    Blue Eared Breeds?

    Woah... all very neat info. So seems like blue ears are not a common enough thing for multiple breeds, but common enough that lineages can experience them anyway

    Blue Eared Breeds?

    Me neither! That's why I came here to ask because aside from Silkies I can think of literally no other breed with blue lobes in their SOP

    Blue Eared Breeds?

    Thanks! I thought Mosaics weren't a real breed-- more of a designer mutt. Am I mistaken? But neat about the genetic part. I've had Cream Legbars with blue ears before.

    Blue Eared Breeds?

    Lol no it's a common trend! Red ears = brown, white = white, blue = blue. But Silkies don't lay blue eggs either! :p

    Blue Eared Breeds?

    Yeah, I remember that too, but Ameraucanas have red earlobes. Pretty sure it's not an actually linked trait, just common trend.

    Blue Eared Breeds?

    I'm stumped. I saw a mix recently with blue ears but they're claiming that the bird has NO Silkie in them at all, and I realized I cannot for the life of me think of any other blue eared breeds... anyone know more than Silkies? I tried sleuthing the internet but keep getting blue egg breeds...

    Pine pellets for coop bedding??? Does it work?? I'm curious....

    In my experience pelleted cat litter SUCKS. Soooo horrible to use and clean, very wasteful too bc hard to avoid getting clean pellets out.

    I thought I knew what type of chick I had.

    Sorry, nothing helpful to contribute. That's neat! I thought Cinnamon Queens usually had a little "collar" so to speak. Can they not?

    Silkie Color Genetics

    More than that, they're missing a nail and the end of 3 digits are larger & rounder. It's clearly hereditary since more than one of them had it. Just curious if it's a common Silkie thing or what. I know! I just thought it was neat that they had more than one chick with a single comb.

    Silkie Color Genetics

    Dad was solid buff, mom was solid black. Another weird part of the babies are that some have clubbed toes and two of them somehow have single combs???

    Chicken! Girl or boy?

    Female, and I agree you do need to get her away from your birds. Massive health risk.

    Neat! Good luck with the Coast Guard life @Evadig. Have you lived near water most of your life? The flexibility certainly is nice. And it's a practice IACUC protocol, which is Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee and that committee is responsible for approving and maintaining the...

    Silkie Color Genetics

    This is exactly the coloration that my friend's bird has! And they all hatched black also, gradually developing the buff over time... I don't have the time to really absorb what has been said in the rest of the thread but I may have questions if it wasn't answered what your Silkie was lol
