No i don't have a pic, i just wander what i can get from what i have now.. The upper one is probably partridge, yes, but i wonder why lower one has brown skin/shanks. Skin colour is more interesting for me than a feathers. Once I had a silkie hen that has green shanks and comb as chick, when she...
In kippenjungle chicken calculator is an option called "Dark brown" and DbDb is described there as "ginger".. So i thought that is a separate gene for it.
That is the previous hatch, chick has a brown down [stripped on back], feathers out to kind of a dark brown, but shanks and beak are dark...
Does Ginger gene "overrides" the dark silky skin colou, is that possible? I would know more about that gene, how does it work in chicken, what it's doing to them.. I have 2 little chicks now, after the hen that is supposed to have that Ginger gene, and white silkie rooster.. they probably have...
I have that young sebright rooster, and i don't know is he heterozygous for henny feathering or not henny feathered at all.. I wanted to mix him with one of my hens in hope for a chicks that are heterozygous for henny feathering, but now i don't know:/ Feathers on neck are too thin, that's...

I have to say I probably have the same look on my face as the little girl in the picture. The dark skin certainly makes it more dinosaur looking, and better than the sunburned red looking white featherless chicken. Are you working on a project for more protein and weight?
omg its...
This is araucana rooster, but some europe lines are different that u.s. he has no tail, pea comb, and beard - like both of his parents, parents are show type and was showed in belgium and czech republic. So I hope for olive eggers ^^
I will try to make picture tomorrow.. They sleep in cage, but at day they are in a pen put on the grass. Feet of all the rest and 2 quails that were with them are normal, soft. This is professional cage with thick wire floor of just right spacing, i don't think the cage is the problem.. Anyway...
I have some chicks [mixed breeds : silkiexnew english game bantam] and one of them- a little hen- has strange skin. On the face and head it's very dry, and peeling like a thin layer of silhouette paper.. on the body skin is quite normal, and on legs, the down side of the feet is like a hard...
I know that this is somewhere in that thread, but 200+ pages.. please answear me : i have an ameraucana rooster [green egg line] - is there any chance to get an olive egger from that cross? I could cross him with a]marans b]rhode island c] maybe welsummer. Does anyone have pics of eggs from...

Like with all others animal feed - bacon grease is ok as long as it's not salty.. So salty greace once in a long while, and in small amount - cooould be ok, but as a daily routine - no.
VillageChicken: I would take the darker one. He looks healthy and fine.
The dark spot in the eye of the lighter one is a sign of a some kind of injury in body. Is everything o.k. with the beak of the lighter one? In that portrait photo it looks damaged..
