I've been looking for barred oegb's do you sell eggs?Anybody have a guess what color this chick is? I got a pair from the feedstore just to see how they would turn out. They were listed as Fawn Duckwing. Is that a color?These are my project sex-linked OEGB chicks.
I ended up with the majority like the chick above, but the chick below was the only one who developed this "crele" coloring.
Getting red comb at 4 weeks? Hatchery stock OEGB. I got this OEGB chick, along with 3 d'uccle. I've been thinking pullet... but her comb is turning red already - at 4 weeks. Is this normal, or do I have a cockerel? Feathers look good for pullet though.
Here are some growth pictures (days, 3 week, and three 4 week pics):
days old - in the back middle:
3 weeks - comb line dark pink (though not large):
4 weeks (slightly larger comb than at 3 weeks, still dark pink):
4 weeks -comb
4 weeks -back/feathers
Also ... I was told by the hatchery the OEGB options were "Red Pyle, Brown, & Silver Duckwing". Well, its not red pyle. Do you think Brown Red, or Silver duckwing pullet? Though I got one from them last year - and it was BB red cockerel.
I haven't had too many OEGB's over the years, so any help would be welcomed. Thanks!!
The feathers stayed consistent. The comb was just really early to develop. Quote: Not at this time. Right now, my show bantams are mixed in with my oegb pen until I can get my show bantam pen finished. Hopefully by then, I will have one of the cockerels from this paring to breed back to my crele hens. I hope to get barred pullets from that crossing. I could let you know when I do.
