Also I'm not good with genetics, and no chicken calculator has the fibromelanistic gene of the svart honas.

Hello everyone. I have 5 svart hona, and 5 Swedish isbars. 2 isbars are blue. The other 3 are black. I have a large cage, big enough for all 10 chickens, but I know I won't have room for several roosters. I was hoping to have a rooster of each breed, and several hens of each. I was...

he's a nice boy! i see all these pics of people's pretty mixed birds, and i cant wait until i actually have some of my own.

thanks for your help! thats a very pretty young bird you have there. i hope mine turn out like that

ok, so i know that ive had like 4 posts about chicken breeds, but i finally figured out what i wanna do. i have a barred rooster now, a rir rooster, a buff rooster, and a blue rooster. i know that the last 3 roos crossed with a barred hen will make a sex link. i know about the blue and...

thanks for your quick reply. i think that ill stay away from the white leghorns then. im hoping to find some pics of the blue sex links. almost all of my birds are blue

ive finally made up my mind about the breeding of chickens. ive sold my extra hes and roosters. i have several grown blue orpingtons, so im going to breed those. i recently got 5 barred rock pullets. ive heard that the blue rooster x barred hen creates blue/ black sex links. ive looked...

thanks for your quick reply. i would like a dog, such as a great Pyrenees, but i dont think i could handle something like that. would a cat maybe do the trick? theres lots of pasture and fields behind the coop. we have a white lab but hes very friendly. theres lots of people with kittens...

i recently have noticed a lot of feathers on the ground in my coop. i have close to 40 birds. most of them (about 35) actually sleep in some leyland cypress trees in front of the coop itself. my guinea hens and younger birds sleep in the coop. i have a smaller cage for young birds when...

ive also read that a BCM x RIR creates a hybrid called a bluebell. i really like them. the hen has the body of a RIR hen, so not too awful fat like an orpington, but not as skinny as a leghorn. look them up. has anyone ever tried this? I apreciate all your help

i dont have a delaware hen. my hen's breed is called the Blue hen of Delaware. its an old fighting breed that dates back to the revolutionary war.

i undertand what you're saying. it is confusing. all my breeds are great egg layers. i dont eat any of my birds, so the bird size doesnt really matter. i guess what im wanting to know is what size the birds will be, and the color. when i sell mixed breeds, i try to specify the parents. i...

im interested mostly in the maran and blue hen of Delaware. the Blue hen's male looks much like a blue copper maran male. this is why I wanted to cross the 2.

im sure anyone who has raised mille fleurs should know that as the birds age, they get more of the speckles on them, in case you were wondering why the little cockerel is almost completely red

I have 9 or so pairs of oegb. I wanted to know what all I can breed to get different varieties of oegb. I don't speak genetics, so please don't put them. I am just looking for simple directions to breed them. Here are the breeds I have: opal roo, opal hen, ginger red roo, ginger red hen, bb...

Her poop is uNdescribable ( it's poop). We have a 300 foot run for all of our chickens, but we keep the bantams in the smaller pens because the standard size chickens pick on them. The pen is 50 feet wide. The small tractors are 3x5 so we have them 5 in a row. We move them down 3 feet each...

She must be a pretty old hen. We only get an egg or so each week. I have had her since mid-August, and she seems to be doing fine. I went to get some chicks from someone and I saw the hen. They gave her to me, and said her toes had been like that since they bought her as a young hen (4-5...
