    red duckwing x silver columbian

    I’m looking into crossing a Bielefelder (black patterned red duckwing barred) over a Delaware (black patterned silver Columbian barred). Does any have any pics of a red duckwing over a columbian to give me an idea of why they’d look like? Any info is appreciated on this, or similar, cross. Thanks!

    Does anyone know, or have an educated idea, on what Hoover Hatchery’s Rudd Ranger’s genetics are?

    Hoover Hatchery Naked Necks (Turkens)

    Are Naked Necks (Turkens) from Hoover Hatchery pure? Or do they mix them with other breeds and, given that the naked neck genes are dominant, just call the Naked Necks?

    Blue Stars?

    I was told these are Blue Rock. Looking further, it seems that they are the result from crossing Barred Plymouth Rocks and Blue Andalusians. Looking at these pics, one has a white ear; the other does not. Are these Blue Rocks? Is only one a Blue Rock? If so, what could the other one be? Their...

    Barred Splash

    I have two Blue Cuckoo Marans. With both being blue and barred, I know they’ll produce some barred splash. Does anyone know what the barring looks like on a splash?

    Blue patterned Red (Incomplete) Colombian

    I was looking into crossing a Blue Cuckoo Marans with a RIR, then crossing the rooster Barred male offspring back to a RIR. The calculator says I'd get a Blue patterned Red (Incomplete) Colombian. What do these look like?

    Fine versus Coarse Meat

    I’ve heard that, for example, Dorkings and Bresse have fine meat, while Cornish and Jersey Giants have coarse meat. I have only eaten store bought chicken and self-slaughtered Buff Orpingtons. Can someone explain the texture (and if applicable the taste) differences between Coarse and fine meat...

    Creating a Dual-Purpose

    Has anyone experimented with creating your own Dual Purpose? Maybe crossing a Cornish with a Leghorn? Or something along the lines of a good meat bird with a good layer?

    Penedesenca?

    I was told that this is a Penedesenca, but I haven’t seen any that look like her. I was thinking that she could be a Silver Partridg Penedesenca. What do you all think?

    Jersey Giant Genetics

    With the WJGs, I understand that they’re their recessive white, which hides the black coloring. So, in regards to the black JGs, are they E/E extended black or, as Kippenjungle’s calculator shows, e+/e+ Duckwing?

    Recessive White

    I understand that for recessive whites to breed true, both parents must carry the gene (the Offspring needs two recessives to be Uni-white). For this example, we‘ll use a White Dorking and a Red Dorking. If we breed those two together, the offspring won’t be white because it‘ll only possess one...

    Creating Meat hybrids

    Is there a reason that crossing breeds to create a meat bird, the Cornish roosters are over another, say Dorking, Hen? As opposed to a Dorking roo over a Cornish Hen?

    Sealed Coop Floor / No Shavings

    Pros & Cons of this idea: I was thinking of designing my Chicken House on a slightly sloped floor with a screened drainage hole. The floor will be sealed with a few coats of an exterior marine spar varnish (like what’s used on boats). Each day, I. An open the door, rinse it out with a water hose...

    Genomes

    I’ve been looking into the breeding of different breeds and am trying to locate the genomes of several breeds: Coronation Sussex, Red Dorking, Black Tailed Buff Marans, Black Cooper Marans, and the Scots Dumpy. I’ve looked at the calculator, but I don’t understand what sequences to input. These...

    White Genetic

    Does White breed true? Or is White part of the Black genes?

    Feather-legged versus Clean-Legged

    I’m curious, take Marans for example, you have the French feather-legged variety and the English Clean-Legged variety. What sells better?

    Temperament Inheritance

    Is temperament inheritance predictable? Example: Breeding an active, flighty Deathlayer with a calm, docile Sussex. Is it completely random? Or is there a formula that can predict which temperament the chicks will inherit?
