The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

Thanks for sharing. I am not sure how chickens can stand barefoot on the snow without getting sick.

You're welcome.

They got very warm feet, takes alot to make them cold.

They will all hatch white with black spots but the females will inherit their dad's dark shanks. males will have yellow shanks.

So, the Leghorns aren't silver based?

They are, but they are also either Extended black or Dark Birchen under all of that white.

It is.

Some people have taken advantage of the trait, to produce Grey Eggers(Olive with super heavy bloom), & Pink, or purple eggers(Chocolate, or dark brown with thick bloom)

I believe @gimmie birdies , has Gray Eggers.

That’s awesome!

Okay, I see all the offspring will most likely be white then.

Of course.

White with black spots. like the hens posted here for the Super Blue Egger.

IIRC, birds blood vessels are right next to each other so that the warm arterial blood going out warms the cool venous blood as it returns -- very efficient.

Looks like my AustraWhite in coloring.

In my case I fully expect rumpless birds like this pullet, but without beard and more black specks.
