The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

[MysteryChicken]

I just like how they look. But I've read that just like aseels and games, the male's can't be housed together

The breeder of my Malays said the samething, but mine live fine together. Pretty sure it'd be different if separated rather then kept them together.

Can we keep comments on the prolific nature of birds to private. Unless it's a question needing an answer.

"Lays pretty well" is a fairly subjective term, of course, but it implies a bird that will pump out plenty of eggs.

3-4 eggs a week with periodic breaks doesn't fit the implication of a regular and generous supply of eggs.

Nice big eggs are a definite plus. I'm aiming for 60-70g eggs in my flock.

The rate is fine for Heritage stock.

My egg scale only goes upto 30 ounces.

Sorry, this wasn't intended to happen.

@nicalandia Hope i’m not bothering. You said my chick was heterozygous for columbian restriction.

Yes, she is Heterozygous for Columbian and Barred(Single copy since females can only have one)

Would you be able to help me figure out which parent of that chick has columbian? I’m doubting myself on which it is.
This is the mother, she’s just an easter egger so I have no clue what other genes she has-

This is the father, he came from a cross of either a welsummer rooster or an easter egger rooster over a barred rock hen-

It's coming from him. He just happens to have Extended black(E/eb) and Heterozygous for the Columbian gene) He is also S/s+ at the sex linked locus

I wonder is given enough time you could develop a strain that showed less aggression?

They're more stable(Less Pugnacious)then the typical game, so that's not necessary. We can continue this chat in a conversation so, I don't fill this thread up.

What would a Red Pyle made with Partridge instead of Duckwing look like, & would it be considered Red Pyle?

The males will look like Red Pyle roosters, but the females will look different because they are eb/eb based and have the pattern gene.

Like this Partridge based hen
