I’m new to breeding and back in November I hatched two different blue roosters from pure BBS hatching eggs. Why is one of them so light? Can the lighter one still be used for breeding or is he a mistake with BBS and should just stick to EE and OE breeding for him. Also what causes the extreme...
I have a white goose (Sebastopol) who was sold as a lavender gosling to her previous owner. She ended up feathering out white. Upon purchasing her I contacted the breeder and found out she had a pen of solid lavenders (should be 100% lav offspring?), and a pen with white and lavender mixed to...
Hi!! :D
its my first time raising chickens and these are my five good girls! Now that i‘ve had them for 4 weeks (I suspect they might actually be 5 weeks old). A family member got them for me from ts. Supposed to be all pullets. I’ll let you guys be the judge! Good news, roosters are allowed in...
Hi!
I just purchased some PBBE chicks and I am new to them.
I was wondering if you all could share photos of your adults so I can see the different color varieties they come in. 😊
I got a white one with a few small black spots and a solid black one.
Please and thank you!
Hello, I keep coturnix and button quails, love both and they are awesome little buddies :) I wanted to know if you can keep coturnix and blue scaled quail together in an aviary which is about 6 wide x7 wide x12 high feet. Or can they be kept with chickens? My coturnix are separate from the...
Hi all!
I have a couple silkie roosters I am looking to rehome- my flock is too small to keep all of them. I hatched them in August, and they’ve now started mating. If anyone is interested I’m located in the Newburyport, MA area. Photos attached!
Sadly, our girl, Margo, is in need of a new home (she's in Phoenix, AZ). She just turned three years old, and she's a great layer when not molting - She leaves us the most beautiful pale blue eggs. She's just about finishing her current molt - You can still see some of the pin feathers that...
Hi everyone, I just hatched some blue Wyandotte chicks and some of them are almost a lavender color and the others are black. Why is this? Will the light ones grow up to be lavender in color or will they get darker?
Does anyone in western WA raise and sell Blue Partridge Brahmas? Id love to get a cockerel for my future breeding. I'll consider chicks, older birds and even hatching eggs. Please feel free to message me for more details. I'm hoping to find a local breeder.
So.. I’ve been scouring and still can’t find a clear answer.. I’ve raised chooks before but this will be our first attempt at breeding and I want to get it right..
Why is it that you don’t want to breed blue to lavender? Does it weaken genes? Is it just because of the colour they produce (if...
Bought these gray birds this summer from the farm store didn't record what breed they are. Great birds very calm id like to find more . they have stared laying. dark brown eggs would they be and Maran ?
Hi All!
I’m from San Martin, California and in April I took a Silkie that was hatched from a preschool and now I have an obsession. She ended up being a partridge hen and then I went and bought a blue rooster to have some fun! She has laid her very first three eggs as of Saturday so they are now...
We have a Blue Swedish hen, a Pekin hen, and had a Rouen and two Pekin drakes (the drakes are gone now).
Somehow, we ended up with 4 Black Swedish, 1 Blue Swedish, 2 Pekin, 1 Rouen, and 1 Rouen/Pekin looking ducklings.
My question is, how on earth did I end up with Black Swedish if we only...
19 days ago I received 8 mixed fertilized eggs through the post via Royal Mail.
I have 6 bantams & 2 Rhode Island reds but it was my black silkie ‘Jemima’ who has gone broody along with a tiny frizzle called Molly who has decided to share the incubation :eek:
I candled them a few days ago & a...
I have Two Black Copper Marans and One possible Easter Egger Roosters that I need to rehome. Hatched out on 5/1 and have been handled and socialized every since. They are good roosters and have a very pleasant personality.
When I purchased the eggs the breeder was looking to get any roosters...
I have 2 Show Quality Frizzled Cochin and Silkie mix roosters for sale. Born on June 9th, 2018. They both throw some beautiful offspring. Rooster #1 has 5 toes on one foot and he is the watchdog of my flock. He loves his hens and wants to protect them with his life!
Rooster #2 has 4 toes on...
Hey everyone,
