Sonoran thank you. I have blue Orps and have never seen green on any...I had no idea. I dwo understand small hatches missing blacks bit genetically, there will be black offspring. That was my point and I did not write it clear enough. Eventually there will be a black baby result no matter what size the hatch is.

Robin, sorry for the mis-statement, I guess blues can have a beetle sheen.

They sure can, that's what had me fooled by that male. Complete shock to see seven absolutely blue chicks hatch. With a different hen the same results. Oh well, these will turn out to be excellent birds as they mature and even though I don't raise blues they will be nice.

There is nothing really to help with...you can slowly introduce them with a barrier between them or put them together and watch for problems.

I LOVE the beetle green coloring and I hope that one of my offspring that came from him inherits the coloring.

Chances are good that little male will look like his Daddy where color is concerned. Is your boy crowing yet? One of his brothers just started to crow this week.

I know this question has been drug through the dirt, but there have been soooo many different answers to this on other threads about how many square feet per bird,so here goes again...

I am asking on the silkie thread! How many silkies can I have in a nine square foot coop that has a one hundred square foot run? I am a newbe please cut me some slack

I currently have a hen, pullet, and an older baby almost the same size as the other two. Is there room for more? Anyone feel like answering this for the hundredth time?
