I thought these pics might be of interest. This is not some weird new colour I'm trying to make, just an also happened, with the jubilee Orpingtons I've been making. This bird is both mille fleur & barred. The mother was a red barred Orpington carrying one mottling gene & the father was what I...

Does anyone hav a picture of "silver partridge" cochins? Or can anyone describe them to me? How about partridge cochins? What do they look like? Thanks

When RIR chicks first feather up is the depth of their colour an indicator of the colour of the bird as an adult. I've been making red orps from an initial outcross to an exhibition RIR some years ago. I was late breeding this colour this season. All of the parents were pretty dark, though not...

Please will you describe the colour of chick down you expect from dark exhibition strain Rhodies? Any photos would be appreciated.

Are there silver pencilled cochin LF in US? Thanks

As you can see the lacing is very poor, not all of the correct genes are present & it is on the wrong gene at the e-locus. The bird's type isn't very good either, but it could be worse I suppose. Seems I've cut his comb off in the pic, (I'm not a good photographer).....probably just as well as...

Since I've figured out how to use my daughter's camera I've had a go at taking pics of the birds in the temporary pens. This pic is most embarrassing the blue partridge male in the background has lost much of his comb to frostbite in these harsh winters. As you can see the penciling is rubbish...

Blue & black mottled Orps, in progress.

I've just had my first go with my daughter's digital camera....bought a new lead. A few people have talked about buff barred or cuckoo birds so I thought I'd try to get some pics of the Buff Cuckoo Orps we've been making. Unfortunately the birds had other ideas. Thus with my being very inept...

A pullet of mine has been in lay for a few weeks. For the last three or four days she has been, behaving as if she is laying an egg. She sits in her favourite nest goes through the motions of being about to lay an egg for half to one hour then she gets up & goes on about her day. But there is no...

I saw this & thought it interesting http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/7975260.stm

I am making silver blue wheaten Marans. The nicest silver blue wheaten pullet has been laying a good dark egg (a nicer colour than the other two slver blue wheatens). Within the last couple of days this pullet has started laying her eggs with that chalky whitish deposit which, if moistened...

Has anyone got a photo of gold brahma chicks &/or partridge wyandotte chicks at day old or there abouts ? Thanks

Hey Charlie, Had some ideas on those buff Araucanas you asked about, (or Ameraucanas, or whatever you call them). I've put this on the public forum so that we can all discuss ideas & hopefully learn from each other-----after all that's why were all here, is it not? I looked at feathersite but...
