    Did I hatch a Lavender or Lilac Swedish duck? Some other color?

    So I just hatched some eggs from my own flock for the first time in almost a decade. I had kind of a strange hatch, some eggs started hatching very early, some on time and some hatched VERY late. I guess I'm a bit rusty and probably goofed up on incubating these eggs somewhere but I've never had...

    Age and breed guesses?

    I bought my new chook Ruthie at auction, so there was no information on her. I immediately wondered if she is a lavender orpington, just by the color alone, but that is not much. She's shy and a bit nervous around me, but I understand that. It's rough being shut up in a cardboard box, roughly...

    Happy on the homestead

    The rainy season finally ended. :) In my last post I had just gotten most of my flock back and the hens were in bad shape. I culled most of the roosters and separated the breeding roos into individual runs. I have two roosters protecting the free-grazing flock. Things have calmed down a lot and...

    I have created a breeding plan for my lavender and zombie flocks. I have included as much genetic info that I understand/know how to track using the chicken calculator. I am currently in the F1 phase.

    Indian Runner Duck identification Lavender White Spotted?

    I was told two of the ducks we just got are lavender and white spotted Indian runner ducks. I can’t find anything about that color/breed of runner duck, is there an other name for this color?

    Pop Quiz - Is this a pure Ameraucana?

    I thought we could have a little fun playing "guess the purebred...ness" err, "purity"? This pullet is Pearl, bred and hatched here from known stock. Is she a pure Ameraucana? You guess! Hone your skills, or if you don't feel like it, Pearl will accept simple flattery instead.

    Lavender Orpingtons - gender?

    Hi everyone, new here :) I have 3 lavender orpingtons, 10 weeks old. 1 I’m super confident is a roo. They’ve had a red comb since 2 weeks old. The other I’m confident is a pullet. She’s much daintier and smaller than the roo. The third one…. I don’t know. Later getting a smaller comb. It was...

    Lavender or Isabel Ameraucana?

    I know it is not the greatest pic, it's from my cell phone and was very cloudy out all day today. I just got this guy today, he is definitely an Ameraucana, he's got the pea comb and slate legs like my other Ameraucanas. What I'm needing to know is if he's Isabel or what? He is lavender with...

    Color Genetics in Orpintons with Blue Rooster

    What colors can I breed with a blue rooster? I’m still building my Orpington flock and he’s young, so what color hens should I try to find for him? Currently I have 3 hens for him: 1 x blue, 1 x blue splash, 1 x cuckoo. What color chicks will I be able to expect from them? And what are...

    So I’m buying some lavender cuckoo English Orpington hatching eggs, I’m very excited about it. However at the moment I only have a muave rooster. I understand the colors would most likely be split. But I was wondering what colors to expect from muave over lavender cuckoos? Also have a silver...

    Blue cream silkie genetics

    Hello! I have a chick that was most likely the result of breeding a blue cream (aka porcelain) to a lavender. The chick is black. Does anyone know what this chick is carrying? Would it be considered a lavender split? Or would it be a blue cream split - is that even a thing? I’m not sure how...

    I originally hatched it out in an incubator and then slipped him/her under a broody silkie who is now her mom. Dad is definitely a Lavender Ameracauna I have a lot of breeds of hens but majority of Lavender's babies are black. So why is this little guy/gal WHITE?! The neck in a video when...

    Is it possible to get lavender offspring out of porcelain?

    Hello! I am wondering if it is possible to get lavender (self blue) silkies strictly from blue cream/porcelain breeding stock? From my understanding blue cream is a combination of the lavender gene over buff. So I guess I’m wondering if it’s possible to get chicks without the buff genes so they...
