Chicken Breeding Projects, For 2020!

[MysteryChicken]

I tried to get pictures of my Serama trio but they’re so skittish. I got a new rooster last night so I moved my cockerel over to my layer flock. Here’s a picture of my pullet and cockerel. I also want to focus on my dark Brahmas! I looooove my Brahmas.

I love your Brahmas. I had a dark Brahma I rehomed recently, who had a neurological birth defect.

Your seramas are cute. My sister wants seramas, I got a bunch of serama hatching eggs for my sister earlier this year, but they all died in the incubator.

Thanks! Sorry about your brahma! I tried to incubate some of my Serama eggs too and none hatched! I heard Seramas have a death gene so maybe that’s whats happened?

Yep, she was my best friend. She always wanted my attention 24/7.

Really? I didn't know that about seramas.

Yep it’s in chicks too I believe. I was able to get some pictures of my breeding trio!

This was the barred rock rooster that developed red leakage in his feathers. I’m certain it will pass to his offspring so I plan to move him i tom my easter egger flock to make olive eggers and produce bigger chicks.

They're so pretty. I hope to get seramas sometime.

The gold/Red leakage shouldn't be to much of a problem to get rid of.

Red barred Rocks might become a new hit.

Here are the parents of my Project Wheaten Crele Orpingtons.
Father: Buff Orpington/Barred Rock cross.

Mother: Buff Orpington/Australorp cross.

The offspring are about 80% Orpington.
