OK! Seriously now! I have completely lost faith in TSC for chicks. Now, I LOVE Tractor Supply. But no longer for chicks. I know some people swear by them and others don't trust them at all. I am beginning to think that the company needs to stop using different hatcheries at each of their stores...
Hi all, I’m pretty certain that 4 of these are White Leghorn/Cream Legbar crosses, then the fifth one I’m totally unsure of!
Any idea of sex?
Also any idea of breed of the odd one out?!
I have a cream legbar cockerel, an Appenzeller cockerel, a pekin bantam cockerel and a serama bantam cockerel...
So I'm completely new to chicken genetics and was looking up how olive egger chickens come to be. I know if you have a marans rooster and a blue egg laying hen like an ameraucana or legbar you can hatch out an olive egger. I was curious what you would get with a blue laced red wyandotte...
hey all. I’m looking to raise some meat birds. I have a huge variety of breeds - I love the wide range of colors and sizes. I was thinking about starting with several Cochin hens I have that are huge. Just not sure I’d like their meat. (I’ve heard they are really dark.)
I raised some Cornish...
i wanna see your crossed birds! I love chickens! Currently hatched out a bunch of Cochin crosses! Few Cochin x polish few white leghorn x Cochin a few regular Cochin
For quite a while, I've tossed around this idea of crossing a sebright, d'uccle, OEGB, and serama together to create the "perfect bantam mutt". The results of this cross would be exactly 1/4 sebright, 1/4 d'uccle, 1/4 OEGB, and 1/4 serama. However, until today, I had only one of the chickens...
I recently hatched 8 chicks in an incubator and since I don’t know much or really anything about genetics, I was wondering if anyone could help me out. What should I be expecting with these crosses such as sex links, general coloring etc?
The roosters are one of the following two,

Has anyone done this with hens and a non yokohama roo? What did you get? I thought I had a pair (white yokohama) but I'm leaning towards 2 hens now. If I cross them with say a black copper maran roo will the males get the long tails or no? I'm not seeing anything on crosses yet.
