I have 2 chickens that I have no idea the breed to. I can’t tell if they are multiple kinds or one. The first image is of my rooster. He has no spurs, a rose comb and is multicolored. He has the same base colors as my hen who is much smaller than him. The second image is of my hen. As you can...
Hi, I'm wondering what breed/color of roo would be needed to obtain blue color chicks from a black sex link hen. Is this even possible???? I love my black sex links but because they are hybrids I would love to develop my own line that lays well, is a good forager, meatier (would like to use...
I have a four-week-old rosetta Coturnix quail roo with Celadon (blue egg laying) genes. He is from a breeder that has only birds with the Celadon gene, from two different lines, so he should be homozygous for the gene.
He has just started crowing and producing foam. I have handled him every day...
hi ,
I’ve kept my poultry just over a year and have started doing some showing, have had my first wins and just thought I’d share pictures of some of my flock. I breed Black and Blue Cochin large fowl. Any advice greatly appreciated as I’m still trying to get my feet :)
Thank you
Is it possible? I was browsing through some pictures on Google and came across what was labeled as a Khaki Campbell, but his head feathers had a blue sheen instead of a green sheen.

Approximately 7 week old cochin from Ideal Hatchery. I traded some birds with another person, they received this in a rare breed package. Would you say this is blue or splash. Seems to splotchy to be blue but not quite splash either, or will the coloring even out as it grows older?
Any...

Hi guys, I bought this chick from Tractor Supply and it was labeled as a Silver Laced Wyandotte which is CLEARLY not the case :rolleyes: Does anyone have any clue what this little lady might be? She’s a large fowl bird.
Alright folks, tractor supply strikes again... March 2 I got three blue Andalusians and I ended up with two pullets and one cockerel. All with bare shanks, the cockerel has developed VERY rapidly (think around double the size of the pullets at this age), super dark wash on his toes/legs, yellow...
I have two (2 week old) blue chicks, one has a black comb, their feet are grey and their soles are pinkish-yellow, and one had white tips on her wings. They are bigger than my Dominique chicks (they are the same age).
Any ideas of what they might be?

I got this 'Blue laced red Wyandotte' chick from the store. Lady had Black laced and apparently this one was the last "blue". As she is feathering out, I cant help but see black. Is this blue or black?
The down seems blue, and it almost looks like it is blue, but its so dark it really seems...
With the success of our first hatch with barnyard mixes, we have decided to try and hatch some BLR Wyandotte chicks. After they’ve hatched they all do not appear the same color. Researching the forums here and other sites, I see they can be splash and black as well. My question is, would the be...
So I recently received my Meyer Hatchery order which included a Meyer meal maker and 2 rare assorted...so 3 mystery chicks. I identified one right away as silver laced Wyandotte as I am familiar with those. The other 2 I am not sure. I'd love some help .The blue chick has dark legs but pink...
I couldn't resist... Grabbed another couple EEs. Its an addiction i tell you.
Anyways, I'm trying to nab some blue-ish EEs. While this chick below is clearly a brownish red color, I couldn't help but notice the blue/gray down on the shoulders. Does down ever hint at adult colors? Will she sport...
