I just brought home 26 hatchlings! I am over the moon happy. I paid a lady to incubate them and she rocked it out of the park.
My rooster is a paint ameraucana EE with autosomal red + lavender split. Hens are BYC unless listed below.
11 of the chicks are paints - 6 are black spotted, the other...
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...
I ordered 6 chicks (Olive Eggers and Lavender Orpingtons) and then I picked out 3 chicks in a bin with 9 different varieties. I picked all grey/blackish ones. The grey ones could be Sapphire Gem, Americauna, Barred Rock or Specialty Brown layer, or maybe I actually picked more lavender...
I currently have a Buff and Lavender Orp Hen. Looking to add a Roo either Buff or Lav. Can anyone tell me what color chicks I would get by mixing the two colors? Would love to see some pictures!
Hi I got this drake and I’ve always just called him blue but recently I was told he is a Lavendar. Which is blue with brown dilution I was told. What are your thoughts? Please look at all the pictures before making a judgment call.
I’m super excited if he is indeed Lavendar.
It's the middle of March and the plants are popping out of the ground. I have Chives and Oregano coming up all over. I divide the chives up and plant around the outside of the coop and run. The Oregano spreads out along the run. The girls keep it trimmed and spreads like crazy.
I have three big...
I’m a fairly new chicken mother. My mom got me hooked. The black chick in the pictures came from Tractor Supply when I noticed all the other chicks pecking all the meat off of it’s toes. When it’s foot healed up I got the chick a lavender friend, and they have been smitten with each other since...
Hi! I know very little about breeding for color. I have some birchen Marans males. I have blue, black and splash. Unfortunately I do not have any females. I do have Lavender or self blue females and a male. I have bred the Lavenders and get Lavender 100% of the time. Would it possible to get...
Think I have 2 roos but my lavendar one has pretty much no waddles but a red comb. My Brahma I’m pretty certain is a roo unfortunately. Let me know what you think!! :)
I’m getting a free cockerel this weekend and it’s bred from a lavender americauna rooster and a blue copper Maran hen. My question is what are the dominant genes if I breed this chicken with say my Easter Eggers or the rest of my backyard Mix is there anything I can count on?
I also have another...
These are 7wk old Lavender/self blue Ameraucanas hatched from shipped eggs. All but one hatched from the pointiest eggs I think the breeder could find and while it’s a wives tale, I think I have 3 cockerels and one pullet. Let me know what you think. Also they have been very slow to feather and...

Hi all, I got this little chicken from the sexed pullet bin at a local store for $40!! but the way she's developing makes me think she might be a boy. I think she is 5 or six weeks old. Any input?
