CHICKEN SWAPS OF NH SWAP LISTINGS

[1Chick Magnet]

Is she white/cream? If so, she's a Tetra Tint (http://www.tetraamericana.com/products/tetra-tint/). They are one of the production crosses - not crosses of purebreds, but a patented cross where the parent and grandparent strains are themselves very specialized crosses. I saw them this year for the first time, and didn't get any, and now regret it because people say they're really lovely. I am going to get some this spring for sure.

thankyou for this link, we raised some of these to sell last season. I found them very friendly. we did sell some of them at a swap in derry. joanna, what color do you think they would produce with a legbar? now I wish I had kept a couple,

New to this thread.... How does it work?

hi
we have chicken swaps in person in the spring summer and fall. during the winter we chat. lots of us buy eggs and have them shipped or would be up for an egg swap. if you have anything to swap go ahead and post it.

hello ladies
I am loving the bubba genetics
I am not the best at understanding genetics.
I bought a beautiful splash cochin at the show in oxford. she was from new york. I bred her to bubba seperated her and collected her eggs. the pictures are her daughters. I also had a smooth splash hen but she lives with a friend now, the girls do not have a heavy splash pattern but mom didn't either.




any dark feathers on these girls are a result of rolling in the mud. I didn.t feel like giving them a bath before the photo shoot.
johanna I am planning on breeding these 2 to zazu (the legbar. who will be known as the great zazu if he does a good job lol) what do you think that will produce?

bubba is sitting on a sheet of plywood. this should give some idea of his size.

bubba feather close ups. hope this helps figure out why he produces colors.


I have always wondered where the patterns on his feathers came from.
this season bubba will be bred to splash,partridge, and black cochins as well as a number of interesting non cochin breeds.
done for now. my pillow is calling........

See, me either on the EE and the e and ee and the + or any other markers. I had a black roo tat paired with black hens through the occasional (1 in 10 ) dark blue progeny. The thoughts of the big breeders at the time was that he was hiding a gene. Not something typical and I had not quite figuered it out yet when I lost him. The results were truley blue though.

Tee hee, I am so fond of my Dominiques, the genetics are pretty straightforward. Cuckoo barring? Sex linked dominant. Rose comb? Autosomal dominant. Cross a Dominique roo with most anything and it will come out looking pretty much like a Dominique. LOL! You usually know what to expect. Of course, you also don't get a lot of happy surprises that way, either. But mostly I'm ok with that.

There are a few people who have kept them and bred them to things, and they seem to still produce white or cream chicks. But you get more leakage - I would guess you'd get some barred feathers and a lot of cream in the hackles and tail. Then the next generation you could start to see more color.

Holy moly, those are gorgeous pullets. You should get some solid with light barring (BBS, plus some fuzzy barring) and some who are shades of buff/blue/barred - sort of like a barred lemon blue - or black/buff/barred. I would bet everything will have cream/gold leakage in the hackles and tail.

My legbar boys are in with a Bubba daughter who is black-tailed buff, and with a Marans pullet, but they're mostly waiting around for me to put them with production layers. I think they'd make amazing heavy-laying olive eggers with the Golden Comets, and green layers with Tetra Tints.
