I have a pullet who is a ‘Midnight Majesty Marans’, but her comb is way darker than her two ‘sisters’ combs. They have a reddish comb, but she has a pitch black comb still. She is 16 weeks old, and hatched in early February. I included a picture. Any good ideas on what could be going on?
This is a side project I have been wanting to do for a few months. I got an Ayam Cemani rooster back in October from friends, because he was aggressive. This rooster kinda kicked off the whole rabbit hole of chicken genetics for me. Since I am going to breed chickens anyways I might as well...
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...
We are almost moved up to the homestead where I'll have full control over my flock and my breeding pens. I'm really excited for my breeding plans this year.
One of my long-term projects is an auto-sex zombie. I'm building from scratch using my current flock: Paint Ameraucana, Cream Legbar...
Looking to create a fibro naked neck. If I breed a black turken hen to an ayam cemani rooster, would I get a NN ayam cemani?
Also, if my ayam cemani rooster has leakage, would it alter the color of the offspring?

Hey all. I just got 2 frizzle fibro Easter Eggers and I'm wondering how to sex them.
The farm we got them from say "First generation should get their fibro from their dad given to female offspring only" so they think they are female and didn't sex them.
Is that true? We have always had...
These six gentlemen are from spring hatches and are just so pretty!
They need flocks of their own, if you’re interested text Liz at 205-613-4580
I also have 2 “twin” Easter Egger hens from the same hatch and am willing to sell them as hen&rooster pairs.
Hi all. We are starting a fibro broiler project and are looking for advice. We intend to use Svart Hona, a slightly stockier (and winter-hardy) fibro breed than the more popular Ayam Cemani; they top out at 5-7lbs, vs the Cemani 3.5-5.5lbs.
However, that's adult weight, not butchering weight...
I was missing the "high" of chicken tending now that I'm back at work and decided to set 18 eggs at the beginning of Feb. Hatch day was yesterday, and of course I got called in to work, so I have no idea who came out of what egg, but so far there are 12 puffballs running around the brooder. I'm...
Hey all! Just wanted to share pictures of my Fibro X Columbian Project crossbreed as I've yet to see many like this!
Have more eggs hatching soon and will have further updates on the varieties included - but so far I've hatched this BEAUTIFUL black skinned but mostly white feathered cross from...
I have an Ayam Cemani Rooster that I just put in with my laying hens. I have made sex link chicks from my Ayam Roo and Barred Rock he and am now wondering if I can make sex links crossing my Ayam Cemani Roo with my 55 Flower Hen and my Crested Cream Legbar hen...
I gave my Ayam Cemani hens a...
I've just been using (slightly)educated guesses on who to pair up to get a white chicken with black skin. Ive only been successful a couple times and it seems to be a random thing that is difficult for me to reproduce. If anyone has some advice or can share experience it would be very helpful...
