Yep, during the right time of year broodies are very welcome around my place. I have two buff ducks that set all the time. The turkeys are almost annoying about wanting to set all the time at the end of the season but I usually dont let them becuase I only have a few and I sell there eggs and I need them to stay productive to fill orders, and they usually arent very successful as broodies anyway. But I dont have chickens wanting to set very often, just mainly one silkie mixed hen.

Sounds annoying! Considering how many pictures of your Sexlinks you have, I think that you should make one your Avatar... just saying...

Gallusfarm- Welcome to the thread! Those are beautiful birds. Glad you like it here! How about Goldie-Lace? like Goldie-Lox?

Because she has so many golden laces. She looks A LOT like my Lily!

She looks like she has a Buttercup comb... maybe Buttercup?

 

[PepsNick]

Pour some butter in it!

I have a question, and if it is answered in a previous post I am sorry, I didn't read every page.

This is probably sexlink 101, but if you want to continue breeding sexlinked can you breed back the daughter to the father and still have chicks from that combo that remain sexlinked?

No. Sex-linked birds cannot be used to make more sex-links. Here's a link to the best sex-link page on the web that shows how to make sex-links

Gallusfarm, beautiful pullet! Such pretty orange and green shine! She's got a very interesting comb, is she from a hatchery or from a mix you did yourself?

She's a Dominique/RIR cross. I think I'll name her Buttercup! Put butter in it - that's funny!!!

It's a bad rose comb, this is common in straight/rose combos, that's what someone said in another post.

Not like that handsome rose comb roo from a few pages back - he is gorgeous!!
