Hello!
So I am getting this black and white drake. The seller is unsure on breed but it looks like a possible Ancona?
I have 3 khaki ladies currently. Wondering how the babies and future adults might look with the color combo. I’ve tried the color genetics calculator but I’m not sure what to...
Hi all!
I’ve looked and looked for the possible outcomes, but I’m not finding specifics.
We bought 3 black Swedish ducks from a local farm that was downsizing. As far as we know they only had black Swedish and khaki Campbell.
Well we hatched some of the girls first eggs, for fun.. as I...
Hey everyone!
So I have strong hunches but I’d love if someone with strong knowledge has any opinions.
Regardless of the outcomes, I am able to keep all cockerels where I’m at and honestly I’m hoping some of these are!!
1 & 2 - 5.5 week Columbian Wyandotte - hopeful 1 is cockerel and 2 is...
Just trying to get idea of what they could be!
I know it’s still early so to be 100% certain I know I need to wait longer.
Speckled Sussex 4 weeks old
Columbian Wyandottes 3 weeks old. The darker one didn’t have tail feathers really until 2 days ago.
The group of 3 Easter eggers are all 4...
I’m impatient with a capital I! Lol
I know time will tell, but does anyone have a feeling on gender?
I’ve read a couple threads in here that said the difference in cockerel vs pullets. I think I’m still too early to be confident in my guess. They are like a day or two tops from being 3 weeks...
So I’ve seen a couple times people say when the wing length on one chick is much shorter than the other it might determine roo vs hen…
Does this help determine sex when you have multiple of the same breed? Is it breed specific? Or just genetics?
Example pictures of 2 I had. Still waiting to...
Considering rotational roosters… I have 3 currently, 3 different breeds. Should I leave certain hens with certain roos? Could I rotate them out or is that asking for trouble?
I’m seeking some interesting colors on plumage and eggs. Breeds listed below, what do you think?
I’m hoping to end up...
Hi all!
This girl, believe it or not, was sold to me as a lavender Orpington. Pretty quickly I realized she wasn’t and let her grow out. She’s now approaching 21 weeks.. has not laid an egg yet. Anyways, what breed/s do we think she is?
And genetics question:
If I breed her with my...
Hi all!
So last week I posted these 2 and I got told pullets. Last night I got told by many 2 Roos.
I miscalculated their age, went back and looked. I purchased May 31st and they were only a few days old. So tomorrow will be exactly 7 weeks since I got them. Along with pictures taken...
Hi all!
So I have 2 blue laced RED Wyandotte hens and a blue laced GOLD Wyandotte Roo. If I let them breed will I still have the 50-25-25? Blue, black, splash? What happens to the gold vs red? Just more golden? I’ve done my research on the blue laced red breeding to one another but I didn’t...
Hi y’all!
I have 2 7 week old blue laced red Wyandotte. I’m not confident in my assumptions and what I’m seeing. Do I have 2 pullets or 1 of each? Thanks!
I currently have 1 true Olive egger - a black copper maran and I’m pretty positive an ameraucana.
Not 100% but based on the farm I got the other one from, I’m pretty sure she’s a sapphire olive egger.
They are going to start laying any day now.
To the point. I have 2 beautiful cream legbar...
Hi y'all!
I have an approximately 11 week starlight green egger and a 6 week old Smokey pearl. Either way, I'm going to keep them, I was just trying to get a head start on organizing my breeding pens.
I’ve spent hours trying to research these two breeds, and there’s really not much on either...
