I bred a buff orpington hen with a (barred rock/silverlaced wyandotte mix) mix. And got some interesting results as one of them turned out yellow with 2 black spots on top of its head and the other black with a yellow face/throat. Here's some pictures of dad, mom and the babies. The other chicks...
So I've been hatching babies left and right and last night was the first successful hatch from one of my mix breed chicken eggs. The mother is one of my white leghorn girls and the father is one of my barred rock boys.
5 eggs went into the incubator clearly marked with who the parents were and...
Hello BYC Family!
So ive been pondering for a while if my beautiful boys are mixed breeds. They are supposed to be BO's, but they have pretty dark feathers among their buff colored ones, and ive been seeing quite a few pics of BO roosters lately, and theyre not as dark as mine, so it made me...
So I think I've read that any duck that came from the mallard can produce fertile eggs, even when crossed, right?
So a Rouen mixed with a Swedish can produce fertile babies? Or a Rouen X Magpie or a Rouen X cayuga? Because I really want a male rouen, they are beautiful, and if he'd have babies...
hello! I just completed my first hatch! We had a 98% hatch rate! My question is...
We hatched some EE/Ayam Cemani chicks ( mom is EE and dad is Cemani)
Would the proper breed name be Fibro Easter Eggers?

Both chicks have the same mum but different dad
Also is the red chick actually a frizzle ? I've seen other frizzled chicks and he...
“Her” name is Jelly Bean and she’s five months old. One-quarter Silver Phoenix, otherwise a mutt for generations back (bantam/barnyard). “She” had two siblings that were obviously male, whom we’ve already rehomed. We don’t have room for another rooster.
She looks like a girl to me, but her...
I have a Porcelain d'Uccle bantam-lavender cochin mix, and I need a name for her!( That's a mouthful!)I like Luna, but I already named a chicken Luna in the past, or maybe I would like a name like willow.( I will post a picture of her tomorrow, because it is dark out and she is sleeping.
This is Calico Jack, a mix breed rooster I hatched out for my father. He's still young, and his tail has continued to get a little bigger every time I see him. Here's his lineage...

I bought a Buff Orphington a few months ago, but I am starting to notice some changes.
The regular Buff Orphington lays brown eggs, but mine lays white eggs. They are totally white eggs, not even a tint of brown. I have also noticed that her feathers are whitish. I am wondering if my "Buff...
