Chickens In Ya Window

[BlackwoodHollow]

Ok, I have a question for Y'all.

I have a small breeding group of SLW I have been selling eggs from. Same that created the chicks I posted earlier. I have been raising 4 Lavender Wyandottes all summer and I think they are laying eggs now.

I want to put the lavs (self blue) in with the SLW roo and pullets. I know the eggs will look the same, but what about the chicks? The chicks from the lavs will be split for lav. I know they won't be lav. But will they be black? All black? The lav wyandottes were built off of lav to black birds.

What I don't want is all SLW looking chicks. That would be worthless to me since I need to breed split to split later.

I guess I could do the food coloring in the vent trick.

should be an interesting cross I'm crossing gold to silver just because I don't have enough pens . I would think its going to be hard to tell the difference . good luck with that. I have chicks that look all SLW and will have to grow out to see what they look grown.

I think I read the blrw, started with crossing the slw and GLW.

So did everyone do a mass exodus here?

K, I had to look it up but I think if you are putting a GLW roo over SLW hens they'll be sex-linked... think you get SLW cockerels and GLW pullets... *I think*

at least something around here will be linked to sex .if that's the case I have a bunch more roos. ok what about the ones out of the sexlink hens I try not to think about it much . it just confuses me . you know tomorrow is lock down your fist batch . go figure and I must work Saturday .

wanted to take some video but can't find my phone again .I'll look for it again tomorrow before I lock down .

It's a fuzzy pic and hard to see on my phone... See?!?! At least I'm not the only one that can't see it well enough to figure it out...

You were not alone. I didn't get it either. ..but that's not saying much. . I tend to miss some windows.

SC, I am so glad you are back. While I may not engage too much in the humor, I do appreciate it. I just have to be careful about visiting this thread when I am on conference calls or in meetings as I have had inexplicable outbursts of laughter or spraying Coke on my monitor...I just blame it on PBA... I got my first egg from my "Fancy EEs" today. I am not disappointed! This is the girl that laid it: And her mama's egg is the paler green one to the right.

Pretty!!! Egg and hen. I can't wait for my girl to lay me an egg.

You still came

Well...........ummm.......that's what she said!

I think that's the way silver and gold sebrights work, so that would make sense to me.

ETA - either that, or the cockerels will be silver and the pullets will be mixed.

either way they are still a just a chicken . another mouth to feed and water . all of you know what it's like to be a slave to a chicken . so I know I not the only nut in the bunch .

somebody stop me . I MIGHT BE LOSEING IT HERE .

or could be the brew

Don't drink too much! You might pass out on us.
