Ok guys. I purchased what I thought was 4 Egyptian goslings about 6 weeks ago. They looked identical from the start and were less than a week old. As soon as they began to feather out I noticed one was different. It is smaller, feathered out sooner, has a differently colored and shaped bill and...
I purchased 4 Egyptian goslings at less than a week old. At that time, they all looked identical. Now, at around five weeks old, they have feathered out and three look the same. One looks more like some kind of big ornamental duck than an Egyptian. It's head is even shaped different. So my...
I was wondering what different types of pheasants lay what color eggs. I also would like to know if a male that has not colored out all the way can still court and fertilize the hen?
I was wondering how you can tell lady amherst hens from red golden hens. Are there different leg colors and such that will identify one from the other. Also will a male that hasn't completely colored out, still breed and be fertile? And lastly, if you continuously pull eggs from them, how many...

I have up for auction a pair of large fowl sumatras. The male doesn't have multiple spurs but is very calm and laid back. His tail look much better before he started the molt but will come back this spring. I will not ship at this time. Local pickup only. Send payment via paypal to...

Yes I think you would have washed out color. I copied this from another site and may help:
The SOP for Splash is Slaty blue and white that has a faint bluish gray tinge. The undercolor s/be slaty blue and sooty white.

If anyone is interested, I am downsizing my flock to make room for all of my young birds coming up this year. I am going to be focusing more on my feather legged breeds and projects, so I just won't have room for these guys. I have several chickens for sale. The ones for sale are:
Trio of...
