Pics of my second hatching for January. All are barred rock mixes. My roo Zilla apparently gives sex-linked babies. All boys are light colored (white, yellow or light orange as chicks) and girls are dark colored (red/black, black/dark brown, or black/white spots).


Zilla

2nd hatching

6 black, 1 yellow
Larger chick(frizzle) was left in there to show new ones how to eat and drink.

1st hatching was 6 chicks: 2 white, 1 red/black and 3 black/white spots

Last pic is of the eggs currently in my incubator, due out by the Week of 2/18.

Since my last post, "Cinco" has grown and feathered out a bit more. I am now confident that his father is Gryffindor. How else would he have gotten those cheek puffs?




So here he is, Cinco, a bantam cochin/Easter Egger mix.

THAT is freakin adorable! Now if I could just have him in bantam....

My silkie X serama eggs hatched! Well2 of them... there are another dozen due to hatch over the next couple weeks

This is my first time crossing these 2 so I'm no expert. I only have 2 right now but these two are totally different!
They both have a little fuzz bubble crown like silkies, they both have a little fuzz on their legs (although the yellow one has significantly less), and they both have the extra toes. However one has dark skin - although not as dark as a purebred silkie chick, it's more blue than black - and one has yellow skin although it has bits of dark spots around her knees and beak where it meets her face. The dark chick is also much closer to the size of the serama than the yellow silkie mix. I'm wondering about color genetics too because my silkie is white and the serama roo is tan, so the "easter egg" chick color genetics are showing up in the silver silkie since neither parent has dark feathers. I'm really excited about this little mini project! It'll be fun to see how they all feather out and hopefully I'll get to breed them and see what the second generation looks like!


So I've got 2 crosses, one yellow and one silver

Silver silkie cross


Best face ever "Put . Me . Down!"






Yellow silkie cross, but this one is more cream than yellow, you can sorta see the difference up against the yellow serama







The whole gang (2 crosses and 4 purebred serama)- The cream/yellow silkie mix is the biggest of the bunch where as you can hardly see the size difference between the silver silkie mix and the serama

Wow! Beautiful birds!

Thanks. I can't take credit for the breeding, as I bought them...but they are really unique and great hens. Nearly laying age.
