Is there a chart out there showing the color patterns/breeding outcomes? I'm wondering if some patterns breed true or if different color crosses produce odd patterns. My pen consists of MF, BMF, Porcelain, BM, W & GN...they're all penned together. My roos are MF, GN & BM. My Golden Neck is...
I amooking to buy some peafowl, any color. I would prefer young birds & I'm particularly interested in peahens as I already have a 9 month old male. I live in WV & am willing to travel some distance (OH, KY), or may also be interested in having them shipped depending on the cost.
I have 2 peacocks around 4-5 months old, they've been in this new enclosure about 2 weeks now, it's never housed anything other than a dog before & years ago. They've always been completely healthy & I raised them from day olds.
My india blue male has lost motor function in his legs/wings all...
I've been wanting this breed forever & I finally got some hatching eggs, then...viola! Here they are!
Anyways, from what I've read they are an auto sexing breed. However, it seems there's a lil variances in the genetics making it not as simple as I thought. So hopefully someone with experience...

Hey! Several months ago I posted pics of my peachicks asking about their color/gender. I can't believe how much they've grown already, they actually look like mini peacocks now lol. Anyways, do y'all still feel I have an India Blue male (LOTS of barring)? He's split to white of course due to his...
I got 3 of these with my "rare breed assortment" from ideal poultry. He seems like he stands kind of tall, he is dark red with a yellowish chest, red skinned legs & brown feathers coming in with a little bit of black. Thanks!
What would it take to create naked neck d'Uccles? Bantam turkens crossed or showgirls? I'm new to the genetics of them both so any info is appreciated. Which genes of both breeds are dominant/recessive? I found some mottled naked neck turkens & wondered if they would be a good choice in...

I'm very new to Cochins, any idea what color these are? I ordered 15. I'm sure theres partridge & buff but the rest I'm not sure about. The whiter looking chick has a bluish tint but there are other chicks with more obvious blue so I'm not sure if they're 2 different colors (the more blue aren't...
I ordered 10 of these. Looks like I got 4 verities. Here they are, any guesses?
Has 5 toes & feathered legs
Also has 5 toes & feathered legs
Got 3 of these
One of these
Then 4 of these, I think they're all the same. A couple have faint chipmunk stripes while some have slight face patterning
Do the d'Uccle colors breed true or do they not? I'm new to them & just starting out. For example, if you breed a golden neck to a porcelain, will you get colors of each or some odd color cross? I'm guessing they don't breed true to color...I have a golden neck & Mille Fleur roo with porcelain...
I have a black Ameracauna rooster (split to lavender) that came from very dark olive eggs. I also have some BCM & Cuckoo Maran pullets, the BCM lay very dark rich colored eggs with the cuckoos a medium brown. What color eggs would their offspring produce? Here's my young cockerel:
I still haven't noticed any coloring to its wings yet & it's around 6 weeks old. The breeder said he hatched 3 more just like it from his IB/BS pair, he still thinks they're all BS but it literally has no tinted feathers. The IB chick I have is from the same pairing.
It's about a month old, was hatched around June 5. I took a pic with & without the flash, it has a lot of barring but I can't remember if they all do with it fading on the hens. Thanks!
The title says it all, I've had my chickens in this coup for months & thought it was predator proof. Apparently my 4-5 month old was laying on the wire mesh flooring last night & a coon literally ripped it's entire leg off, I just feel terrible. It eats, it drinks, it hobbles around good. But is...
