Again, reviving an old thread.
To get Isabella coloring, without having it to start with...
1) Does it have to be the roo that is lavender? Or would it work as well with lavender hens under something like a brown-red Ameraucana roo if one were wanting to create Isabella coloring in...
Okay! Time to revamp this thread, lol. I have a couple of questions, if any of you still exist on this forum.
1) I had a pen of black, white, and buff bantam Cochin hens and a white Silkie hen. The roo was a white bantam Cochin.
I got:
a) White chick that grew into what looks like a bantam...
Thanks! Been pretty busy :) I think she is a mix. The lady I got her from tried to tell me she was a Marans...She had no clue what birds she had. Anyway, I took her for egg laying, but I have a few of her progeny. They are darker than her and are laying some nice eggs.
Hmm...perhaps part. It's...
Hi all! I haven't read through all the posts, no time right now. I just have a question.
I bought 3 Cayuga ducklings at TSC this year and wondered, do they have different voices like Pekins? Do the males have a whispery quack? If so, I think I got all three females, lol.
Not sure why Multi isn't working...
Sure, add me to the club. Does anyone have any ideas about why my ducks have such low fertility? What does everyone's pool/pond set up look like?
Hi all! I just found this thread. I have 3 Pekin ducks that I bought at TSC last February. I was lucky and got two hens and a drake! The hens are laying and the drake mates them, but they won't get in their pool anymore. They were using it up until 2 months ago and now I don't know why they...
Awesome, thanks! I tried using the calculator and it kept telling me I'd get all black offspring. But, I don't know how to do all the settings, so who knows, lol. I was just curious anyway, since I don't have any black. No, I didn't check the Marans thread, I don't have any Marans those colors...
Sorry, just glimpsed the Neosporin thing and had to pipe up. Neosporin IS a brand name triple antibiotic. It contains Neomycin, Polymyxin B, and Bacitracin. Neomycin may be what you're thinking of, Verna.
Hi all!
Shot in the dark here...Anyone know what the results of breeding a chocolate to a lavender would be? I'm still s-l-o-w-l-y learning genetics so take it easy on me, lol. I can find clear answers on B/B/S and C/B, but nothing so easy for other color combinations. Lavender is a self-blue...
So, I have a Marans rooster that I am fairly certain is a Wheaten Marans. The lady we got him from said he was a Marans (he is), but didn't know what color he was. The hens she was selling with him were Black Coppers Marans and some other color/build that definitely weren't Marans like she...
Oh my, where to start! Welcome to the new comers!
Hawkeye, glad your girl is doing better. We've had a few that came down with similar symptoms this winter. That VetRX is great stuff!
I counted my birds today... I have way more than I thought I did! 100 on the nose. Plus I have a trio of...
Maybe this question was asked, but I can't read through all these pages!!! I have 6 BLRW and they are all PULLETS! I also have 6 GLW of which a couple are cockerels. Can I put a GLW rooster over a BLRW hen and still get BLRW? Will this help strengthen the blue and red to keep the offspring...
Hi all, I haven't been on for a long time; 3000 posts worth! Not even gonna try to catch up.
So is everyone looking forward to spring? I know I am.
My 1 year old EE's FINALLY decided to start laying. Sheesh, it took them forever; I thought they were never gonna start!
I got my first batch of...
I have discovered FF is CRACK!!! Pure, unadulterated, chicken crack! My chicks go absolutely nuts for it and will even swarm if it looks like I might be bringing them more. I know they're not starving, but my goodness! They are like little piranhas!
I may have missed it somewhere, since I had to skip ahead. BUT, I think I shall do an experiment! The next batch of meaties (CX's) I get, I am going to buy the a bag of each feed for each group. I will ferment one group's and not the others. Then, I will share my findings with you all here :)...
I started feeding fermented to my chicks last night. They DEVOURED the amount I gave them, so I gave them more. They devoured that as well. An hour later they were cheeping as if they were starving, so I gave them more. Now they are finally content for 18 chicks who would normally consume a...
