Ok that makes sense! I have a lot of space and I really want to give this a try! I would love to do lemon blue, Mille or calico and bobtail to start. I need to look into what other colors the bantams come in. Also, could I do this with Brahmas? I have some Isabel Brahmas I thought would be a fun...
Ok here’s my dilemma….I love large fowl Cochins…but I really want more colors! I have a bunch of bantam Cochins in neat colors (calico, lemon blue, etc) and I’m wondering how I can use the bantams to make LF Cochins in these fun colors. Does that even make sense?? Can someone explain it to me...
I am a lurker in the group. I agree with you on all points. I do have a few leghorns and was going to give them a try, but thought it would be cool to throw a couple of different breeds in the pen with the AC roo. I also have Blue Ameraucanas, several varieties of Orpingtons, Isabel Brahmas, and...
I am in a zombie chicken group on Facebook. Their whole thing is that you can only call offspring from a ln AC Roo and WLH Hen a zombie. Everything else is something else. They say that F1 crosses are sexable at hatch with the females only showing Fibro and the males showing none.
Ah that makes sense. What would I get with a recessive white bird? I know that with the leghorns they also have the barring gene, which is what makes them sexable at hatch. Any idea what breeds might come in dominant white? I know that Ameraucanas do, but finding them is hard.
Hi all! I am trying to plan a Fibro breeding pen for next year. I have Ayam Cemanis already, but wondering what breeds I could use to get that cool “zombie” look, aside from Leghorns. I know that actual Zombie chickens are AC Roo over White Leghorn hens. I have heard that leghorns are super...
Hello fellow chicken lovers! I had a random thought and I would appreciate your feedback on it. I am in the planning stages of building three breeding pens. What I was thinking is that it would be neat to have one rooster covering two breeds of hens. So I would get purebred chicks and hybrid...
I know that five weeks is too young to tell…but I’m very impatient! lol. Does anyone have a guess as to whether these 4 are hens or Toms? Overall size, leg thickness, snood development, movement, temperament, coloring…it all seems the same to me. Hatch date was 6/22. Any thoughts?
