Blue and Brown are co dominant, while white is recessive. As far as I understand it; the chicken can only have two copies of a gene, blue will mix with brown to give you green, two blues will give a darker blue egg, blue and white will be a lighter blue, two browns will be dark brown, brown and...

So my naked neck roo has claimed my only polish girl (she was originally with the silkies/sizzles). Are there any breeds that have a naked neck and a crest, other than showgirls? Or does any one have pictures of a similar cross? I put a few of her eggs under a broody hen, I am pretty excited to...

I'm not really sure what your chicken is. Try posting in the "what breed/gender is this" thread though..

Great info. I don't raise Marans, but I think focusing solely on egg color is a bad choice. That is like how we got Easter Egger chickens. All people cared about were the blue egg color not the standard of perfection for the founding breeds and the result were mongrel chickens whose only...

My EE's are all hatchery/very game bird looking. They are also some of my best layers of medium to large pale blue eggs. I got them from the local Agway, but they are definitely as good as my breeder RIRs. Out of a flock of a dozen birds (11 hens 1 roo), I get 7-9 eggs most days of the year...

Does anyone have frizzles that carry the frizzle modifier so that there is no need to breed back to smooth feathered birds? This is what I found on the gene but with all the discussion of breeding back to smooth birds for frizzles it had me wondering if there are any birds in the U.S. that...

Went through all the duplicates on the breeds page. Here is a list of the best duplicates to be made into the main pages: https://www.backyardchickens.com/breeds/araucana/441 (one other "sub page") https://www.backyardchickens.com/breeds/belgian_d_anver/63922 (one other "sub page")...

I don't have any frizzles. Are they a breed? I've read that there is a recessive gene to reduce the frizzling so I'm assuming a breed can have all double frizzles if they have that as well

I already know the scope of this project. I was planning on doing the crossing in two stages, the first stage I was going to breed silkie girls and phoenix roosters then take the best dark skinned/fully feathered/long tailed roosters and breed back to the silkies for better skin tone and so on...

I am interested in starting a project breed mixing the dark egg laying of the marans with a black skin/feathered bird that also has feathered feet/crest/beard and the long tails of the phoenix. I know that the feathered feet/beard/crest are all dominant (at least partially) and that the black...

I recently tried my first shipped eggs and since my incubators were all full I made a styrofoam incubator real quick and set them in. Out of a dozen eggs I hatched 7 birds

I've wanted a naked bird since I saw they existed on here haha and now that my seramas have all been sold or died off I've decided its time to get a scaleless hen for the house. Does anyone in the US breed these birds?

what a beautiful bird! Is it possible to get hatching eggs or scaleless chicks in the US? I would love to have a featherless hen in the house

do the females have the be artificially inseminated since he cannot flap his wings to get into position? I would love having a totally naked hen in the house!! I have some naked neck hens in my flock now and they're the coolest little freaks I've ever seen... Until this haha add me to the list...

wrap each egg individually in bubble wrap. then put them into an egg carton. wrap the egg carton in bubble wrap and then put the carton in a box filled with packing peanuts and voila

it could be a prolapsed vent

I ordered hatching eggs and got 9 out of 12 in my last hatch

if your getting 5 or 6 why not just get one of each haha

its not an exact thing. you could have some of the eggs you put in at the same time hatch 8 hours apart from one another

look up pictures of muscovy and mallard. It does not look like a muscovy duck to me. I dont see any sign of the face waddles that muscovy get(idk what they're really called i only have chickens and runner ducks) its probably a cross between different mallard derived breeds.
