    Red Olive Egger Roo, who's your daddy?

    That's who I was suspecting as well. She is the largest of the group, and hung around the BCM a lot. Thanks for the help! Now I need to rotate Fox in with the hens.

    Red Olive Egger Roo, who's your daddy?

    I think these are all the EE hens I had laying at the time. I also have this EE rooster. I think he was separated from the hens at the time but I he might have snuck one in there.

    Red Olive Egger Roo, who's your daddy?

    So he could indeed be the offspring of a BCM? This cockerel came from the same batch and is colored exactly like the BCM. Both have larger body sizes than my EE roo.

    Red Olive Egger Roo, who's your daddy?

    This is Fox. He hatched from an EE egg. At the time, I was breeding a Black Copper Marans over the usual mix of EE's (brown, black, mixed, etc) to make OE's. All the pullets grew up entirely black. I assume the BCM is Fox's sire. Is it possible to get a red roo out of a BCM?

    What breed and gender is this???

    I don't see any saddle feathers. Pretty sure that's a hen. EE Roos tend to be taller looking too.

    Big red rooster

    What color was the egg he came out of?

    Big red rooster

    I don't know if a pure breed that looks like that. With his pink skin, feathered feet, body shape, and blue diluted tail feathers, I'd say he had some blue Marans in him. I'm not sure where is overall red color comes from.

    Who laid this egg??

    I am under the impression that a pink comb (not a bright red) is an indicator that a hen is using nutrients to produce. I could be wrong. That first hen you posted looks like a welsummer. Her egg would be darker though. I think the rock probably laid your egg.

    Isbar or Marans?

    I took a look at greenfires blue birchen Roos. I think my guys body size more closely matches them compared to the isbar. Thanks for the help.

    Isbar or Marans?

    Is feet are very lightly feathered. Blue birchen seems more likely than Isbar.

    Breed is she/he?

    Mixed. Might have some blue Andalusian mix.

    Isbar or Marans?

    Thats a good idea. I've got some of both I can try with. He does have one offspring but it's a rooster. The bread over the splash bantam on the left which resulted in the pretty small guy on the right.

    Isbar or Marans?

    I bought this guy as a chick from a lady under the impression he was a blue Marans. After he feathered out I thought was just an oddly colored copper until I recently came across a picture of someone's Isbar rooster and saw that same light gold color. Is anyone able to tell what exactly he is?

    Breed and sex these please?

    That barring pattern looks more like a dominquer but the straight comb doesn't add up. It's hard to tell from this picture but I don't see any saddle feathers. Those are possibly pullets. You can see the thin saddle feathers developing on this young Doniquer.

    Hiding eggs

    The will also feel lighter and have a flatter (less glossy) finish to them as they loose some color. Within that clutch you should be able to pick out the newer ones. If you still think they're good just open them one at a time and take a good look at them before cooking. Usually the yolk will...

    New Rooster, Blocks Automatic Door

    I would push him in too. Maybe also place him on a perch or somewhere in the coop. Be consistent about it for a few days and he might catch on.

    Help making more EE's that look like this:

    I think I only waited one week when I had them separated before. In retrospect I'm glad I did! So here's the happy family: Now that I see them together it makes sense. I'm going to leave the EE with GLW and the BLW in there and see if we can get more. Theoretically the EE/BLW should end up...

    The only non-Wyandotte Rose combs I have is this splash/Cochin/bantam: Could Hedwig be the EE rooster over a GLW? I was breeding the BLRW (splash) roo over some GLW's to make darker blues around the time Hedwig hatched. Perhaps he had mated one of them recent enough one of the chicks was his...

    I believe he is actually splash not blue. I don't have a recent picture of him. Here he is as a cockerel.
