    Ameraucana, EE, Cream Legbar, which one?

    so I also just hatched these out, and was told they're purebred white Ameraucana... is it true that their legs can darken as they age? this just seems so light to me,and their feathering is so dark... but I've never hatched white Ameraucana.

    Ameraucana, EE, Cream Legbar, which one?

    I hatched out 4 eggs. they were from a 1, blue Ameraucana over blue and white Ameraucanas and a cream legbar, and from 2, an Easter Egger pen. am I correct here? brown is a legbar cross, black is an Ameraucana, and the two lighter babes are Easter Eggers? eggs weren't labeled.

    Dun, Khaki, Platinum?

    my brain is fried, trying to understand these genetics. is this correct? can anyone share photos? I'm breeding specifically with silkies and satins, but any pics help. dun x dun = 1/4 khaki, 1/4 black, 1/2 dun dun x blue = 100% platinum

    White Silkie Genetics?

    I know most silkies are recessive white. however, say I have a black pen and a white pen - can I switch the roosters to see what colors are behind each white, or would there be a better color than black to use?

    calico, mottled, mille fleur?

    I'm looking for some better understanding. what EXACTLY is the difference between the three? not just the genetics - but what colors/patterns go with each? I'm seeing ads for all three (projects) but honestly... many look the same.

    Splash, mottle and mille fleur genes

    so... if I bred a Mille Fleur to some black and blue hens, and then bred the F1's back to the Mille Fleur, only the mottling would come through, correct? (even in the next few generations) it wouldn't be any of the Columbian?

    Silkie housing?

    I'm in the Midwest. Wisconsin, to be exact. its not uncommon to have negative temps, even a "polar vortex" of -40F in winter, and 90F in summertime. if you're in a climate such as mine, how do you house your silkies? this will be my first year having them apart from my LF/feathered birds...

    breeding frizzles, satins, and showgirls?

    Ameraucana color possibilities??

    so I'm getting a flock from someone local. roosters: silver and wheaten hens: silver, black, and blue wheaten what colors could I possibly get if I put the silver roo in with the hens vs if I used the wheaten?

    hatchery chicks. 1 not well

    no, it's not. she needs electrolytes formulated for chickens. some may say "it's better than nothing" but things that are good for us, are toxic to them.
