    Splash Ameraucana roo x Starlight Green Egger hen

    One last response I missed your question on Kitty. I'd call it a nice splash...black diluter in both genes. The color you call bleed through on the wings is the common male red wing barring. I've not got the genetics of that down but it must be sex linked as it is a male coloring pattern. If...

    Splash Ameraucana roo x Starlight Green Egger hen

    ...pea combed. Pea combs have the smaller wattles too. If Kitty is Pprrr you'll get 50% pea and 50% single. I'd have to look up leg color genetics. I *think* yellow is dominant over slate, or produces green...usually first gen Easter Eggers bred with an Ameraucana parent on one side present...

    Splash Ameraucana roo x Starlight Green Egger hen

    Honey looks buff to me. Blue chicks both sexes with this pairing first generation. Breed those females back to splash dad and you'll get 50% splash and 50% blue both sexes. This first gen pairing will produce 50% two blue shell gene daughters and 50% single blue shell gene daughters. All as...

    Splash Ameraucana roo x Starlight Green Egger hen

    Honey lays, if I understand correctly green. She has at least one blue shell gene then to create the blue of the actual shell (literally bile thrown into the calcite gland to create blue shell ). Since her outside shell color is medium green, she carries some of the 13 odd genes that create...

    Dog Pooping on Floor at Night

    Not the ZD. But I checked and it's still vet rx. I agree get meat as first ingredient and no corn.

    Nest found now what?

    Risky. Put your 2 new chickens somewhere else...into the main flock if ready. Trying to put momma and newly hatched babes in with some new chickens might disrupt things with momma still on eggs at a crucial moment. Chances are the eggs that hatched are all that is going to hatch. Momma will sit...

    Nest found now what?

    Yes. Most likely she'll hop down, chirp at babes, babes will tumble after....then follow to coop. It may be a bit trying on mom until they all follow as there's always one last scaredy cat. She might lose a few. It's your tolerance level to let things be or intervene. Her location makes...

    Nest found now what?

    Oh bless her little heart...and I mean that in the Southern way. The little stinker of course picked an impossible place. Well, my old farm girl attitude is...she chose it, she can deal with it. She'll get down and the babes will tumble after her. It may be total chaos at that point...or not...

    What would the results of a Cream Legbar rooster over Hy Line brown hens look like?

    If cream legbar pure, you will have all green egg laying daughters and roos that carry 1 blue gene. The blue shell gene presents with blue shell while the brown genetics act as a wash over the blue to present as green. Typically light to medium green depending on the depth of brown in the hybrid...

    Dog Pooping on Floor at Night

    Aw. She looks like a lab or lab mix. We raised lots of labs in the program over our 10 years with it. Yes. I think your feeding schedule and food choice is likely driving this. Pooping 5 to 6 times a day is extremely excessive especially at her age. Watch corn content which is a common issue...

    Dog Pooping on Floor at Night

    I can tell you what we did as guide dog puppy raisers as the program was keen to make sure guides were faithful in this department. Typically if these steps are missed bad habits form which are hard to break Feeding time is number one. When do you feed her. That has a lot to do with timing of...

    A tale of two hatches

    Or you pay $5 to $6 per egg for breeder quality eggs, and you get a poor hatching because your "faithful" broody quit 2 weeks into it leaving them stone cold for a day, killing embryos, because of course that is the one day you had to be gone all day. Then, unbeknownst to you, a hen from the...

    Could I get a Leghorn hen that hatches eggs through a specific cross?

    Just to help you out with terminology...what you mean to say is will they go broody. Hatching is what chicks do when they come out of the shell. Brooding is what the hen does when she sits on eggs to develop them so they can hatch. But I got what you meant. Edit to add. It is possible to have...

    Broody or Bust: Can You Handle a Sitting Hen?

    Broody Bossy. Lol. I've corrected some of the Quiz errors, after broody hatching for 15 years (in good fun 😊) 1 B...and don't forget the knuckle pecking when you come near and the zen stare. 2 B...without the gloves...take from her tail end distract with other hand. I can never find gloves and...

    Could I get a Leghorn hen that hatches eggs through a specific cross?

    I started with feed store breeds and hybrids. I also got breeder quality eggs. With those I introduced Marans, which do go broody quite often. I found that the first cross (in particular Red Sex Link with Marans) did provide some broodies. Interestingly, I find that chicks hatched by a broody...

    Abundance of flies - how do they affect chicken health if larvae is ingested

    Oh honey, chickens have been eating flies and fly larvae since the first egg was laid. It's a natural part of their diet providing beneficial protein. Let them help keep the flies down, but yes, do your part as fly strike is a real issue on wounds and dirty vents. LofMc

    Is this a slipped tendon?

    Could be if it was normal before. Does the hock seem out of joint? Is it sloppy when you move it? Sometimes you can slip it back in but they just tend to slip out again. If not, it might be vitamin b or e deficiency which if you've had on amprolium based feed could cause vitamin deficiency...

    What would I get from this pairing?

    I should correct that a recessive white over a black bird would only be black as it takes 2 recessive genes. And as to the beard, my experience is that generally passes to the first generation as well, but drops off in 2nd beyond unless you line breed back. Going back to your how fast will it...

    BCM or "Egger" cockerel?

    Nothing socializes a young teen rooster better than a flock of matrons to keep him in line. I broody raise my chicks, and momma introduces them to the flock, protects them until they are fledged. Then when the boys come of age, it is soooo funny to watch the matrons tell them where they can...

    What would I get from this pairing?

    I'm sorry no Silkie breeders have responded to your questions. I have had a few Silkies, and have seen mixes, and I can only relate what I've observed. I also have foot feathered Marans and crested Cream Legbars that I've observed in my own mixes. My experiences.... Silkies (according to my...
