New York mini chickenstock 2016

I think black is dominant over lavender but can carry lav. I have to look it up to be sure. I bet, whatever the color, they will be large and in charge tho.

Beautiful for sure!!

By May I will have chicks to show. I'm going to have a heck of a time with this. How long is an egg viable after its laid for incubation? Or do I just split the girls in 3 groups containg a bit of each breed and give them 1 husband per group?

Black bird x lavender bird = 100% black chicks that carry "lav" gene. The lav gene needs two copies to show itself. So the offspring above would be called "split". If you cross split x split you'll get 25% black, 50% split, & 25% lavender birds. You will not be able to tell the difference between black birds and splits from this pairing.

Well crud. More lavender it is then. I love the color. Its mellow but not white.

Woohoo!!! My poultry farm is now insured!!! My girls can lay as much as they want and I can now sell the eggs to buy them more feed ( and feathered friends) so now hubby can stop being a crab about my hobby.

Congrats! That's great!

Congrats, chicken girl. Its been a long time coming. I'm glad you can sell now. Makes it all easier to justify

Thank you.

I might be able to make it! It's going to be a very busy time of year for me. If I do come, I'd be able to bring Blue, Black, Splash, Black split to Lavender, Chocolate, and Chocolate Cuckoo Orpingtons, Speckled Sussex and Easter Egger chicks/eggs.
