    breeding for a rhodebar chicken

    If I cross a RIR roo with a Barred Rock hen, will this give me a Rhodebar, or is there another step to creating these birds ? I've read all sorts of info and everyone has a different idea. Just am wondering if anybody on here has ever tried breeding for a Rhodebar? Thanks !!

    sex-link chicks

    I used a Blue Laced Red Wyandotte rooster over Rhode Island Red hens. Would the chicks be considered sex-linked or not. I've been reading on this subject, and till I get done I'm totally confused !! I also have a Rhode Island red roo over SLW. This will for sure make a sex-link -- right...

    beak problems

    I have a 6 wk. old silkie chick and her entire beak is sitting on her face crooked. It's not crossed or scissored -- just crooked on her face. Is this genetic problem ? I do not want to use her for breeding stock if it is genetics. Any silkie fans have advice ? thanks in advance !!

    gold laced wyandotte comb

    I have a gold laced wyandotte with a single comb. Does this disqualify her for good breeding stock ? I didn't think wyandottes are to have single combs, or do I stand to be wrong on that ? Thanks for any info !

    need help identifying this chick

    Any body good at guessing what this chick is ? She is 4 wks. old and has me stumped. She appears to be rumpless, and is also tufted. She hatched out of a very pale blue egg. My guess is that she is a mix but not sure ! It's the chick in the foreground.

    pipped chick not hatching

    One of my eggs finally pipped last eve. around 9:00, it has been 12 hrs. and hasn't made any progress. How long can a chick live inside its shell? Should I help it or not ?

    Can some one tell me if these silver laced pullets will eventually look like a true silver laced or will they always look mottled. They are 8 wks. old. They do not have true lacing in my mind, but maybe it's a teenager thing ?? Thanks !
