    Chocolate, Lavender, Ermine Breeding Chart Help

    Hi! Yes I'm pretty familiar with chocolate as I breed chocolate Silkies. Not familiar with how that would interact with lavender though. I think I have all my chocolate entries in my chart put in correctly but if you see something off let me know. My head was starting to swim about half way...

    Bielefelder thread!!!!

    I breed Bielefelders and those are all definitely pullets. Some of my pullets feather in redder than others. I even have one out there now that is more buff on her chest than red.

    Bielefelder "Mothers"?

    I had a Biel hen go broody so I gave her some 2 day old chicks. Probably the best mother I've had in a while....... and I have Silkies.

    Off-color Bielefelder??

    I've had several pullets of this type coloring hatch from my small flock this year. I am selling them instead of keeping for my breeding program since the coloring is undesirable.

    Silkie Advice

    Yes, my Silkie roos crow more than my larger breed roosters. It's seems louder to me but I think it's because it's more shrill. The big boys have deeper tones. 😃

    Cause of shredded like feathers???

    I'll check on the feed. To be honest I'm very suspicious of a deficiency, although I'm sure she feeds a high quality feed. She's very mindful of her animals nutrition/health which is why this is so distressing to her. I know they get kale, chard and other veggies for treats sometimes.
