    Hidden genetics?

    So I've just hatched a few silkies and satins from my blue/splash pen- I'm getting blue and splash but 1-2 of the chicks have a brownish tint almost like a mauve? Both parents don't show chocolate or mauve (At least not to me), they're just look blue and splash. I can ask, and will- The blue roo...

    Can I and how would I do it?

    I created something, not sure how. He's definitely splash but his spots look almost mauve/chocolate. Before coming hereI was told it may be red covering it, as his dad had red? But now I'm being told i should try and make more of his color, but I don't know how. He was a satin/Cochin cross that...

    Am I right?

    **I don't have a vet that takes chickens near me.** I think i have a calico hen with a tumor(cancer) right on her vent. She hasn't laid in like 2 months, and when she did it was like every other week, and it took her a while to actually lay it. I didn't think to check until recently, I think the...

    Can this happen? Because it did.

    Hatching byms from a chocolate rooster and some if my free ranger girls. They're hatching now and the first one out was from a salmon faverolle hen. It's chocolate. (If mauve is possible then it could be that too but I'm not sure what the outcomes are.) The other hen's eggs will hatch out...

    Couple things here.

    So as i mentioned in the title I have a few things I'm wanting to become familiar with. So I've been told already on how breeding chocolate works and how to get mauve with it using blue and splash, but how soon can i get a mauve? From the first crossed offspring's offspring or the offsprings...

    How is this happening?

    So I've been hatching off a satin hen and a paint silkie rooster- The paint satin that's with them always produce black or paint chicks, maybe some white if they're not from the white satin. The white satin however mostly produces these Red pyle looking birds. I'll have to take more pictures of...

    What's happening here?

    I wasn't sure what topic to put this under- But I figured this might be a genetic things from the parents? Okay, I've had slow feathering birds before- but never like this. I've got a white cochin bantam chicks that I hatched a little over 2 months ago- it's the size of a 2 week old chick and...

    I feel terrible.

    I should have played it safe in case of this happening, but I wasn't thinking. A few weeks ago I put some eggs in the incubator from my paint silkie pen, the rooster is a silkie frizzle (Not satin.) At the time, I had a splash frizzle satin pullet in there who I believed hadn't started laying...

    Good or bad idea?

    Some of y'all may remember the whole "Why am i getting non-whites from white cochins?" from that other thread of mine. Welp that first oddball that started it all (The blue frizzle?) was in fact a pullet and has recently started laying. - Now, y'all may remember me bringing up how I wanted to...

    Just a bit curious.

    If you saw my previous thread- I hatched a lone peachick. It'll be 2 weeks old tomorrow. It's two siblings have hatched, one I believe y'all refer to as black shoulder? Hatched from an Indian blue hen's egg. The owner's two cocks are a purple spalding and indian blue. The other two chicks looks...

    Peafowl people, teach me.

    I was given 3 peafowl eggs as bday gift, and boy was I excited, still am. But I was given 1 egg a week before the other 2, and the 1 hatched friday night. I think the little guy has imprinted and I don't think it's eating, just whistles until held or given attention. It isn't alone, It's with 7...

    What happened to "them"?

    I wasn't sure what category to put this thread in- I don't think this is an emergency at all, she's(?) fine. But I had a 3 year old buff orpington (Early 4's presently) who was always a good layer up until late last year, she(?) hasn't laid a single egg or shown interest in nesting/laying- I do...

    Can someone make sense of this?

    So I've just started hatching from my paint satin/silkies and my BBS silkies. My only blue silkie hen that's laying went broody so I decided to let her test fertility before I incubated them myself. - The paint pen contains a Paint frizzle silkie rooster over a Paint satin and a White satin-...

    She's acting strange tonight.

    I've got a dark brahma hen who was fine as if yesterday and even laid an egg yesterday- But tonight I noticed she wasn't perch and found her in acorner on the ground, staying low. With further inspection she's just crawling around and seems to be a little uncoordinated. She wants to perch, but...

    Normal? Possible? Mix?

    I've got 4 call ducklings from my gray call pair, the hen has 7, I haven't seen them yet though. These guys just hatched yesterday. I haven't got any that look like grays yet, is it possible to get an all yellow one from that pair? I have pekins, but I really didn't think he'd get a hold of my...

    Is this normal?

    I had a partridge pair i rehomed a few weeks ago, I decided to hatch the few eggs i had left from the hen and that roo for fun- I didn't hatch from them often, but the times I did were in small portions and the chicks were silver/gold partridge looking, I never got one like this. (That I know...

    Is this normal or is something else happening?

    I have multiple questions, not all being a genetic thing- but all about the same chicks. But I've got 4 chocolate bantam cochins. All the same age and hatched at the same place and in the same time period. But 1 has way more feathering, like completely different. The other 3 only have wings (...

    What do y'all think?

    13 days ago I set an eggs and some others from a friend for fun- she's local to me. (Very.) I candled for the first time 3 days later, eggs were all developing already, but one of the eggs had an air pocket in an odd spot. (The others eggs are all green, this was the only white egg i brought...

    Muscovy eggs.

    Duck people and especially muscovy people, I'm calling upon you. I'm not a duck person- and I've never hatched muscovy eggs. I have just a few eggs on days 11-13 that i just candled. There's definitely something in there but compared to the call duck eggs i have in there (same days), it looks...

    I don't know what to do- I've never personally dealt with this.

    Egg bound hen, did they egg break? She's not doing well, i don't think I've got another day with her. Can she be saved? 😢. People say vet attention may be necessary, i don't have that option here. I do have her in warm water and Epsom salt.
