I bred my Millie to a calico roo and it may be too soon to tell sex but a Cochin person said I had a few Roos and I’m looking to get opinions!
(Also have this copper maran and he is the only one in that pen who has a bright red comb so I’m assuming he is a roo since the other 11 marans hatched...
I recently took a flock of 7 D'uccles in (1 mottled too, 4 black and white mottled hens, 1 solid white, and this girl). What would you consider this color (im not thinking golden neck because she's not orange and white and is looking more blue/grey) this color isn't recognized right?)
I have...
Hello yall I breed Millie Fleur and Mottled Duccles- I was looking to start selling hatching eggs locally- when selling hatching eggs what’s the oldest an egg can get before you won’t sell it?
We just had a polish chick hatch yesterday and one hatch earlier today the newer chick is walking around fine but the first chick just kinda scoots around the incubator. His legs were kinda stiff this morning but are not loosened up to where they can fully extend he just like drags himself...
I breed Millie Fleur D’uccles from decent lines that have previously been shown and I have had a decent hatch rate. I currently am out of room in my incubator and get an egg every other day and am trying to figure out pricing for a dozen hatching eggs. What would you say is the right price or...
I have a frizzled calico Cochin hen and a smooth feathered calico Cochin rooster. I know you can't breed frizzle to frizzle but have seen that calico doesn't breed true is that right? How do genetics work for calicos? (I have only ever bred millie D’uccles and polishes)!
I currently breed D'uccles but have taken a friends splash polish in because she wants some chicks and I have a polish roo. My question is what chicks would we get from a white capped black polish rooster and a splash polish hen? Can anyone explain the genetics and possible chicks we could get...
We just hatched this chick and we know it’s a mix of serama and something else (we got some random mixed eggs from someone nearby just for fun). I know the person had silkies seramas and some duccles but I’m not sure if there are any other ones I’m missing 😂. Just give it ur best guess as to...
We recently separated one of our chickens after we saw her standing around with her feathers all puffed up. I was cleaning out the crate we have her in and she seemed to be having a hard time balancing but she now has this growth on her eye? What's wrong with her? As far as I have seen none of...
We are hatching Duccles and an egg laid on 2-17 was put on lockdown. On Saturday it starts to pip then by Sunday it has gotten almost all the way around the egg shell and it hasn’t done much today- could it be dead? How long should I leave it in the incubator or what should I keep an eye out...
Hello Everyone! Im not sure if many people have a social media for their Homesteading or animals but if you do I think it would be cool to share and connect with y'all on social media (instagram, Facebook, Tiktok, etc.)
I have a Tiktok and an Instagram Instagram account (we also have a...
Im looking to show and breed D'uccles and We have this Rooster and Hen! I was wondering if these would be decent birds to start breeding from? If anyone who breeds or shows Belgian D'uccles could give me feedback on these two it would be greatly appreciated! (I can include better photos if...
