Thank you for your reply. I feel that this will be very beneficial to others. The point of breeding (as I understand it) is to improve one's stock and in order to do that; one has to evaluate the offspring. It's rather difficult to do so without some point of photographic reference in terms...
Thanks for the link. :) That's a very nice collection of the various colors for reference. I've bookmarked it. However; what I was looking for is a timeline of the same bird/s at various ages up to maturity. I should have been more specific in my initial request. Basically, what I wanted to...
Hatched today~Silver Pied aka "Pie".
Does anyone know of a good pictoral reference for how the coloration matures on the Silver Pied? I've searched Google without any luck. I would love to see photos from chick to adult. This is the sire (Sterling) who was purchased as a yearling. He is...

First, so very, very sorry for the loss of your birds. You didn't mention which state that you are living in. However; I would suggest contacting your local dog warden (Can be found by doing an online search with your county of residence) and having the incident put on the...

All that I'm doing here is sharing a photo. We don't breed our chickens. I don't free range. My birds are in a 5' enclosed chain link area with aviary netting. I didn't ask for an evaluation. Posts like yours are the reason that I lurk. If you are unhappy with the breeding--then I...
It's not for an outside party to decide what is *valuable* in someone else's breeding program. Carriers (or in this species splits) are generally used to maintain size and conformation without getting too genetically "strung out". When one starts breeding mutations recklessly--genetically...
I sent a PM last evening, so hopefully this is OK to post. I'm a bit late joining here but currently have 6 shipped in Sizzle Eggs (2 possible Showgirl Sizzle) on day 17 of incubation. Additional information/photos on my blog.
Wishing a successful hatch to all!

WANTED: 6--Bantam Buff Frizzle Hatching Eggs. I understand that I am taking a chance on the offspring being Regular or Frizzled. I've put up a random price above but would be open to various pricing. I have hatched shipped in eggs in 2014 with a 50-80% success rate (different sellers) and...
Could someone please post photos of a Mature Silver Pied beside a Mature India Blue pied? (Thanks so much.) I've been reading at various sources and also checked Google images and there seems to be little consistency as to ID.
I hatched a Male (DNA Sexed) Silver Pied here in our home...
