    🐣🐥Black Copper Marans and Whiting True Blues. Lots of videos🎥

    Nice earthy tones today. Waiting for the the first eggs from the 17 wk old pullets. I’ve got 2 black copper Marans pullets, 1 easter egger, and 1 olive egger. My luck went south and I didn’t get a black copper marans rooster this last hatch. @wrathsfarm are you able to ship eggs this way?

    International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

    Here's a pic of one of my 15wk old olive egger cockerels. He's out of a black copper marans hen crossed with a whiting true blue rooster. I thought y'all would like to see the inheritance of the marans. There's 3 cockerels and they look basically the same. You can see there is ever so slight...

    THE KORAHMA GIANT PROJECT - NEW CHICKEN BREED TO BE DEVELOPED

    You are absolutely correct to call me out on that. My apologies. That statement was a significant error on my part. Let me correct that. Cochins have a single comb. The gene for a single comb is recessive (p). Brahmas have a pea comb. The gene for a pea comb is dominant (P). Therefore, in...

    THE KORAHMA GIANT PROJECT - NEW CHICKEN BREED TO BE DEVELOPED

    yes, i asked gemini to take your plan and add jersey giant. It can definitely make mistakes. I asked "why do you say pea comb and feathered legs are recessive?" and it came up with: That's an excellent question that gets to the heart of Mendelian genetics. My previous response stated that...

    THE KORAHMA GIANT PROJECT - NEW CHICKEN BREED TO BE DEVELOPED

    Revised Breed Plan: The Korahma Giant (Brahma × Cochin × Jersey Giant) Rationale for Adding Jersey Giants Increased Size: Jersey Giants are even larger than Brahmas and Cochins in some cases, with roosters averaging 13-15 lbs. This genetic input can help the Korahma Giant achieve the...

    THE KORAHMA GIANT PROJECT - NEW CHICKEN BREED TO BE DEVELOPED

    good luck. do you have the foundation birds already? I'm curious how you will be able to reach that large size. I would think the f1 will show mid-parent values and the size of the brahma will be reduced. Maybe the f2s will have some outliers that will be closer to Brahma size. what AI did you...

    International Black Copper Marans Thread - Breeding to the SOP

    What do you think about bloody eggs like this? These 3 all came from the same hen. Sometimes it’s worse and the egg white is red. Is this something that can be cured or should I cull her from the breeding flock?

    🐣🐥Black Copper Marans and Whiting True Blues. Lots of videos🎥

    The chicks are now about 8 weeks. They segregate into 2 small flocks with their brood mates. I think there’s 15 of them running around. There’s 6 or 7 olive egger cockerels that look very similar black, pea comb. Like this guy: There’s 2 olive egger pullets that are barred and look almost...

    Why aren’t Whiting True Blues more popular?

    They’re mainly leghorns with blue egg genes. Tom Whiting didn’t start this breed, he was given it to him from a friend that crossed production leghorns with ameraucana or Easter eggers from Ideal Hatchery in TX. Whiting continued the line selecting for blue eggs and would backcross the line...
