Hey Punky, got a question for you about your SPPRB

I am raising Silver Penciled large fowl, and have noticed that grey/slate colour scales on the legs is this a problem with bantams to? and just to make sure i am not going crazy the leg colour should be yellow right?

 

[punky rooster]

yes it should be yellow and yes some of the scales have a slate like color on them.

Ok, thought so. That is one thing i am going to try and breed out. I only have one hen with a lot of them on her legs (the front on both her legs for about half way up or so). But the roosters and other 4 hens are almost solid yellow legs.

 

[punky rooster]

yes we have to breed that out

from looking at your website your pullets look light in color compared to mine is this just in LF or should they be dark like this?

Hi All

What would I get with a columbian rock rooster on a white rock hen?I only have a pair of columbian rocks so I thought I'd throw a white rick hen in the pen with them.They are standards birds.

I have a question or two for anyone out in Plymouth Rock land about White Plymouth Rocks?

I know that some White's are dominant and some are recessive white. Are the one that hatch out with a grayish smuggie look to them recessive or a dominate white? And, would they be consider a silver gene if they are recessive or dominant? Just asking seeing if they would make good sexlink chicks. I know that they are not suppose to be the best choice for sexlinks, but I have them and would like to be able touse them as such if they have the right genes.

I have Col Rocks as well....I've been told that a CR roo over WR hens will throw "incomplete" CR pullets and a gold/columbian roo

Results will NOT be the same with a WR roo over CR hens however.....

Hope this helps

It depends on what kind of chickens you have. if they came from a hatchery then its hard to tell if they are standard breed birds you may get barreds or columbian. Where did you get your birdsfrom? bob
