2yr old silver laced polish bantam rooster and two mix breed half polish hens need a home. We need coop space for show quality bantams for my 4h kids. He is yellow from sun exposure and has a broken off spur so can't be entered in shows anymore but he is from champion bloodlines so would be a...
Silver laced polish rooster bought from Dick Horstman (show quality blood lines) needs a new home. He is yellowed from the sun and has a broken off spur so can't be shown but would make a good breeder for someone. Pm me if interested.
And the blue wheaten Roo he is 7 mo old. What do you guys think of him? Is his leg and feather coloration correct? He is much larger than the other roo.
His legs were very green a few months ago. Now they are grey/blue and look like the other two am's legs. He has some pale flesh coloring on the bottom of his feet. So his coloring is not true to a wheaten am?
I checked the bottom of his feet and they aren't yellow at all. It's weird though the area between the toes looks pale like my skin tone with the grey leg color blending over it.
Thanks for the info on genes for leg color now it all makes sence. He is out as a breeder then because I don't want him only passing one gene to his chicks for dark leg color.
Any thoughts on entering him in 4H show as far as disqualifications?
This is a pic from a few months ago comparing his legs to his siblings legs. Now the legs colors are almost the same which is what has me so confused.
This was from a couple weeks ago and his legs continue to darken.
So the green legs as an adolescent cockerel makes him an EE? Also what if my daughter shows him at the fair? They wouldn't know he used to have green legs but is there something else about him that makes him EE?
How about the blue egg gene? I have some leghorns that I would like to breed and...
He has a pea comb so that is good.
He looks wheaten but he was supposed to be blue wheaten, his brother is definitely blue wheaten, and the sister I'm not so sure. The pics on ameuracana website look the same to me for the hens. My daughter would like to show him in the spring at the 4H fair...
I have a cockerel who now has slate\blue legs but when he was younger his legs were definitely greenish while his three siblings legs were slate/blue at that time. I am wondering if he might not carry the blue egg gene as I read the roosters with green legs only sometimes do. I want to breed for...
