    Does anyone know what the chicks would look like from a cross between the two Chanteclers; partridge over white? (Hope that's the correct terminology?) Thanks in advance! :)

    Any Chance of Fertility?

    Recently we unexpectedly lost our favorite silkie rooster. He was absolutely perfect in type and my favorite color, splash. We affectionately called him Splish the splash silkie. When we lost Splish, we lost the ability to breed him. Our hens and roosters are kept separately from one another...

    Would this work? (Collecting eggs for hatching from 2 roosters & the same hens)

    I have a plan and a single pen for 2 different breeding projects. The same hens (I might take away some hens if I'm not looking for chicks from them from a specific roo), 2 diifferent roos.

    Will he get the hang of it?

    I have a 6 month old silkie cockerel. I've decided he is my keeper. I'm obviously keeping him for breeding purposes, so the fact he can't figure out how to mount hens is a little concerning. I'm not super worried yet, as he is only 6 months old and I only need to hatch chicks from him in 3-4...

    Producing my own crosses

    A lot of people were hating on other breeders that cross their chickens with other breed. Here is my opinion: As long as you are treating your chickens right (by providing their basic necessities) and breeding to create chickens with distinct characteristics like for more meat, eggs, color...

    Would a BBS + paint pen be possible?

    I want to work towards BBS + paint in my silkies. I don't actually have a desire to breed splash right now, so it would be black, blue and paint. From my understanding if I bred a black rooster with my black, blue, blue cuckoo and paint hens I would get: Black, blue, cuckoo (males only), blue...

    Black Splash??

    Okay so I looked to try to find an answer but I can’t! I understand some of the genetics of blue-splash-black but I’m still a bit lost. I purchased three silkies from a blue splash Silkie breeding trio. I saw the trio myself and they were in fact beautiful splash silkies. All three chicks I...

    Mixed Orpington Pen

    Hi, I have a broody hen in a mixed orpington pen and curiosity. This is the first year we have had any roosters, so this is the first time they could hatch chicks! The babies will either be used for meat or kept for eggs - so the coloring is not especially important to us. We are very excited...

    Runners about to hatch out of coop

    Our favorite runner (the only friendly one) made her nest outside the coop and I decided to just leave her be. Thing is, we’ve had a bad drought since she started sitting and the pond is nasty and nearly empty - I don’t want her taking babies in there. I’ve also been reading that they often...

    Ameraucana Breeding Conundrum. Input?

    I would like to breed Ameraucanas (not Easter Eggers, not Americanas), but I have recently read that the offspring resulting from an Ameraucana of one color bred to an Ameraucana of a different color will not be a true Ameraucana, but instead an Easter Egger. Why? How? If that is the case, even...
