    Breeding back Olive Egger Hens

    I have an Olive Egger hen that was born to a Black Copper Marans x Ameraucana. If I breed her to a BCM the resulting chicks will be 50% Olive Eggers and 50% brown egg layers, correct? Because this olive egger hen only carries one blue egg laying gene and will pass it on approx 50% of the time...

    Cuckoo Maline x CCLB offspring

    Belgian Malines are a cuckoo breed. Not technically autosexing but people with the breed can generally tell male from female at hatch because males have two cuckoo genes which makes them lighter in color than the females that only carry one. if you crossed a Maline on a Created Cream Legbar...

    Splash Ameraucana x Bielefelder Color Genetics

    I have been looking for local Bielefelder eggs with no success. I finally found a Breeder that has a group of Bielefelder hens with two Bielefelder roosters the issue is she also has a Splash Ameraucana that has been in that pen. I’m trying to figure out how easily I would be able to pick out...

    Blue Ameraucana Cockerel ... I think.

    11 weeks (+2 days) and just when I am 100% sure he is a cockerel I second guess myself. I could bring him to his new home tomorrow as a friend is looking for a blue Ameraucana rooster but I just haven’t let go of that nagging doubt he could still be a she. This is my favourite bird so I think I...

    Identifying Chocolate vs Black Chicks

    Does anyone have reference photos for black vs chocolate chicks? I have chicks that appear chocolate (out of a chocolate Orpington rooster over a black Copper marans hen) but the issue is I have 4 that I would definitely say appear chocolate but I only put in 3 eggs that could have produced...

    Crossing chocolate roo on Red Sex Link

    I have a Chocolate Orpington Rooster and in the pen I have 2 Commercial bovan hens. The are both red with white streaks in their neck and end of tails feathers.

    Questions from an Obsessed with Sex Link/Autosexing and Cross

    I can’t quite explain it but I’m obsessed with sex linked and autosexing chickens and also cross breeding purebreds for specific characteristics.

    “Salmon Faverolle” that ain’t very Faverolle-ish

    I bought a 12 week old started Pullet from a lady who raises hatchery chicks (I believe bought from Murrey McMurrey or Ideal). The Salmon Faverolle I ordered does not have a muff or beard. She is 6 months old and the same size as the Barnevelder of the same age. She has not started laying so I...

    Pullet submitting to breeding before first lay

    I just saw my 2.5 yr old Columbian wyandotte Rooster breed my Easter Egger Pullet. She lay still for him to breed her. I have not had any eggs from her yet (or any of the 3 pullets in with him). Does this indicate at all that she should lay soon? I do not have them under lights.

    Blue Ameraucana looks Chocolate

    These birds belong to a friend of mine. This one hen and one Roo in her Blue Ameraucana flock look very brown/chocolate. Both are older birds and she said have gone more brown in tone as they aged. Thoughts?
