    Sol2Go, Thanks for all of your very helpful photos! I appreciate that you talking about Cream Legbars being gold based. It seems that we often are talking both genetics and phenotypes in the same sentence and the words we use when talking about one cannot be used with the other and if we don't...

    Hi Mellcrowl! They are far too young to judge quality except for some obvious body defects like wry tail or similar. $29 seems very reasonable for the pair and I would grab them and grow them out. I think you can get a reasonable assessment on the females by about 6 months but the males I grow...

    Holy Moly--He is quite the Super Hero indeed. I am amazed at the healing power of chickens. He has bounced back remarkably well and quite the handsome fellow to boot!

    Absolutely some epistasis may be going on. I am sure there are all sorts of influences going on in this breed including something dampening the expression of the cresting gene but that's another conversation! The way I interpret the 'red' quote is that the homozygous reference was to adult...

    Due to line/breeding in breeding I had something happen that I think is just remarkable... I have my original CL hen from 2012 -- and in my mind she set the standard for the breed (pertaining to my needs and expectations - very blue eggs, plenty of them -- and the correct CL appearance for me...

    Hi CP- sorry I am so far behind in everything this year and you are just getting a response to a post from last month now, but I couldn't resist...I know why the Barred Rocks are calling you-I loved my BR female. She was one of my very first chickens and was a great layer and very nice to be...

    I remember reading a BYCer talking about pulling a chick from their rubbish heap, so it does happen. I think that sometime an egg sits on the periphery of the clutch and gets incubated at a cooler temperature so they naturally hatch a little later than the center ones. I hope Lucky turns out...

    Great photo and definitions, Thanks! The air cell increases over time as the egg loses moisture through the shell. So to me the quality of the egg is really an indication of how fresh it is more than anything else. I am collecting some eggs for hatching and always put them big end up for...

    Gosh Dee06 , he's pretty! I'm not great at bantams but I'm pretty sure he's an Old English Game Bantam (OEGB). If so, he may be dominant or recessive white and he might be hiding all sorts of genetics under the white including barring and dilution genes! I think you'll need to breed him and...

    Hi Dee06. It all depends on the male and if he is recessive white (c/c), dominant white (I/I) and whether he carries a copy or two of silver (S). So his breed is super important and the only way to know what you'll get will be to breed him to her, methinks. In general, if you have a recessive...

I had 2 chicks get stuck halfway through zipping.. I broke my rule since i though their problem was my fault not theirs. I had one girl...

    Wow, the body and eyeliner say girl, the top of the head and neck say boy. I would be very confused, too. It seems to me that we are seeing quite a few JR line chicks that are very pale and washed-out and ambiguous to sex. I recently sold a little cockerel to a lady who had purchase CL Pullet...

    Hi Kimberly. I hope you feel better soon! The girls are typical brownish/tannish wild type chicks with a very distinctive dark brown stripe that starts with a 'V' at the beak and runs all the way to the rump. There are cream/tan colored chipmunk stripes that run on either side of the dark...
