Roo: Silver Laced
Hens: Golden laced, Silver laced, White, White crested black, and Buff laced

My black bantam cochin just hatched 9 chicks today. I had a lavender rooster, but I lost him a month ago. Do any of these chicks look like they could be lavender? Most of them look black to me but there are a few lighter ones that confuse me. I also have a calico rooster with a blue base so I...
I got this chick from a mixed color pen where there are 8 hens and 6 roos. Both BBS (andalusian) and Lavender lines are in the pen. This chick that I got was darker (a lot) than the obvious splashes and than the one lavender that was for sure a lavender that was in the mix, but was lighter (a...
This is a little Cochin chick I got today. The dad is lavender and looks to have the isabella partridge markings. Mom looks to be a silver laced cochin (maybe silver partridge? I have a hard time telling since some partridges I've seen have lacing and others don't) - just googled it actually and...
I thought he would have larger, nicer looking birds and be able to work with them more if he could be with them starting this year. Then I learned you could hatch fertilized eggs. I figured my daughter, 3, would also like
So I bought an incubator and then a dozen eggs. We bought Welsummer as...
Hi all! Just curious if anyone who has LO's can help me. We've bread from our Lav roo and two Lav hens a few times, but this is a first for us. Is it normal for some of the chicks to be black?? It's a lavxlav so it should breed true, right?? Am I missing something? Or will they lighten up over time?
I currently have two araucana chicks, one golden laced Wyandotte, and a Rhode Island Red chick. They are around one week old and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the 2 araucanas will look like when they grow up. Thank you
Also, in the second picture it doesn’t show it but she doesn’t...
Hello! I bought some LF Cochin chicks that I was told were barred, buff, and white. The barred is obvious. I think there are two buff, although one is darker than the other and might be red. However, the last one is stumping me!
She was yellow as a chick, and her feathers are growing in a...
This is one of the 2 easter eggers I just got, the other is striped the same way but with much darker fluff, I already have an idea of what the other one will look like but I was curious if anyone here knew about this one? Her head is a yellowish and her body is like a beige grey with the brown...
Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right thread for this but here I go.
About a month ago I hatched a white silkie chick who I suspect to be a roo, and in the last week I realized his neck feathers turned into a peachy-lemon color, and he has a bunch of pin feathers on the same color on his...
