I am in need of a special Lavender/Blue Cochin Bantam pullet, but i can't figure out where you can purchase these other than as baby chicks. I have utilized local craigslist and local backyard chicken groups and advertised my need with them but to no avail. I would be willing to have them...
I hatched this guy out 6 weeks ago from a Lavender Orpington egg. Upon hatching, he was obviously different from the rest, and I contacted the breeder. She assured me that she had no other Orpingtons besides Lavender, and she had one hatch out just like him.
Am I looking at recessive genes...

I have a white goose (Sebastopol) who was sold as a lavender gosling to her previous owner. She ended up feathering out white. Upon purchasing her I contacted the breeder and found out she had a pen of solid lavenders (should be 100% lav offspring?), and a pen with white and lavender mixed to...
Hi!! :D

Anybody out there? Midwesterners, where you at?!
I'm no stranger to farming, but sort of a newbie to chickens. I did not realize that my husband's all-time favorite animal is a chicken. Scratch that. ALL chickens. We've been married 10 years and this was brand new information in spring 2019...
I am just starting out hatching my own silkies, so far I'm just doing b/b/s and have them in a separate pen which is going well. I have a couple questions. One I think I already know the answer to, (yes?), which is:
Can I put my "lavender" silkie hen in the B/B/S group? I was told lavender...

Why is it that you don’t want to breed blue to lavender? Does it weaken genes? Is it just because of the colour they produce (if...
I recieved a group of chicks that were supposed to be lavender orpingtons but found out that the chicks where the wrong color compared to ours. Turns out they were mottled lavender orpingtons. I have 1 rooster I didn't sell and my neighbor lost here lavender rooster and we were wondering what...
Hello!
Can anyone share their thoughts on this little silkie chick? Do you think it will be lavender or too early to tell? I don’t know what either parent looked like unfortunately.
It really doesn’t matter, it will be loved either way! Just curious :)
Thank you!

I am very proud of my 3 little one week old chicks that I have had for 3 days now, a black and a yellow and a mixed colour who have settled in nicely. A different breeder contacted me...

Hi peeps! :frow
After several years of working with many breeds and learning lot's along the way I need some solid advice on how to best diversify my genetics AND get the varieties I desire. I have some understanding but not enough! I also have some idea of what I need to do but as an obsessive...
I'm looking to add a couple self blue/ lavender bantam cochin to my lil flock. Where is a good place to find some or does anyone sell hatching eggs or chicks? I only want a few. Cant find them locally in Central Illinois.
There are six chicks altogether . 4 are polish, one is a cuckoo and one (I'm pretty sure this ones a rooster) is a lavender.
They are now 4 weeks old. I'm convinced 2 are roosters but unsure with the rest. Don't have much experience with this. I do know it's still difficult to tell but if anyone...
