You might try the chicken calculator: It is linked on this page....

http://kippenjungle.nl/basisEN.htm#berkenEN

I find it totally fascinating...I was messing with it for my EE's hatched in May--- (not knowing the true background of the EEs one white and one looking kind of like a Columbian-Lackenvelder-silver Quail -- (quite pretty but quite the mutt)...

Have fun.

Henk69 in the Netherlands is a BYC member and had tons of expertise in the field. :O) He developed the Chicken Calculator.........
 
I love that calculator... when I understand it.

Since I just read this today....and people reading this thread would be interested in breeding, I wanted to put in a plug for breeding for resistance... Here is the quote (I added it to my Marek's Disease page...so It is an easy cut and paste)


Just today, I read in Gail Damerow's The Chicken Health Handbook p.198 "When only certain breeds, strains or individuals are resistant to a disease, immunity is 'partial'. Chickens have partial immunity to Marek's disease, since some strains never succumb to the otherwise common killer. In nearly every disease outbreak, some individuals do not become infected due to inherited immunity. Those are the birds you will want in your breeder flock if you wish to breed for resistance as described in Chapter 1"

My comment would be, that is the approach I would favor.
 
Wow! Debs_Flock, I think I'm in envy or shock! I am so glad you shared your coop photos! What an awesome coop builder you got! ChicKat and Debs_Flock, thanks for the scale information (and spreadsheet motivation). ChicKat, awesome shell photography! Nice visual clarification, yours are about the color of mine, comparable to light brown in shade. You rock! For all the other posts that keep me thinking and inspired, thanks everyone!!
 
Hi Cream Legbar folks,

Here is a site: http://www.huehner-info.de/forum/showthread.php/31519-Fenton-Blues - that I believe is the source of this internet photo - (which I have added the caption to as well as the blue margins) the link to Fenton Blues has a discussion about crossing cream legbars and Marans. If you are Fenton Blues and you come across this---please weigh in with information. Thanks.

A note: If the link brings the site up in German, your Browser probably has a translate feature--- Google Chrome has a push-button translate feature easily used if yours doesn/t but, I digress.....






EARLIER in this thread there was some discussion about the color of the cream legbar roosters. I think we kind of concluded that as the rooster ages it lightens. For those with expertise and aesthetic appreciation, or just like me who are opinionated (lol). does the coloration of Fenton Blues rooster represent what we should be aiming for? Thanks for opinions.

Hi Keith,

would love to follow this link...but pulled the plug on facebook account some long time ago, and don't want to re-up to fb. Is there a non-facebook way to see the info? (like a web page or something?) Thanks.
