well, my oegb are all gone now. sorry to see them go, but i needed the breeding pen space more... enjoy your oegb's.

ok, well, the swap went well for all the birds i took. except the oegb... had people trying to talk me out of them for next to nothing. nope. if i can't get at least $5 a bird, i'll keep them. so they'll stay for a while. until someone makes a better offer. so they went into one of my...

depends on the roo. i left my 2 broodies with their roo, they hatched out 16 and he was great until day 2 or 3. then he started snatching and shaking the chicks. he got booted pretty quick. didn't kill any, but i wasn't going to take the chance either.

just thought i'd post a note here, if anyone's in the sw virginia area... I've decided to thin the flock a bit, and my oegb are all now for sale. I've got 3 crele pullets and 2 crele roosters available - one isn't true crele, he's a blue barred gold duckwing, but bred to crele hens will...

interesting to note... we're one of only a few countries that still allow tail docking and ear cropping on dogs... with cock fighting banned, why does this persist?

i can't bring myself to dub any of my own... besides, i don't show them and i like their combs...

ok refresh my memory? i know Di is dilute, Ml = melanized, but what is Ar+? I know from researching, that the + means it's not a mutation but part of the 'normal' genome, and being capitalized, the 'normal' is dominant... there are WAY too many chicken mutations/alleles to keep track of. LOL

actually, it is a duckwing variety, the SOP states it, the description i pasted is from the 'modern' description of a colored dorking. not the SOP description (which makes no mention of any red at all). most colored dorkings i've seen don't even have the hackle striping described in SOP or the...

ok, i'm finding oeg breeders seem to have a more solid grasp of genetics than any other group of breeders, in general. here's an odd question maybe. what mutations would be involved, to create the following line? pasted from the breed description. this is different than the SOP specifies for...

lol yup. kinda wishing i'd kept him now. LOL going back sunday to see if my friend's got any more that i can't resist. LOL would you believe that speckle and the other crele roo are bestest buddies? i would have never guessed that.

he could still be blue *something* the blue gene doesn't make the bird entirely blue, but turns whatever feathers would normally be black into blue. not a great pic but here's my barred blue breasted gold duckwing roo ... he's in a serious moult right now so nothing looks 'right' with him...

ok good to know. i'm still new to oegb naming schemes. every breed has something different i think my primary breed is dorkings. they have silver grey (silver duckwing), red (bbr) and colored (messed up LOL). the colored dorking looks basically like a gold duckwing with striped hackles for...

i thought a silver blue would be a blue breasted silver duckwing... I have a couple of these chicks (no idea on sex yet), from silver duckwing hen and barred blue breasted gold duckwing roo. i've had several others in the past and they were very attractive, but i can't find the pics. edit...

true chocolate is a sex linked recessive that turns black to brown. dun however is a variation on the same locus as dominant white, and acts much like blue in the dilution of color, but produces shades of brown, rather than blue/grey. i+/i+ = wild type (no changes) I/I = recessive white...

yeah i see that now. the primary difference is the 'extra' mutations shown at the bottom. if you go to the base link those are removed. depends if you're breeding silkie/frizzle/creeper/etc or just want the basic colors listed.

the link you posted had all of the changes to the basic genome you'd made... this is the basic calculator prior to any mutations being added. http://kippenjungle.nl/kruising.html i use this frequently, to refresh my memory of what mutations are on which loci.

crele is technically barred bbr. some people get odd when you call a non-bbr with barring crele, but... ignoring the barring, which will breed true with them all, red x red = red. red roo x silver hen = red pullets and gold cockerels. not that it applies to you, but just for fyi, if you...

he is homozygous for barred... to date i've had about 30 chicks from him (only a few pure oegb, the rest mutts) and ALL of them are barred. the pure oegb chicks i've had the silver barred cockerel, had 2 very red barred pullets (no cockerels tho, so i don't know if they're bbr) and another...

well, bred to a silver duckwing hen, i have gotten silver before, so maybe he's a gold-blue-barred (gold being heterozygous for silver?) but i've also gotten red pullets, so i know he's ... something? LOL lost both chicks from the last hatch, got a few more eggs due thursday. oldest...

wow. took some digging but i found the oegb thread. 8) I'll have to get some pics of my guys to put up. I haven't had time to read all... 236 pages. lol it'll take me a while for sure. anyways, I've got a few, not many. i've got a silver duckwing hen, several crele pullets and cockerels...
