    Duckling color

    What color will this duckling mature into? I started with a male Rouen and a female pekin. This is the third generation and they had been 75 percent wild color, 25 percent white. The down on this one makes me think it will look more like a silver Appleyard but I would like to hear others opinion.

    Recreating the 55 flowery chicken coloration

    So first generation would all carry one copy of dominant white but if you bred them together you would get 25% with two copies of dominant white , 50% with one copy and 25% with no dominant white, is that right?

    Feeding goslings grass

    Update: I did build me a very rudimentary chicken wire basket to feed grass to my goslings. I attached it to the door of the brooder so when I open it I have easy access to fill it. Here is a photo of it filled with fresh clipped grass. And when I closed the door the goslings immediately started...

    Incubation temperature

    What do you consider acceptable temperature fluctuations for the regular heating cycle in an incubator? Is it better to run a bit high or is it better to run low? My diy incubator is currently running 99.6 to 100.4 I am currently setting goose eggs with a target temp of 99.5

    Recreating the 55 flowery chicken coloration

    Following as I also am wanting recreate the 55 flowery. My understanding is it was derived from crossing light brown leghorns with white leghorns. Did Martin Silverudd have silver and barring in his brown leghorns? Or did he use other similar breeds to introduce those genes? What specific genes...
