    Longterm Crossbreeding Project of Brahma, Polish, Silkie, Ayam Cemani, Araucana and Malay

    So this project has been in the works since October 2024 when I acquired an Ayam Cemani rooster. I thought it would be very fun and interesting to breed him to completely other purebred types of chicken. So I tried to think of representatives for different genetics or groups of chicken. These...

    Producing my own crosses

    A lot of people were hating on other breeders that cross their chickens with other breed. Here is my opinion: As long as you are treating your chickens right (by providing their basic necessities) and breeding to create chickens with distinct characteristics like for more meat, eggs, color...

    My plan on chicken crossbreeding

    My target traits for the lineage that I am developing are: black meat, black feathers, not a flyer, 2kg above average weight, docile, enhance broodiness, and resistant to the diseases and weather here in the Philippines. My idea would be breeding my WL x N x AC x CS cockerel to my BA pullet and...

    Plymouth rock Roo x RIR

    Hello, I really want a Rock rooster, i was wondering if i breed him with RIR hens if the characteristics would be similar to black star minus the sex link. I dont care what they look like, I just want them to be good layers, not broody and hopefully not die in 3 years

    Can Cornish X breed?

    So I have two Cornish X pullets that have been squatting for 1-2 months now. They haven't laid but my Barred Rock rooster has successfully bred with them many times. I'm wondering if anyone has successfully bred Cornish X because I've read they have bad hatch rates.

    New to ducks…

    Hello! Have had chickens for the past 4 years. We decided to add some ducklings (uh.muh.gawd!!💖). We got 2 Cayuga (1m, 1f) -breeding pair. Wondering if we can add Welch Harlequins (1m,1f) next? If I do 2 mating pair, will they stick with their mates or try to interbreed?

    Is this an albino chicken, or just missing some color gene?

    This cutie was born "highlighter yellow" as my 6yo described... then, had very slight patch of very light brown on both wings, but then grew into this solid white coloring, which I keep waiting to see some other coloring appear, but none--so, now that our clutch is 11 weeks old--I just thought...

    OEGB x Large fowl?

    I’m thinking about starting a small breeding project. My end goal would be something with the hardiness, personality, and smarts of OEGB, but larger in size (still smaller than average large fowl), larger eggs, and less aggressive roosters. The first two chickens I got were OEGB mixed with some...

    What could I expect my chicks to look like...

    So, while my babies are still just 4.5 weeks old and I'm impatiently waiting to post new photos of my suspected cockerel... now I'm coming to terms that Caramel may indeed be a boy (his crest is soooo pink). What would be any interesting/fun characteristics of a Golden Laced Wyandotte rooster...

    Producing Calico Silkies

    I saw an old thread about calico silkies. The birds seemed to be splash silkies with red feathers mixed in. The pictures i saw portrayed very beautiful birds, and i wonder how they're produced. Do you breed splash and partridge together? Do you cross silkies and another breed together? I'd love...

    Crossbreeding For Better Survival

    Hello! As my name suggests, my favorite breed of chicken is the Egyptian Fayoumi. There's one problem with my obsession. My place of residence is in Idaho. As you might know, Fayoumi are much better for hot weather, as opposed to cold weather. But I can work my way around this by crossbreeding...
