I hatched some chicks that are now 12 weeks old. In unsure of the sex on two of them. One of the chickens in question is a light brahma and the other is a cross between a light brahma and partridge cochin. I couldn't get good pic of the crossbred chicken's tail so I'll try again tomorrow.
Like in previous post I am again having problems sexing Sussex chickens, I recently hatched 7 out of 10 eggs. These chicks are now 4-5 weeks old and are a cross between Light Sussex and a ISA Brown and Black hen. I do not know specifically who the mother is of which chick as they all look pretty...
Hey guys, first day as a real member of the BYC community, been a lurker for years. Joined literally just to ask this question. lol. Attaching pics of the rooster and hens. The only Lavender hen isn't laying quite yet, so all the babies will be a crossbreed. Has anyone done this particular cross...
Kiwi is a young pullet cross of a buff orp rooster and a columbian wyandotte. She is going to be smaller than her mama and has no butt. I love her, one of my favorite crosses I’ve hatched so far 😍
Hello, I am wondering what will happen if I cross my RIR rooster back with some of my sex link hens. Will the hens that come out, lay just as big eggs or will they not lay very much at all.
I think I may have my first rooster. We usually get sexed chicks but wanted a Mille fleur d’uccle. We have 16 other breeds in our flock. I would love to try to hatch some eggs but I don’t know where to start & have so many questions.
Can this little guy breed with other, larger breeds?
Will I be...
Okay, so I have something fun to share!
I have a rooster that is a silkie crosses with a blue laced red Wyandotte! And I gave him to a friend that has pure bred black copper Marans, and they gave me a few hatching eggs after about a month! This is where it gets interesting! If you look at the...
Hi.
Can you tell me if these two mixed chicks are cockerels or pullets? The bigger one, with spots on the chest is around six weeks old and kinda looks like a pullet to me, even though in its first three weeks of life it looked like a cockerel. I think it's a mix between light brahma X silver...
Hey everybody, new to Backyard Chickens and Chickens in general. Seeking some advice on one of my girls/boys.
After doing a bit of research I'm wondering why my silkie has a pink/red comb and wattles? Does this mean he/she is a cross breed. From what I've read its very unlikely for silkies to...
Just curious if anyone has ever crossed a BLR wyandotte with a silkie? My BLR wyandotte I am pretty sure is a cockerel. I got my fist white silkie and my BLR wyandotte this spring.
But I can't stop thinking about what the chicks would look like from them. They are both so cute! I need to take...
Hi guys I wanted to know what the best crossbreed chickens you think are and what are the parents, i am after looks more then there egg laying or meat if you have any please tell me the combo.
I got a dozen eggs from a friend and 10 out of 12 are fertile and have hatched. I don't know what breeds she has but some lay light blue to light pale green eggs and I think there was a silver leghorn rooster also that I saw but I'm not 💯 percent sure. It definitely looked like it though. Had...
Hey All!
We have been proud chicken owners for a couple years but a few weeks ago decided to incubate and hatch eggs from our coop for the first time! We have one Rooster, an Ayam Cemani. We started with 6 eggs, so far 3 have hatched and 2 are Piping (at day 22). I would love any insight...
Hi I’m looking into many different breeds of ducks and really can’t decide on just one breed so are there any really cool cross breeds for egg production and beauty?
Hi,
These two roosters are 11 months old. Got them from someone not very knowledgeable on chicken breeds.
Do you have any idea about what breed they might be? Especially the black one.
The black one looks like a Marans, but it has this silvery-yellow leakage and the one with white I suspect is a...
I've got 3 babies that are 4 weeks old. They are full size chicken breeds, but hatched by a Silkie mama. When the Silkie went broody I gave her the 3 eggs, but not sure of which hen they came from. (I have numerous breeds.) I have one Buff Orpington rooster, so I know who the dad is. I am...
Before I start: This is all under the assumption that what I think I know is true, that silver is a dominant sex-linked trait, and turns gold/red color white. Hopefully that is true.
I have a 12 week old pullet that is bred from an EE hen and a Lakenvelder rooster. All of her feathers are white...
