So I want to get into breeding and I currently have a black frizzle Cochin cockerel, if I wanted to breed mottled babies would I need to get a white hen or how would that work? Is there another thread on here that goes into further detail on this topic?
Hey guys! I stumbled across a breeder that used to breed calico silkies and they were the most beautiful silkies i have ever seen. Sadly they have discontinued the breeding. Ive seen some old threads about this but want to start another up. is there anybody working on calico silkies? Please...
Hi everyone! I bought four bantams. Pretty sure the two d'uccles and the easter egger are pullets. But I'm a little confused about the mottled cochin. It's about 6 weeks old. Any guesses on his/her gender? There has been some comb growth and it looks kinda reddish. It's more red when it's...
I have three darling boys that need new homes. Six weeks old now and clearly are going to be roosters. Two of the three have been a bit slower to feather out for some reason but their feathers are about to pop now. One is calico the other two came from a blue black splash mottled pen. These...
I have 2 pullets my husband picked up at the feed store, Sold as dorkings. They are mottled so I'm thinking speckled sussex? I wouldn't think jubilee orpington would be sold at a feed store. What breed are they?
Hey!
so I have a lot of questions about mottling and some other genetic related questions. Thank you in advance for reading and also thanks for any answer i get!
1.Is there any way to be sure a specific breed/color has the mottling factor (for example could be mille fleur or something else)...
So i just came across a mottled coloured chicken, she was amazing.
So i decided to have one...but couldn't get any..my question was that by breeding what colours or traits i will get that triat chicken(any colour)?
So...I'm pathologically curious. What would a chicken with the mottled, pattern, AND barred genes look like? Anyone have Pictures? Google has failed me. I may do a side breeding project just to satisfy my curiosity...
12 eggs (or 10+ extras) whatever sounds better to you.
The girls are laying their little butts off right now and we can’t hatch all of them for ourselves.
All eggs come in egg padding and priority 1-3 day (depending on your location) I ship eggs mon-thurs only to ensure your eggs don’t take...
I am getting a couple of bantams from someone who breeds them, and she sent me a few pics, but didn't say what this particular chicken is. I'm assuming she's a mottled Serama, but don't want to bug her as I know she is busy. Sorry the pic is blurry but this is all I was sent of this bird.
This is one colour combo i can never see enough of, it looks really smart on the females with the Black, light grey and white effect, and Homozygous Cuckoo males look incredibly bright.
It also worked on Barred, but personally i like the effect on cuckoo.
You need to start with a Light...
Anyone have Mottled d'Uccle chicks or hatching eggs? Ended up with one hen by accident and I just love her and her personality, would like to have a few more
