So.. I know of one person who has this particular cross among us. In time I am hoping I'll have a brood myself. I've ordered 3 Embden geese and 1 Roman Tufted gander. I'm probably not going to incubate, but let it happen naturally. Just wondering if anyone else has had any experience with this...

We have a very mixed flock, I was curious if I could get any insight on what...
So this was a shock. On the 9 of Dec i came home to four little ducklings sitting in my ducks nest and well three more hatched later and at that point I had seven and sadly one passed away due to health issues. Then some unknown illness took away three of my little ones and now I have three left...
My Ameraucana lays light brown eggs with tiny white spots (pictured) and has these two single distinctive feathers on either side of her tail which I've never seen before. The bottoms of her feet are yellow and she so has a few darker feathers. She's also slightly aggressive towards people and...
I had made an account here to ask about my sick hen (who is doing very well now, I really appreciate these forums!), and I got to questioning what breed she really is. The guy running the feed store who sold us our chickens said that he had Australorp, Rhode Island Red, and Ameraucana chicks...
I have 3 silver grey Dorking pullets. But no rooster. I have a brown leghorn rooster which I want to breed with them. I just have the following questions.
How would the offspring look like?
Would any chicks have 5 toes?
Otherwise how long or how many generations would it take to breed back to...
I am aware that cockerels are a dime a dozen, but I wanted to make these boys available to anyone willing to rehome them. They were hatched out by a broody hen in our backyard, but the eggs came from a mixed flock of all pure breed hens and two roosters. There were two roosters in that flock...
I had 6 chicks hatch this week. They are a cross between a Blue Maran rooster (brown egg) and an Easter Egger Hen (light green egg). They are only a few days old and I am curious if anyone else has a similar cross and what did the offspring's egg color turn out to be? I was hoping to make some...
So my girls are starting to lay and I'm hoping to start a breeding project to learn more about genetics. Here's what I have to work with:
Easter Egger
Sapphire Olive Egger (Hens only)
Amberlink (Hens only)
Prairie Bluebell Egger (Hens only)
Australorp
Maran
Orpington
Wyandotte
Brahma (Hens Only)...
I'm just super excited so I made a thread! My girls just stared laying and I popped one egg in the bator and it pipped this morning! It's from my Sapphire Olive Egger (she doesn't lay green eggs but oh well) and most likely my White Japanese Bantam. It's pipped at the wrong end but I've had eggs...
I might buy this chicken and I’m wondering your guesses on what breed it is. It seems to have a pea comb so thinking ameraucana cross or brahma cross. I don’t see a beard but can an Ameraucana cross not have a beard? I’m really hoping it would lay a coloured egg but if it’s leaning more towards...
Does anybody have any Liege Fighter cross projects to share? Mine are about 4-5 months old at this point. The 1st 2 and last 2 pictures are the same bird. I thought it was funny that he had the red forehead like the full blooded red and black Lieges I have as a chick but got white eyebrows like...
Ok so I have a small serama hen that just started laying. I have one silkie rooster that is very nice to her. I was hoping to they could match up! Is it possible? Or will the silkie rooster be too big for her? He tried once but she sounded panicked. Anyone have any experience they could share...
I can find no recent information or research online regarding turkey pheasant hybrids. There are some historical articles, however, nothing seems to indicate the ability as of recent inquiries.
Well, here we have a turkey pheasant hybrid incubated from a egg we took from our blue slate hen. We...
Hi! We have now four broody hens. I was wondering if anyone has crosses of the following:
White Maran (H) x Black Andalusian
Welsummer (H) x Black Andalusian
Frost White Legbar (H) x Black Andalusian
Olive Egger (H) x Black Andalusian
I’m interested to see whether anyone has examples of these...
Just acquired a few new 7-8 week olds to my flock and I'm questioning the breeds. I was told the left 2 are Starlight Green Eggers, middle is a buff Orpington, next is unknown or possibly Golden Comet, and last is BR which is obvious. The buff looks nothing like my 2 buffs so I don't think she's...
I’m interested in hatching chicks. I was hoping to cross my white leghorn roo with my ameurucanas. Does anyone have experience with this? Will the eggs still be colored? Would they still have the fluffy beards? I was just curious about traits and things...
Hi guys i was wondering if anybody could help me. I’ve recently bought 2 black silkie hens but they only seem to have 4 toes (on each foot). Does this mean they are crossed with something else?
If I were to put them with a silkie cockerel and hatched some eggs would the offspring have 5
Toes...
