Yes!

Multi-size(and age!) flock treat time! Hugh(the rooster) kept finding mealworms for the babies

By the looks of it, I’m guessing maybe olive egger but didn’t inherit the cheek fluff? And maybe cream legbar for Dola? I can’t tell if she’s crested or just has teenage fluff. Whatever it is it’s not a dominant color it seems.. I wonder if Dola is pure (if she isn’t a cream legbar)

With her being a white jersey giant I’d imagine she has silver? The dad is golden. Prismo (the chick) is the only one I have of the DL x JG so I’m really hoping she’s a she 🥲

Another question, any chance the same works for my deathlayer(dad) white jersey giant(mom)? This is an older picture, her colors are bolder now

After reading that, I had to go catch my chick who has a pea/rose combed momma and single combed dad and I can totally see that now!! Mav (the blue chick) has the same just not as noticeable!

Oh that’s perfect! Her two brothers were sexlinked then I have one straight run left from my Deathlayer mixes so fingers crossed she’s a she!

Her dad should give her what I’ve referred to as a “cushion comb” and I figured that totally canceled out the single comb from the mom but I guess not! I’ll try to remember to update this when she’s older

Prismo is a golden deathlayer(rooster) over white jersey giant(hen). She has always had a flat comb but I just recently noticed she has a single spike sticking out of it. Has anyone seen this before?

This is a golden Deathlayer(rooster) over lavender Orpington(hen), she’s about a month old.. maybe a little under. Will she develop any color other than black with white/grey down feathers?

The first one is. Dola(the Brahma mix) is a few days younger I’m glad Dola is looking in the clear!! But dang of course it’s my favorite who’s looking like a rooster 🤦

Agreed saline really saved my chick for sure! I used my piercing aftercare saline so I knew it was 100% sterile. She didn’t open her eyes until she was 3/4 days old. She’s happy and healthy now! Edit; I just saw your update. I’m so sorry :( you did your best. As sad as it is some chicks just...

Now Tombo and Dola are looking concerning too 😫 just recently learned 2 of my other chicks are cockerels too based off their color (ended up the mix made sexlinked chicks and the only 2 I got of that mix were cockerels)

I can’t keep my girls from eating apple seeds lol, my neighbors grow them. But what’s up with rhubarb? I don’t think they eat it but I do have a rhubarb plant, should I block it off from them just incase? I don’t feed my girls anything moldy, too sugary or citrus too!

With the amount of racers here I’d imagine they sell some sort of pigeon specific feed… if not I’ll ask the pigeon owner I know for his recipe. Thank you!
