Welcome One and All Chicken Lovers!
My chickens are in their heated barn and laying like mad! Crazy breed combinations possible.
I have dark colored egg layers. I mixed aracauna (green gene) with brown, white, and pink layers.
Their offspring are producing dark pink, dark green, orangey...
Yes thank u all who replied. My project is new to me. The speckled hens are all new stock as are the lavendar drakes. I think this is all facinating. I just love new knowledge.
I don't have many resources available. So I have to use what I can get.
Thanks again everyone. Does anyone have pics...
The splash girls I do believe are BLUE and BLACK, I'd like a lilac splash drake.
These girls will be going in with the lilac boys next year, along with the lilac hens
LEMONS: I don't know what they are called, I am calling them splash, since noone has seen or shown me ones similar. I'm using...

Anything pied, as I understand, stays pied. Pied and anything else give you the pied gene. Same as bibbed. One of those passed down traits.
Black and blue usually always produce 50/50 split of black and blue self pied babies. With blue and black, male and female of each color...
Had lone call duck and chick hatch out. Chicken Joe and Quakers. Chicken Joe is the call duck. No more male names, he's fully feathered and quacking like a drake
ok, now i'm awake and took pics. Maybe orange was too strong a color choice... it has a light orange/pinky bill and feet, they have gotten lighter, just looked more closely.
Face pic coming... internet and phone signal is weak here.
Hey all I have had great success with my call ducks this year, for the most part they are done for the season.
My last incu eggs yielded a solid white call duck.
I have no white hens or drakes.
Khaki trio, chocolate trio, lilac (2 drakes and 1 hen), splash (Blue, lilac, and black hens), 2...
Henk, Thanks so much for the information. I will assume it's your site. My biggest question on this entire forum is are the two drakes, lilac or lavendar. Have you seen the colors? Are mine either?? And sorry about the German addition. Was unaware it was a Dutch calculator. :-)
I am eager to...
