    Official BYC Poll: How Do You Keep Your Coop Smelling Fresh?

    I use Stalosan-F as well. It is available here https://www.qcsupply.com/stalosan-f-dry-disinfectant-33lb.html It is a little spendy but one of the best products I have used for the coops. If you are lucky enough to be in a state that has a QC Suppy you will save the $20 shipping. I wish more...

    Calling all genetic guru's!!! Harlequin Orpington!!!

    I know this thread is from last year but thought I would add to it. I have seen a few people using the term "harlequin" and I am not sure genetically what it is supposed to be since chickens can not possess the blue, black and white gene on the same bird needed to be a true harlequin color. As...

    Actually, it was the leakage in the Mottled Orps that was the problem. The Jubilees are already black white and mahogany. The red affected the mottled orps as it was nearly impossible to get rid of the red gene. What Jeremy was talking about was using it to benefit the Jubilee gene pool or...

    Neither rooster will give you Jubilee chicks, so it depends on what you wanted the results to be as to which one to use. Actually nothing will give you jubilee chicks except a jubilee rooster. If you wanted to create a pure jubilee line by using the red you might be able to get there after...

    English Orps are poor layers in general unlike their American counter parts. They are seasonal layers in England and are primarily used for exhibition over there. In the USA the American Buff Orpingtons are one of our best layers. English Orpingtons are very finicky layers as well as being...

    I am not sure how to create a barred bird, I believe you would have to start with a barred bird then add the color you would like to create.

    Unknown chicken breed??

    Well he has pink legs and few breeds have pink legs, Orpington and Sussex are two that have pink legs, there are also not many breeds with pink legs and the columbian markings - so given the leg color and feather color - my guess is Buff Sussex or Buff Sussex cross- here is a picture This is...

    Yes, that is correct, creles can not produce that variety of color, I believe there must be something else in the mix. Also in order to produce solid males the rooster would either have to be solid, or the rooster could be single barred over a solid hen. But a double barred rooster will...

    Although I do not know what is behind these chicks they look more like what you might get from two single barred first generation creles. It appears that you have a double barred male, single barred male, single barred pullet and solid pulled of the correct color for second generation chicks...

    I can give a little information on the Crele Orpington color. First a true crele is a cross of Cuckoo over Partridge. There is no other combination that will give you crele. A lot of people think Cuckoo over Buff will do it but it will not. Some people will put cuckoo over any other color...

    English Silver Laced Orpingtons

    As far as I know all silver laced breeds except Orpingtons have yellow legs. Thus making it difficult to introduce the gene without also introducing certain disqualifications or faults to the Orpington breed, needing generations of breeding and culling to eliminate the excess baggage like...

    English Silver Laced Orpingtons

    Yes that can happen even in other imported birds. It is not desirable and should not be used for breeding, however it is not the fault of the person who imported them. The idea of creating a new color is because it is not available in that breed. Sometimes it is imperative to use a bird from...

    Black will be black, could have a little white on chest/sides of face, blue will be blue, chocolate will be chocolate, Mauve will be tan, and cuckoo will have a white dot on the top of it's head Good luck!
