    Anybody have any pics of chocolate or dun colored chickens,dun sumatra

    Tony, Since it's spring (nearly) I thought I'd bump up this thread to see how last summers hatches went from your brown hens? These last photo's look absolutely Blue to me. The rooster has a bit of red leakage. I've had Araucana's that color. Did you mate that hen and rooster? I would...

    Anybody have any pics of chocolate or dun colored chickens,dun sumatra

    That's great, exactly what I think should be done by anyone who is serious about a breed and breeding to improve and especially helpful to anyone learning. Is it set up so that anyone can use your database?

    Anybody have any pics of chocolate or dun colored chickens,dun sumatra

    I guess what is most confusing is seeing photo's and no information. Since chickens are not registered like horses, most (there are probably some breeders who keep very good records) don't have any sort of pedigree to study. I'm not sure I like that. The chicken genetics are so much more...

    I'm planning to sell the little cockerel I posted here. He's 3 months old now and his weight is 7.5 ounces. He's mostly feathered out so I'm giving him more time to mature before I'd ship him and I may keep him this summer to test breed him back to the hen he's out of. If he's chocolate, he...

    Now that "looks" like I would expect chocolate to look. I wonder if mine are dun then since the pullet is so light colored. I'm still trying to figure out the young rooster, he looks like a flat black with some brown tones here and there but he looks black. Can he "be" black if his down was...

    It would really be helpful to see all of the colors so I could learn how to tell the difference. I'd like to see a khaki, dun, chocolate, any of them.

    Here is her hatch mate, a young cockerel that looked like what I've found in chocolate chick down photo's In chick down As he began feathering out, he looks black but his chick down was not right for a black chick. He does have some brown tones now but also some green sheen to a couple tail...

    I'm still trying to find a single khaki or dun Serama so I'd know what I'm looking at. The weird thing is that one of my rooster chicks was the typical down color for chocolate but he is feathering out looking black and another (a pullet) is feathering out the palest tan and no one seems to...

    Can you tell Chocolate from Dun when they are grown? I have Serama's from Jerry and I am getting brown colored chicks but I don't know if they are dun or chocolate and I can't seem to find anyone who can tell me or show me photo's to tell the difference. I have a young rooster that was a...
