Ok y'all, it's been awhile since I've made an RP. But what if we made onr based on our real chickens? I'll figure this out as I go lol. Anyway, make a little a post for your character (based off a real chickens of yours). Use name, gender, breed, age, and color variety. And a picture of your...
So, how do buttercup combs work? What makes them? Is it duplex somehow combined with single? My poultry genetics books say very little on it, and I cant find much on google. I am also doing my own breeding "experiment" with them. I crossed a buttercup with a Marans, and got a regular single...
Hello, so I decided I want to try to make good quality frizzled ameraucanas.I already have a nice base bird. It is a single frizzled chick. It's mom was a pure black show quality ameraucanas hen, its dad was a dominant white frizzled standard sized clean legged pea combed muffed/bearded rooster...
Hey, so I was wondering what red Pyle x birchen and red Pyle x bb Red would be? I know the red pyles are dominant white... so I'm assuming the birchen x would be dominant white with silver or gold leakage (of course, the silver leakage wouldn't show) and black leakage as well. Would the bb red x...
I keep making threads for all of my breeding projects, and I realized, I should just make a thread for all this stuff I wanna do, like my friend @Yard Farmer. So a few of my projects are making Blue breasted red modern games using Black breasted red and lemon blue, Breeding and working on the...
Hey, so I made a thread for this a while back (https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/making-a-large-chicken-breed.1628880/) but kinda just starting to do what I was planning on that thread. So, I have a really large indio Gigante/bielefelder cockerel. I'm gonna be crossing him over my layer...
Hey! So in this thread I am going to be recording my mutt flock's family tree. I am currently making a chart for everything I have bred over the past three-four years. Everything recorded on the charts is only birds that I bred, or didn't breed but I still kept. I have a ton of chicks that I...
I was wanting to make some Blue breasted Red modern game bantams. For me to use I have Lemon blue modern hens and and Black breasted red modern roosters. I know I could get one eventually, but I was wondering what breeding program I would have to follow. @NatJ

It would mean a ton if anybody subscribed! I just made it a few minutes ago, but I will be sure to get some vids up soon!
This is my first hatch of the year, and I am starting it off with 24 eggs! While most of these will be EE/OE chicks, some will be pure ameraucanas, and some might just be some random mutts.

I've always known that recessive white birds can exhibit no other feather colors, or so I thought. My friend has a pair of recessive white Ameraucanas, but they both have little bits of black leakage. I was thinking they were dominant instead, but she said that if they were dominant white, they...
How long would you guys think it would take for a brahma to get to exhibition age? I know how long for most chickens, but I think brahmas take a little longer since they are so large. Thanks in advance!
What age is the minimum for showing heritage turkeys? Not for market shows. Sorry if this is the wrong forum, idk if I should do in this one or the turkey one.
Hey, so next year I plan to try to make porcelain OEGB. I'm gonna definitely use Mille Fleur OEGB from Cackle hatchery but I'm not sure where I should incorporate the lavender gene from. Do you guys think I should use lavender OEGB or Porcelain D'uccles? Using the D'uccles takes care of color...

How did I get a blue pullet when I have never had any blue and splash birds in this flock. These are the only birds that were in the flock at the time:
(I have two of the hens that are white with leakage but I only posted a photo of one since they look the same) And this is a pullet I hatched...
