I have a lavender cuckoo roo over solid lavender hen. I'm getting both cuckoo and solids which tells me he is single barred. This makes it hard to sell young chicks bc I'm not sure until they feather out if they are cuckoo or solid. I'm not going to continue with this breeding bc of this...
Does anyone have pictures of this cross? I'm curious what it looks like. I have a random but beautiful self blue oegb and I have 2 serama pens and I was curious about tossing her in with them since I don't have a place for her and she was given to me. So if you have pictures of this cross I...
Ok I have white French marans, I added Easter eggers into the pen so I could get olive eggers. I have just hatched out my second batch. I expected to get all dark chicks, when I have ended up with both black chicks and yellow chicks, yay for variety. From the first batch of 5 which are 3wks...
Ok I hatched out some olive eggers recently. What can be done with the olive egger roosters that are sure to result from this batch? If bred to an olive egger hen will they continue to produce olive egger offspring? So would it make sense to offer for free with a pullet? I don't want to give...
So I have several different colors and a few different breeds. My eggs are all marked so I know what they are. But after they hatch they start moving about the incubator with the others. Is there a way to mark them or separate them within the incubator so they dont mix up? I know mini leg...
What would I get by putting a lavender cuckoo Orpington roo over a solid chocolate Orpington hen
I've read a bunch here as well as other websites after googling it.
I think I understand :
Barred roo/solid hen will give
Barred males, barred females, and solid males females. Correct? Or no...
I have lavender Easter eggers and lavender orpingtons. Need more pullets/ hens for both of those. Also open to other chicken breeds in lavender. I'm located in southern Ca so looking for local birds that I can travel to pick up. Have anything? Let me know here or pm if that works better...
Easter egger pullet with stringy tissue and slight bloody discharge around vent. She has not yet laid yet, been waiting on her to bc her sister started a few weeks ago. Anyways she has been acting normal until today I noticed she was spending the whole day in the nest box, sort of on her side...
So I have an Orpington pullet that's mottled but with hardly any mottling she's 3 months. Will she get more mottling after her first molt or should she already be showing a decent amount of mottling?
Also I have another pullet also 3 months who has a ton of mottling. However some of her...
Ok what would i get if I bred a lavender Orpington roo with a lavender cuckoo Orpington hen?
Also what would I get if I bred lavender cuckoo orp to lavender cuckoo orp?
I know all would be lavender. But what would cuckoo results be for each paring and also any sexlinking with these?
Thanks!!!
So I've been doing some reading on wing sexing and it seems only certian breeds does this work with. My question is would orphingtons fall into the category of breeds it works on? Also would it be fair to say when looking at 2 chicks from same hatch, that if a major difference is observed that...
My very sweet blue orphington roo is 4.5 months old and I was wondering would he be considered blue laced bc of the markings on his breast?
Also my 5 month old orphington girl who's waddle and comb just darkened up in the past 3 days(yay close to egg time hopefully) would she be considered a...
What would I get? Could I get Easter eggers? Or would I need to breed ee with ee to do that? My kids love the colored eggs so want to hatch some of our own this time and keep them. But only roosters I have are buff silky and blue Orpington. Thanks
