.
We are so happy with our chicks!
Here's our little flock! They are very healthy and doing great!
This little gray one below is already my favorite, very sweet natured. From her feathers I'm guessing (and hoping) pullet, but as I understand it feather sexing isn't entirely accurate.
I would love to see a picture. By the way, both dark brown eggs hatched out. One was completely black and the other was really dark with some small patches of white, similar to the other EEs that have hatched. Do you now what they might be?
My chicks are just starting to hatch! One EE out now, it's sort of grayish, and most of the others have pipped. I can hear them chirping from the other room as I type!
