Got 2 mystery eggs in a batch of Cochin eggs. They are all black like Cemanis and clearly have at least one fibromelanistic gene (one has a tiny bit of red around her neck), but they both have impressive crests! No substantial comb under all that poof, at least that I can feel. Their size and...
I was wondering if this could actually happen. My young rooster feels my guinea hen is ready to breed and has proceeded to try to mount her multiple times now but he’s so small compared to her that I have a feeling it will never be successful. I tried looking online to see if anyone has had such...
Mr. T is a sweet feather leg with gorgeous color - he was an adoption that I gave to my MIL after her old roo passed... put him together today with our wyandottes and just wondering what the babies would be crossed with?
Hello eveyone :) i purchased three bantam chicks a while ago and i am having a hard time sexing and identifying them. The seller said the were “yard bantam crosses”
Im hoping they are all pullets. They are about 5 or 6 weeks old i believe.
There is one that seems to be a barred bantam, one that...
I have a black Asian chicken who acts like a show bird and is super friendly she ain’t the prettiest but she’s adorable and hyper with big bot black eyes what will it look like crossed with a silkie?
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 have a Molted Black Cochin Frizzle Roo and thinking about breeding him with black and blue silkies. Good idea ? Bad Idea? And what do you think they will look like ? And info would be greatly appreciated!
I want to know if anyone has continuously crossed equal part chicken breeds. Like for example, a white Leghorn x Rhode island red cross with an buff orpington x barred rock, creating a 4 way cross. Then breeding that with another 4 way cross of different breeds. If anyone has pics that would be...
Bought this chicken a few months ago. It's around 6mths now. I know it came from a blue egg and it's part Ameraucana.. I've been trying to figure out the mix as I like the flat comb and the colors. It's a gd size so I'm thinking it might be mixed with brahma.
I only have 2 BTWJB and PCB Mix for now. Waiting for some more to hatch. I believe these two are a week or two old. The one in the second picture has a blackish/grey stripe on it and it Hatched first, the other one doesn't have a stripe. I believe the one without a stripe is a male, and other...
Wanted to know if anyone has bred silver duckwing bantam rooster and self blue hen together, what would they look like. Any pictures? Any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance!!
Hi guys, I'm new to byc and i have a question. You see, i have a trio of gold blacklaced cochin bantams and i also have a buff cochin bantam. All of which are purebred and pure in colour. What would i get if i crossed the buff hen to the gold blacklaced roo? And would i be able to tell the...
I just had 3 chicks hatch out, 2 Dominique x Buff Orpington and 1 Dominque x Easter Egger. The Dominique is the father. One of the Buff Orpington cross chicks is more yellow in the face and has a rose comb, the other is less so, smaller and has a single comb. I can't tell what kind of comb the...
Yes I know the emoji is a swan. There's no goose!
Matilda Jane , my 3ish month old embden goose seems to be developing a big underbite and a slight crossbill. I didn't notice any deformity at all when I got her, but it seems to be getting worse.
Anyone else experience this? Is there a...
So at the time I just had one Silver Laced Wyandotte Rooster, and 5 different breeds of hens. So I decided to hatch one of each to see the crosses. They're all awesome but I just wanted to share with you this awesome, adorable cross with you guys. The mom is a Porcelain D'uccle. Neither has any...
