I have no idea what different lines may look like at hatch, so I couldn't say what's right or wrong.
Neither group look anything like any of the campine chicks I have produced. There is a golden chick pictured on Feathersite that looks somewhat like your brown group. But like I said, it may...
It does look like a boy. Watch those legs, they do look a little greenish. That is something I cull for that crops up now and then, maybe 1 in 20-30 chicks. Unfortunately you don't have the option of culling too heavily.
An interesting side note, I butchered a green legged campine once. I...
Have you asked them what they included? Or if they even have silver campine? I wasn't aware they had them. You might want to go through the list of breeds on their website, on the other hand I'm sure they have birds that aren't listed.
I've never seen a campine chick with a white head, only the typical marbled look. In fact, goldens and silvers are quite similar and easily mixed up until they start to feather out. The first time I saw silver chicks I thought there was a mistake and I had gotten goldens by mistake. I...
Type comes first when evaluating and underline seems to be too frequently ignored. Do you have a copy of the standard? If you have a decent body the "paint" comes later. I also like to see nice width to the chest.
The main thing is reading the standard and having a mental image of what you...
I have eggs (well in another couple of days). The hens were playing footsie with a Polish roo a couple of weeks ago. So they were moved to a more secure run
I can tell you that a WCB Polish roo over a SC hen gives you mostly blackish chicks with only slightly enlarged nostrils. The four...
Wisher,
I'm about a week away from the silvers being ready to go. I separated them and culled down to my favorite roo and hens about two weeks ago.

Go to the bottom of the page, there are goldens and silvers pictured.

However, it's not always easy and I find they can be easily mixed at hatch. But within a week they'll start to feather and then you can easily see the...
I have a good sized group of SC. Unfortunately DH has reported that the SC, the WCB polish to the right and the Icelandic to the left have been pen hopping at will. He has now located the pen weakness (inside the adjoining coops). As soon as those spots have been repaired and the requisite...
Canned corn.......................chicken crack!
Hi everyone, just trying to catch up with my threads. I've been off travelling for the last five months and have now settled back home. I need to clean out the brooders and grow out pens and get some eggs cooking!
DH (my chicken tender in my...
