I found this peacock for sale.. but I would like to know more about its color and its breed
Is it Cameo? and is it pure Indian Peafowl?
The seller have no idea about it and he is not familiar with Peafowl.
Your help is appreciate..
Do any of you know of any resources on Cayuga genetics, specifically color genetics. I found a post a few weeks ago that talked about needing to select for more than just one gene in order to get really colorful birds but I can't find it now.
After three years one of my geese finally managed to hatch out a clutch. Toulouse female and male, she had 8 eggs, 7 hatched, 6 made it out all the way and are surviving. I noticed that two of the surviving and the one that didn’t make it have pink feet and beak and the grey feathers are...
Hello All,
I have some EEs in the brooder. 3 weeks old. This one has a different feather pattern than the other 2 girls. Could this pattern indicate a cockerel? The first pic is the one in question. The second is the pullet.Egger, Feather,
Wanted to know what you guys thought of one of the new editions, Chips! I've asked when she hit 4 weeks and 5 weeks, pretty sure she's a pullet still but I also wanted to ask what coloration she could be and is she considered a short legged japenese bantam? I really can't tell lol
Currently...
I know it's very hard to tell exactly what color it will be and I know I wont get a 100% accurate answer, but so far it doesn't look like any of the options I thought it would be based on the parents. I'm hoping to just get some guesses.
The father is a dominant white rooster with red leakage...
So I was fortunate enough to stumble upon a batch of self blue OEGBs at the feed store the other day (TOP thing on my list this season, I still can't get over my luck!) and while I happily grabbed some gorgeous silver babies, I also couldn't help but fall for this little oddball. (That pink beak...
so I'm getting a flock from someone local.
roosters: silver and wheaten
hens: silver, black, and blue wheaten
what colors could I possibly get if I put the silver roo in with the hens vs if I used the wheaten?
I thought she was blue, but I’m kind of new to chickens, so I really don’t know what color hen 1 is. hen 2 give the appearance of being chocolate but has white tips on some feathers and white feathers on her feet.
both were hatched in 2021
This is Chrissy my frizzled bantam cochin pullet I got as an extra egg with silkie eggs I bought. Now she just kinda lives with my silkies and 2 other non-silkie hens.
I believe she is a black with gold leakage, but she has a couple white tips on her foot feathers. Is that some kind of leakage...
Just saw this silkie roo for sale. What color is he? I might consider getting him if he would work with my girls. If not I might get a blue one from the same listing. The one in front. Is he a splash?
This is my 14 week old silkie pullet Smoky. Normal cuckoos should be darker right? Like with dark black stripes. Some lady once told me she is a chocolate cuckoo, but she doesn't look too brown besides a slight brownish hue on her back. I got a blue cuckoo (I think) from the same breeder.

I got these 10 as babies from a feed store. They told me they were Ameracaunas, however, I know many times they are not true. Just curious if your thoughts if they are actually EE? Thank you!!
I have a two young silver duckwing bantam hens, 1 young silver duckwing bantam rooster,and I also have a young bb red bantam rooster. Can I cross my bb red with one of my silver duckwing hens to get a gold duckwing bantam? Thanks a ton!!
Hey there!
Just wanted to see what breed people think these girls are. I was told they were Ameraucanas, but when I picked them up the lady said they were Easter Eggers. Are they either, or do they look like something else? The tan/white one has more of a beard, and the blue/gray one has puffy...
I got my new ducklings! And they are absolutely GORGEOUS! I also have no idea what colours or patterns they'll be. But I wanted to share, as I am absolutely blown away by them.
Pardon the slightly out-of-focus shots of some, but these guys were not socialized and did not like being handled...
