    Duckling Breed Guesses

    I ordered the "mix ducklings" from Metzer farms, and am curious if people have any idea of what breeds I got. I know none are crested. From their website "Mix ducklings are whatever we have available after all specific breeds are shipped. It is our choice of breeds. It is impossible to know...

    Pattern Genetics

    I have found quite a few threads on color genetics, which colors interact with each other, which are dominant and recessive, etc. I can't seem to find any threads on pattern genetics. Such as which is dominant and recessive between barred, spangled, laced, etc. For example if I bred a mottled...

    Hatched at 17 days??

    A few weeks ago I started collecting eggs to put in the incubator. They sat on my kitchen counter in a basket for a few days, depending on when they were collected. I do free range my chickens, so it's also possible they sat in a nest outside for a day or two before being collected, although I...

    Barred?? Mix Breed Chick AKA What Color Will It Be

    I hatched this chick Nov 26 so he/she is 3 weeks old now. At hatch it was a normal chipmunk looking chick. It's the chick in the background on the left, and the one in the picture on the right. At 3 weeks old it looks to my very untrained eye like it might be barred? Any idea what...

    I have two Roosters in a 35x35 pen, Jubi and Muttly. Muttly is almost 6 months old, Jubi is 7 months. Muttly has been the dominant one up until recently, but there has been some posturing and yesterday I went out to discover them in the middle of a fight, with Jubi kicking the crap out of...

    Runner x Welsh Harlequin - Color and Fertility Questions

    I purchased a bunch of Indian Runners for eggs and herding. Have found them to be good for herding, but a little more flighty/reactive than I would like overall. I lost half my drakes in a coyote attack so I need to build up my flock again, I'd like to have 15-20 drakes. I was talking to...

    Runners Free Ranging - Not

    I have 17 Runners, about 5 months old. When I'm not around they have a large pen with a pond, food/water, shade, a large duck (dog) house, etc. When I am around I turn them loose to free range. If given a choice though, they don't/won't. When I go to let them out I use my dog to get them...

    Any idea what breed(s) he is?

    I was sold this chick by a breeder as a BLRW. Which he obviously isn't. Any idea what he might be? The breeder in question has a bunch of different breeds, but it's also possible he was hatched from eggs she purchased elsewhere, at different times I was told he was from her own breeding, then...
