    Brown Chick

    I have never, in my 10 years of experience with chickens/chicks, ever hatched a full brown chick without it being black w/brown leakage. I do know that brown chicks exist, but with the combo this one is out of, I had no idea it was possible. Dad is a Ayam Cemani-Sebright mix, and mom is a Buff...

    Puppies?

    I have two Great Danes, a male and female, both unfixed. The female is 3 or 4 years old, and the male is about 7. About a month ago, early December, our female went into heat whole we were away. The only reason why both have not been neutered/spayed, is that a while ago we had a vet tell us to...

    Interesting!

    A few weeks ago, I decided to try and hatch a few chicks out of my Buff Laced Sebright Hen and Black Frizzle Cochin cockerel. Only one hatched, and wow! It is not what I expected! I was taking a guess and had assumed the chicks would come out as black with a few buff/white spots/lacing, but this...

    Calling all horse people! (Color/genetics question)

    Hello! I have a yearling filly who is supposed to be a buckskin according to her genetics, but I’m starting to suspect she’s a dunskin. Her dam (mom) is a cremello with possible roaning, and sire (dad) is a bay (I’ll put pictures of them below). I know buckskins can occasionally have a thin back...

    Strange Sebright

    I have a 3 and a half week old Sebright that was supposedly a buff laced when it first hatched, but doesn’t seem to have any lacing. It’s father is a silver laced, and mother is a buff laced. Does this tend to happen when mixing the two colors, or is this a defect of some sort?

    Guess the parents (Frizzle Cochin color genetics)

    A broody decided to hide her and some Cochin eggs a few weeks ago, and once they started hatching, we’ve had chicks that match the parents. All except this one: It’s blue. We have no blue frizzle Cochins. The possible fathers are: (This guy above is 3/4 Cochin and a weird Lavender/ Mauve...

    Chick with crooked neck

    I have a Sebright chick that either got stepped on by the broody or hatched wonky, and it is trying to keep it’s head in between it’s legs like it would in the egg. It’s somehow managing to walk (not very well). Any ideas on what to do?

    Left for vacation and returned to 65 developing chicks

    I went on vacation for about a week and a half, and got back yesterday. This morning I went out to the coop and saw 4 Brooding! I candeled all the eggs out there (around 100-120), as the person who was supposed to collect the eggs over the week, did not. Anyways, we now have 22 small Sebrights...

    Sebright with Spurs?

    I was looking at one of my 10 month old Sebright cockerel, and noticed he’s growing Spurs. I’m positive Sebrights are supposed to be spur-less. Will it be a bad idea to breed him for show quality chicks?

    How did they all die?

    I decided I wanted to breed my Cochin mix and Cochin pullet/hen to a Frizzled Cochin last month, and put them together for a week. I ended up with only one egg from the pure Cochin hen and four from the Cochin mix. I’ve never hatched any from the mixed pullet as she started laying a month prior...

    Creating a new breed (includes Cemani, Sebright, Cochin, and more)

    I’ve been working on an idea for some time now, to create a kind of breed that has feathered legs, dark blue/slate skin and legs, slight muffs, lays blue/green eggs, has a frizzled variety, and is a bantam size. I’m planning on starting by using a black bantam Cochin hen and breeding her with a...

    Curious what these guys were...

    A few years ago I wasn’t at all interested in our chickens and the breeds we got. I can now name all that we had, except these three. All have past in 2016-2017 due to an eagle and old age. The first two are the same breed with slate legs and golden duckwing color. The hen layed cream eggs...

    How in the world did these chicks have these colors?

    Well about 3 1/2 weeks ago, we had two Cochin mixes hatch. Both were white with slight black markings on the wings. Well today I just got back from a mini vacation for Thanksgiving which I was on for only a week, and found these two have gotten what looks like Lavender or splash! I’m extremely...

    What color is this dude?

    This is my Ayam Cemani x Sebright cockerel we hatched out in May, and man is he a stunner! I’m curious to what color he might be, as I’m currently hatching some of his chicks. I believe his mother was a Buff laced Sebright, and father was a normal Ayam Cemani (from what I know).

    Cockerel having trouble mounting

    I have a 25 week old cockerel who I’m trying to breed with two pullets. He’s a frizzled bantam Cochin and I believe that is one reason why he is having a bit of trouble. Is there any way I can help him? He usually tries to hold on to the neck feathers, then can’t get up.

    This winter’s breeding projects!

    Every year around this time, I become a hatchaholic for some egg-layers in the spring. This year, we’re working on breeding a Black Cochin cockerel to a Black Cochin hen, a Cochin x Leghorn/Polish, a Buff laced Sebright (If she starts laying), and a Golden laced Sebright (also should start...

    Chicken calculator!

    I have had AMAZING success with using the calculator: https://kippenjungle.nl/Overzicht.htm#pluginTree (You May have to scroll to the top to find the chicken one) It’s extremely accurate, and has even gotten my most recent chick’s coloring guesses right. this was when I crossed my black Cochin...

    Buff Sebright breeding questions

    I have a Buff pullet who is around 26 weeks now. She hasn’t layed yet, but I’m assuming she will when the days get a bit longer. I understand that when you cross a Silver cockerel to a Golden Pullet, they are sexlinked and all females will be silver whilst males will be gold with silver leakage...

    Telling gender from inside the egg experiment

    I’m interested in different ways to tell gender before hatching. I’ve already tried the myth of pointed eggs being cockerels and rounded eggs being pullets, and put in around eleven rounded and one pointed to see if it would work, but ended up with eight cockerels. (The one pointed ended up...
