Could a Barred Female crossed with a blue Ameraucana create blue offspring?
Only one bantam barred rock in a pen of pure bantam BBS Ameraucanas.. How would that create a blueish chick out of a brown egg?
No not much. The hen I held back is roughly 10 pounds. VERY large. She is bare backed and a very agile chicken unlike her mother. I have her in with my Buckeyes right now. She can roost 4 feet high without a ladder as well. I must get a recent picture as long as no one judges me on her naked...
You could just cull all frazzles. You get the best frizzling by breeding two frizzled together... I'm not doing it.. just been told this is what I should be doing to guarantee frizzles.
My latest obsession lol
I have blues, but not barred. I put the barred hens in my frizzle pen to make some frizzled Silkies :)
The barring is very obvious for the boys. They are full black with white dots on the heads. Always boys
Now at 1 week old the wing feathers are a solid blue! Not barred.. but they have a...
They are shown in the Silkie breed category. They should have the type of a Silkie with the only thing being different the frizzled feathers.
At least that's how the frizzled Silkies are shown. Any breed can have a frizzled counterpart. :)
I don't know how that is possible! It takes 10 pounds of feed to get them to laying age (at least!). Feed is not 15 cents a pound... It's .25 cents a pound here for bulk feed. Plus heating, bedding, time.. and the males that are not sought after on the same scale as the females.
Your best advertisement is photos... If you can take wonderful photos of your birds, you will have no problem making money. I can't keep up. I have orders right up to June this year.
I have a website, facebook farm page and am a moderator of a very frequented chicken group on FB within my...
You should have the best breeder birds you can and sell started birds, hatching eggs or chicks. Eggs for eating hardly covers cost of feed.
I find chicks or hatching eggs the easiest way to make a profit. Why? Because growing out birds costs money, and you need a lot of room. Rarely do people...
She looks like one I've had before that was blue barred. Very, very subtle, but you could really see it in her kids and as a chick.
Here she is (right) She is not a full sizzle of course.. She has some barred rock in her. I have no idea how this happened. I think the father only had one...
