So this is another common question and I wasn't able to find a thread on here about it with some good pictures. Well today I was letting the silkie get some free ranging done and I decided to showcase the difference between my Ideal lavender silkie hen and my breeder cock.
These are just...
So I see people on here all the time asking about how best to breed splash and bbs. Here's my two girls side by side. The darker splash is from a bluexblue and the lighter almost solid color splash is from a splashxsplash. Both are splash and splash birds can any shade in between. Anyway...
So I was wondering why there aren't any feather structure mutations in coturnix quail? (eg frizzle, crest, leg feathers, beard ect) I just can't believe there aren't any after all this time in captivity.
Also is there a good online guide to coturnix colors? I know about the one here on BYC...
I've been working on a longtail line for a couple years now and last year I decided to start a buff barred/lemon cuckoo offshoot. I crossed my barred longtail broodcock with buff wyandotte hen's and boy did I hit it lucky. I hatched out 8 and only 4 were rooster's. I kept the one with the least...
I got eggs from Theriault Farm's last spring to add some feather density to my phoenix lines. I am extremely please with how they turned out. I got a mix of 2 different lines and boy is it apparent All have been extremely nice cocks so far, then again I have never had an aggressive rooster...
This is the third chick I have hatched out like this. The other two are a couple weeks older and have feathered in completely white. Anybody want to guess whats going on? The dad is my crele cock over my white americauna hen (dominant white).
So I got eggs from a guy and I was hoping for white crested chocolate or khaki. He said he had a wc choco cock over khaki hens. Also he didn't say anything about frizzling. The egg was marked wc choco and I sent him a picture of this chick and he said it is a dark chocolate and that frizzling...
So I've hatched well over 70 chicks from my bantam longtail pens this year and I have gotten a broad range of chick colors but these two are the first I have ever had of this color. I was just wondering if any of you had chicks like these and what they turned out to be? Of course I could just...
So I'm thinking I have 6 A&M's, 5 tibetan and 5 cinnamon? This are my first coturnix ever so I'm just guessing from pictures. I can get closer shots if needed I just figured this was a good group shot. What do you all think?
I got some hackle stock eggs from Theiriult Flies and I figured I would show them as they grow up in case somebody was thinking about getting any or just wants to see some chicks They are 6 weeks old. 4 cockerels and 5 pullets. They are as tame as can be. I plan on crossing them into my...
So I just ordered bobbird eggs from stromberg for march and I was able to talk to the breeder who says that they hatch great and they also breed okay producing all sorts of sizes and whatnot in the f2. Just for clarification the bob-birds are a cross between a bobwhite species and coturnix...
I was just wondering if anybody kept these guys and if so what their experience with them was? I've been looking to get some for the past year now but everybody seems to have got out of them or have inbred stock. Of course I haven't got my gazette yet so I'll look in there and hopefully find...
I'm looking for a hen or a pair of silver golden pheasants. I currently have two cocks but my hen died this past winter. I'm located in Wasilla, Alaska so shipping would be necessary. I just received two yellow golden hens and am going to breed them with the silvers to see what comes out. Also...
Heres one of my breeder bantam mottled houdan cocks for this year and if you look close you can see red tipped feathers in his hackle. He also has a few red tipped feather in his crest. He has the most of this color but my other two cocks do have a little. Anyway I was wondering what causes this...
So this is obviously a dreamer thread but if you guys could fix or add 3 things to eggbid what would you do?
I would like:
1. Mandatory feedback (kinda like ebays) where they just keep bugging you
2. A wanted section so people don't have to post wanted ads in the for sale sections.
3. An...
Hello , I just joined but have been reading the posts for a long time. Anyway I have been working on my own line of bantam barred longtails. And after seeing some photos I think I want to start my own line of buff barred/lemon cuckoo. I plan to cross my best barred rooster over wyandotte hens...
