    What colour is my Pekin/Cochin Bantam Rooster?

    Hi Everyone, I am curious what colour my 7 month old rooster could throw to his offspring. I was told he is a Cuckoo but I'm not sure if that means blue/black base colour or how it all works when it comes to Cuckoo/Barred in a Pekin. Thank you!

    Unique colours this time

    Got a bunch of unique and New (to me) colours in my most recent hatch. They're growing into their colours quite nicely. I have mostly no idea whether they're Male or Female... one or two I have ideas. These are just a sampling from the 26 in the last clutch.

    Hello everyone, my silkies are growing up now and i’ve noticed that 2 of them actually have a pink comb and wattle, or a mixture between. Silkies are supposed to have the purple/black colouring i thought. Has anyone come across this or know why? On a side note, can anyone tell me the colour of...

    Welsh Harlequin Colour Phase

    Hey! Wondering if anyone had any insight as to which colour phase my 5 week old Welshies are. Also any guesses on sex? The lighter one had the pinker bill as a baby (breeder said this isn't very accurate with her ducks) and is much louder than the other who has yet to make any noise other...

    Chocolate Genetics

    Hi, I’ve just had 8 ducklings hatch out of a 3-year-old hen that I bred. I was quite surprised by the variety I got and after reading the colour genetic article, can’t seem to make sense of it. Details: blue hen sitting on a nest of mixed eggs coming from her, her blue sister, her black and...

    What colour Pekin will this chick become?

    Hi all, My first time hatching eggs produced a single super cute Pekin chick. I put 6 eggs (delivered via post) under my broody hen - and thanks to people on BYC found many answers here. He’s currently known as George until old enough to confirm a gender :D and is 6 days old. The egg that...

    What colour is my marans pullet??

    Hi all, I got given a little cross beak chick for free about 6 months ago. The breeder initially wasn’t sure what she was as she was in the pekin pen, but suspected she may actually be a marans. Fast forward to now and she’s definitely a marans, I just would love to know what her colour is...

    Polish rooster - what colour would you call this ?

    Hi, so I have this guy… supposedly a white crested Cuckoo Polish but he obviously has another colour tone mixed in. My questions: Is their a name for this colour pattern ? If I breed to a standard white crested cuckoo hen am I going to get gold colour leakage ?

    Rooster changed from black and white to white

    Hello, first post but I have been reading the forum for a couple of years now. I wanted a rooster to sort out the hens from fighting and give some protection from predators. Breed was not important, I had to buy what I could get locally. He's a nice bird, not aggressive with people, takes good...

    What Colour is my Coturnix Quail?

    Hi all back once again. this is my third (and HOPEFULLY final) post regarding Cookie, one of my stunted quail. He’s pretty much gotten all of his plumage sans for a few around his eyes, but I’m hoping that’s finally enough to determine just what exactly he is. Diluted pharaoh, german pastel...

    What colour is my rooster?

    Hello all, I live in the uk and managed to get this cute little showgirl rooster. (I believe he's more of a smooth coat type as isn't fluffy like most) however, the most intriguing part is his coat colour. Although his punky hair do, on his head is all mucky(I will be giving him a hair wash...
