    can a quail cross with a chicken? or is she pulling a fast one on me?

    A shame to to assume the woman is lieing to her, especially as she willing to give the hen to her for free... 🤷‍♀️ just saying. Might be a 1 in a million chance, but that is just one hen 🤷‍♀️. So not impossible and doesn't mean she was lieing. I for one think the hen has a very quail shaped...

    peachick displaying question

    So am I right in thinking that if a peachick displays it means it is a boy? As mine has just displayed for the first time at 5 weeks old and I have been wondering what sex it might be up until now?

    SILKIES New Colors BEIGE and BOBTAIL

    May I ask what your findings were as regards to the genetics behind the bobtail colour? I am hoping to put this into brahmas. Am planing on using male bobtails because of them carrying the recessive white in double dose as opposed to the females? X

    Brahmas of most coloures, Brahmas of most coloures (I created white partridge in them. Using dominant white birds over exhibition penciled gold partridge). I plan on using several bobtail males (because the can pass on the sl gene to all offspring regardless of sex) to create the colour in...

    Bobtail genetics

    Its Double laced lavender birchen! The double lacing on the neck feathers has completely got rid of what would have been a lavender center to each feather. Here's a photo of blue birchens. Obvious similarity, only we all know the blue version wouldn't breed true like lavender would 🤷‍♀️.

    Color genetics thread.

    I'm doubting it's anything to do with blue, as they breed true and we all know blue doesn't. So perhaps a lavender birchen. You say without the lacing, but the lacing is giving them the white edges. So I would be more inclined to suspect double lacing, resulting in a total loss of the inner...

    Waht are these purple spots on my eggs ?

    It was something I found some time ago when searching the same thing. It stuck in my mind as all my eggs had different wash, colour/patterns on them. I soon noticed that I got those same coloures/patterns regularly. And then began to notice which hen laid which colour/pattern (when I observed a...

    Waht are these purple spots on my eggs ?

    Exactly, one of the last stage of an eggs development is the wash. Every girl has her own unique wash. Some have brown spots, some purple, some white, some only have spots at one end etc... Its a nice way of seeing who lays more etc. I like to put my girls eggs in rows in the tray depending on...
