Pippin's broody again
I feel bad for her, she does deserve chicks. At the moment shes on a rubber bouncy egg.
I'm looking into some suorise bantam eggs.

Could she wait until the d'uccles hatch for chicks?

I want to raise my d'uccles, otherwise I'd just give her the eggs now.
Although, I had a talk with the owner of my feed shop, and she has a mix of different breeds but mainly frizzles. I'm getting some eggs from her next week

Question for you genetics experts, does this chick have partridge down?


Mom is a RIR, dad is a buff laced polish x white Cochin bantam. Thanks

looks partridge to me, but the parents may make a funky colouring @MysteryChicken

Wheaten can have stripes too.

The pattern looks partridge, but with Dominant White X Red. So the chick will probably grow up with white feathers, & red leakage.

Polish chickens are Birchen based, I'm not seeing any evidence of Birchen in this mix, so it must've not been inherited.

Thanks! Usually my chicks hatch with a certain color down but grow up to be a completely different color
