And thank you for your kind words and all your help! I always worry people are gonna get rude and I just leave and never respond so thank you for answering what was initially a silly question and answering with kindness
It’s so sad that mixed creeds get famous and no one knows what a Sumatra is? That’s mind blowing to me. I love to breed show chickens but today all people want are free eggs and mixes. It makes me wanna give up on all the time and effort a lot of people put into saving them from extinction and...
That’s exactly why I was asking about kiki s and then learned they had no standard and a reputable and very seasoned breeder NEEDS a standard!! I am. Thinking. A silver hen. Is in his. Future!
Thank you so much, I have the opportunity to get a kiki Rikki silver hen who is 13 ozs ..... So I'm kinda experimenting. I do have a question about genetics ... If I breed him to a silver hen, will I get mostly silver offspring or is it similar to splash chickens? I.E would I get any percentage...
This is Dartanian an oeg bantam what color do you see? Chocolate? Lavender? Do do you think I should breed him with White Oeg? Or with silver? Wat would you mix this fella with?
Amber link should have more color but it’s very possible she just an odd ball….they’re all lovely but me and my husband both instantly said Plymouth Rock but the tail is strange …. Either way very pretty birds!

I’ve raised barred rocks ALOT over the years and this really isn’t unusual….she’s a she for sure….the breed has been overbred and line bred so much that these recessive genes come out… as long as her comb doesn’t hinder her ability to see she’ll be a fine and quite lovely egg layer!! Btw they...
That’s all I really care about is that there’s at least one of each I’m going to play around with genetics and see if I can isolate the blue gene! And really all that matters is that happy healthy and loved! Thanks for all the input I’ll post more photos here in about three weeks!!!
I will definitely be adding more photos as I go!! I should mention this weekend they are officially 21 weeks which means it’s time to catalog and number each bird and in the process I use my phone for pictures and as a backup in case the “chicken log😄” gets lost as it’s paper…..I’d love to see...
