    Seeking Color Genetics Experts/Enthusiasts Opinion

    Thanks for all the input, the more I hear the more I do assume it was one of the three Cubalaya males that could be the daddy especially because one of them does have very subtle, but they're there, Columbian markings. The chicks look very much like the one you have pictured, Illia, even down...

    Seeking Color Genetics Experts/Enthusiasts Opinion

    In the past month my boyfriend and I allowed our Quail d'Anver hen to go broody in our garage behind some bales of alfalfa. She has tried going broody a few times in the past but never found such a private place.. that the bigger hens couldn't kick her out of, lol. We 4 eggs and only 3...

    Chantecler Thread!

    Quote: I don't have any basis to compare to say partridge or white Chanteclers, or Orpingtons but ours have always seem interested in the idea. The one issue is that they all seem to want to brood at the same time, in the same nest even though there is plenty of room. I be that if given the...

    Saxony breed standard?

    On the birds subtle lacing and such - I'm with The Duck ABC's on this one. Living near Mt. Shasta is nice but the sun in right on those birds when they go out and I don't know about you but with more exposure it will fade out some. The Duck ABC's are of excellent quality!! I love their...

    Saxony breed standard?

    First off: yes, the Saxony is in the newest Standard and to my knowledge this is the only place it is. From what I understand Holderread sells standards per individual duck breed but I opted for the APA SOP 2010 Edition. Second, have you visited Holderread's website?? They have some great...

    Does anyone know what breed they are :) ?

    Just my two cents: as a breeder of Saxony's from two SQ lines those "Saxony" ducks in your pictures are much more like Golden Cascades. In pictures one and two the bill color is all wrong for a Saxony but just right for a (I assume young) female Cascade. I assume it is also entirely possible...

    Emden Gosling w/ Wing Issue

    Quote: Thanks, and thanks to you too BirdBrain. Was worried she broke it, but given the fact that she is the largest in her brooder (she's in with two Welsh Harlequins, Cayuga and some 2 month old chicks) it was difficult to figure how she could have done that. Luckily the BF has a horse and...

    Emden Gosling w/ Wing Issue

    Bijoux, our just-about-one-month-old Embden (from a feed store), has been growing quiet nicely. She started putting on all her big-kid feathers but one of her wings is troubling the boyfriend and I. At first we assumed it was just a matter of how her feathers were coming in, but it seems that...

    Feather Pecking in d'Anvers

    Quote: Oh, lol, no no. There are six chicks in the tank and they are all one month old (i.e. three-weeks old); these are bantams too, full grown their about 25 oz. Their feed is a turkey/waterfowl start, so almost 18% protein. The lighter colored [porcelain] d'Anvers are not the primary...

    Feather Pecking in d'Anvers

    This "pecking" post is concerning my 6 d'Anver chicks, which are just about a month old now. The brooder is a 30 gallon stock tank, which I suspect is MORE than enough room for these chicks, and they won't stop pecking!! Three of them have very noticeable pecking, namely the porcelains, and...

    d'anver lovers,discuss the breed and post some pics!

    I realize this board may not be the best place to post this, but has anyone here ever had issues with chicks feather pecking?? The brooder is a 30 gallon stock tank, which I suspect is MORE than enough room for these chicks, who are BARELY a month old. It is just 6 d'Anver chicks and they...

    Cubalaya Thread For Sharing Pics and Discussing Our Birds

    I guess in the vein of "tameness" and free-ranging the Cubalayas: how well can they fly?? I suspect their tail may inhibit some flight, but they seem pretty capable because of their build. I have one Sumatra pullet who is obviously happier when she ranges (she hated the heavy snow we got in...

    "Snowy" Calls

    Another question: about how old would you say the two girls look??

    "Snowy" Calls

    Quote: No mini Appleyards, only Appleyard Calls. All I have in poultry are Call ducks. But hopefully I will have some more coming...the two hens that are laying now were only recently moved into a breeding pen with an Appleyard drake and it took them a while to feel comfortable around him. I...

    "Snowy" Calls

    Thanks for the great news!! My boyfriend and I have been looking for calls for quiet sometime and even though the birds were one of the last lots in the auction (waited almost 3.4 hours) there was no way we were leaving without trying!! I understand Calls aren't the best layers, but do Mini...

    "Snowy" Calls

    Quote: Is it just me, but they sorta remind me of the Green Headed Australian Spotted from the Holderread site: How is it you tell the difference between any of these colors?? Lol, they're adorable but this color thing is much more difficult than I expected. If Mini Silver Appleyards...

    "Snowy" Calls

    Just yesterday I bid for and subsequently won two, female Snowy calls at the Idaho Bird Breeder's Association Spring Auction. I have never seen a Snowy (just Greys, Whites and Bibs), and upon googling and searching breeder/info/breed sites (i.e. Holderread, Feathersite, BYC) I am positive now...

    d'anver lovers,discuss the breed and post some pics!

    Quote: cute pics. Some of the millies do hatch dark and light, as I have both shades in the breeding pen. As for the chipmunked lavender one. That's the columbian pattern showing threw. If it came from an egg labled POR, it will be a porcelain. But all a porcelain is is a lavender mottled...

    d'anver lovers,discuss the breed and post some pics!

    These are all from Boggy Bottoms; figured it'd be fun to show off my chicks too. All hatched on Easter, some the dsay before, but it was fun nonetheless!! Now I know this isn't their permanent color but I have 3 and all are different, namely one spotted one. I assume this is just something...
