    How to breed wheaton/blue wheatons??

    I have 2 wheaten hens and a Splash rooster. Will their offspring be blue wheaten? I also have a Blue Marans chick that's 2 weeks old looks like a roostersince he's already got a red comb. Would the Blue work better than Splash?

    The Olive-Egger thread!

    My Americaunas took 6 months while the Marans took 7 months to lay. I bought the Americaunas chicks while the Marans were hatching and put them in the brooder together. Crooss between the two should be 6 to 7 months to get eggs.

    I don't quite understand the e+ or eWH. The fellow I got the hens from had an Americauna rooster and some of those chicks are probably from his rooster.
