From what I have been reading I think to get the silkied look, they'd have to have it from both sides. I bet the Cochin mixes will make a beautiful ball of fluff.
My guy is getting older and more handsome. What do you think? His tail feathers and foot feathers were picked out but are coming back since moved into a bigger coop.
These two grew up together and were the only two in the brooder for a long time. One is the Splash the other is an Easter Egger. I don't hold them but they are pretty good. If I am outside they pass on the duty of protection to me and eat. A hawk will fly over and they dont care because they...
I have a copper splash and he lets the other guy be in charge even thou he is bigger. They do everything together. I'm glad they don't fight but it's weird when they stand by and help out while the other is mating.
I have quite a few Marans. She will be fine in the layer flock. She is so darn cute. Even if she doesn't get much bigger. All of the slow growers I've had in the past, caught up. She might too.
I know this is a fuzzy picture but you can see thesize difference. These 2 Marans are the same age. 9 weeks. I've had runts and slow growers but never this big of a difference. Has anyone else ever had one this small ?
I got 4 Marans chicks in the mail. One is a Birchen but I don't know which. 2 are male and Black Copper. 2 are females but are still Black. One is very tiny and has a white spot on it's throat since it was a chick. It hasn't grown since it was 2-3 weeks old. Are Birchens smaller? Or maybe...
How is this guy for breeding? He is almost 7 months. His points were longer but he didn't want to sleep in the coop. His feet have more feathers but they get rubbed off.
Thanks, I will look for those things. This is very helpful. I have read but don't always understand what is meant. I am learning. Your explainations is great. He is young, I will watch his sides. His feet had a lot more feathers before all of the rain and mud. I will check his eyes and...
I see pictures all of the time but I don't know which are good and which are bad and there are almost 50000 posts on here to go thru. I thought someone might have a picture of some of theirs that have won shows that they were proud of and didn't mind sharing. I am new to breeding and I don't...
I have found a lot of pictures of black and Splash legbars online but I don't know which are the prefered. Could someone please post an example of a very good black rooster, hen and a splash rooster? I just need a reference. Thanks.
