Thank you for your reply. I feel that this will be very beneficial to others. The point of breeding (as I understand it) is to improve one's stock and in order to do that; one has to evaluate the offspring. It's rather difficult to do so without some point of photographic reference in terms...
Thanks for the link. :) That's a very nice collection of the various colors for reference. I've bookmarked it. However; what I was looking for is a timeline of the same bird/s at various ages up to maturity. I should have been more specific in my initial request. Basically, what I wanted to...
Hatched today~Silver Pied aka "Pie".
Does anyone know of a good pictoral reference for how the coloration matures on the Silver Pied? I've searched Google without any luck. I would love to see photos from chick to adult. This is the sire (Sterling) who was purchased as a yearling. He is...

...that incident on permanent legal record as situations can quickly degrade.
Laws vary from state to state. However; since you have lost livestock *more than likely* you would be given the option to either:
1. issue your neighbor a warning
OR
2. press charges and have them fined...

All that I'm doing here is sharing a photo. We don't breed our chickens. I don't free range. My birds are in a 5' enclosed chain link area with aviary netting. I didn't ask for an evaluation. Posts like yours are the reason that I lurk. If you are unhappy with the breeding--then I...
It's not for an outside party to decide what is *valuable* in someone else's breeding program. Carriers (or in this species splits) are generally used to maintain size and conformation without getting too genetically "strung out". When one starts breeding mutations recklessly--genetically...
I sent a PM last evening, so hopefully this is OK to post. I'm a bit late joining here but currently have 6 shipped in Sizzle Eggs (2 possible Showgirl Sizzle) on day 17 of incubation. Additional information/photos on my blog.
Wishing a successful hatch to all!

WANTED: 6--Bantam Buff Frizzle Hatching Eggs. I understand that I am taking a chance on the offspring being Regular or Frizzled. I've put up a random price above but would be open to various pricing. I have hatched shipped in eggs in 2014 with a 50-80% success rate (different sellers) and...
Could someone please post photos of a Mature Silver Pied beside a Mature India Blue pied? (Thanks so much.) I've been reading at various sources and also checked Google images and there seems to be little consistency as to ID.
I hatched a Male (DNA Sexed) Silver Pied here in our home...
