Your place and birds are beautiful :) is that an Anatolian / Anatolian cross I see ? ;) ? ... Love it !! I also have an Italian Maremma and a Rotti (saw yours in the background) . Years ago I had an Anatolian, great dogs, so are the Pyrs :) My fence is only 4 ft. so my birds are on the "honor...
Yes :) I have 40 acres and 4 acres is fenced for my "yard", so I turn everyone out after breeding season and let them enjoy life. They are very good about it and never leave the yard :) They roost waaay up in the trees in the summer but, head for their coop once the weather gets too cold ( Nov)...
Sure Zazouse, I will get a pic of her in the morning when she comes up on the deck and knocks on my patio door for her morning sunflower seeds LOL ( she really doesn't look any different than a reg. black shoulder) The ones I have are at a distance and don't really show what she looks like...
Zazouse Thank you and yes that is her mamma, she is a BS Cameo or Oaten. Yes I kept 1 of my Oaten hens, although she is for sale if I can find the right home for her ;) I'm also selling my BS Midnight hen. Now I'm looking for a young BS male to be a mate for my new cute little girl :) The only...
Hi everyone,
I know this question has been asked a million times before, is my chick male or female ? She hatched out July 26th (2014). I know it's a Black shoulder. She will be 3 mo. in a few days. If it is a female ( like I'm thinking) I want to get a BS male this fall so I can raise them...
Thank you both for the help.:) :) Spalding, pied or white are all fine with me :) it will be a gamble because I don't know if either are split, but I guess I will find out ;) THANKS AGAIN EVERYONE...you are all so helpful :)
Hi again everyone...again I need some help on my genetics. I am getting a spalding hen and plan on breeding her to what I believe to be a spalding male ( sometimes he looks like my blue but more green/yellow down his back and at times I can see VERY emerald green patches on his neck, always in...
Thanks Pedda, I'm discovering that horse color genetics are very similar to peafowl....hetrozygus, homozygus, single recessive, dbl. recessive etc. THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR INPUT :) it's greatly appreciated . I think I am going to sell the 2 Oaten/BS cameo and get a couple of pied hens for my...
Yes, I know it is a sex link color ( I'm way better at horse genetic colors, just learning bird genetics) so being a sex link color breeding back to the BS should give me black shoulders..correct? or am I way off base. Thanks
Hi everyone, I have 2 white males, 1 blue male, 2 "oaten" ( BS cameo) hens...I need to get more hens and was wondering what to cross with my whites to get pied? and WHAT WILL I GET FROM THE "OATENS" crossed with white or blue? Trying to figure out what color hens to get and if I should keep the...
