    Chicken Breed Focus - Erminette

    Not quite. Just as BBS Langshan have a predictable breeding pattern, so too Erminette have a coloration genetics that are predictable. Breed a black hen to a white rooster and you get all Ermine color with spots, and so forth E = Ermine, B= black, W=white. E + E = W B E E, best for a...

    Anyone have experience with Sandhill Golden Erminettes?

    Most of my orginal stock came from Sand hill: black and white. But over the years, occasionally a hint of gold shows up, which I would cull. But two years ago, a gorgous Caramel/White rooster with splashes of black showed up, with a matching hen. Too pretty to cull, so now I breed two...

    Chicken Breed Focus - Erminette

    Erminette come in Black, White, and spotted. For maximum spotted chicks, one breeds a black to a white. You really do need to keep a black rooster around to keep the line functional. For other outcomes, the breeding works like this: with B - black, W - White, and E - the spotted ones. E +...

    White Chickens Have Me Stumped on Breed & Sex.
