The rooster is mottled. The hen is not but may carry the mottled gene. If the hen does carry the mottled gene, 50% will be splits and 50% will be mottled. Here is a mottled breeding chart that I learned from
If you look at his beard you can see the mottling
And here are pics of him a a...
Yeah. He’s god the nice long neck. His tell is a little short and his chest isn’t very deep. But I’ll get that fixed, probably in a couple generations.
Just wanted to post my two roosters. For their l parents being hatchery quality and the khaki only being an f1 and the lavender being and f2 (f2 to get the lavender color) I’m pretty proud of the tails on these boys. I know their not the best tails but it’s a GIANT step up from their dads.
Now...
Welcome back everyone! I’ve got the two F2 birds (silkied ones) breeding now. I decided to pair them first because I’ll get all silkied chicks and if the hen carries the mottled gene 50% should come out mottled.
If the intestines are hanging out I’d go ahead and put the chick down. It won’t be able to live very long as food won’t be able to pass. Infection would probably take the chick out faster than not being able to poop.
To put the chick down you could wring the neck or put the chick in a sandwich...
Hi y’all!!! Don’t worry I have not forgotten about this project! Due to remodeling my breeding pens and the weather has set my breeding season back
As of who is up to breed first….
F1MFxF1MF and Hen (F1MF x F1MFxF1MF)
I’ve got six eggs in the incubator due to hatch May 7. I need to get pics of...
Here they are! 1 fawn silver duckwing (out of my Sport/khaki silver duck and fawn silver duck), 1 silver duckwing (out of my fawn silver duck and silver duck), 2 lavenders (I think one came from the pullet I produced last year) and 3 buff Brahma bantams
I’ve also got more OEGBs due to hatch May...
I can’t wait to see the new babies and your new birds!! I love the whites!
I’ve also got some OEGB eggs set due to hatch the 18th. Fawn/khaki silver duckwings and some lavenders. I also may be able to get some nice cerle or black OEGB
