I'm planning on breeding Whiting True blues with my silky to get blue laying silkies. I'm excited to see your progress!

You got to tell me how this went! This is my goal currently because colored laying silkies would be amazing! I have some whiting true blues I'm going to cross with my Frizzle rooster. I'm also going to cross some Silverrudds blues that lay speckled moss eggs!

What color is the Whiting's True Blue I have the same colored rooster

They are a breed from Whiting's farm hatchery in Colorado. Here's their blurb about them.

I heard about the legbar mixed with the SRB. (Called ice cream bars) but I'm going to try breeding Whiting Creole hens to my SRB rooster. Because Whiting Creole is a high production blue egg layer. Has anyone tried this? I ordered some Whiting Creole laying hens from whiting farms hatchery. And...

Very helpful thank you. I was looking to see when I feed them after the first dose. 4 hours in this small quantities Thank you! Also give them water is good info ❤️

In order to get sex-linkage we must mate a gold plumage cock to a silver plumage hen. The female chick will take after the sire and be the same ‘gold’ colour and the male chick will take after the dame and be ‘silver’.

This is so interesting! Wouldn't that be awesome an actually hen!!! Because they are so expensive! I got mine at a huge discount from a local breeder only $20 each chick!!

Oh thank goodness! ♥️♥️♥️

We just got our first Silverrudds Blue egg yesterday! I got her because she's a good winter layer and she lays a beautiful green speckled egg. The one we got is dark green with brown and white speckles! I have the green comparison next to our leghorn egg.

Thank you!!

Got some Blue Eggs from Chocolate Amerucanas from a breeder nearby. Hatched them. The outcome would be either olive eggers or Chocolate Amerucanas. I was hoping to figure out which type of rooster this will be. His comb turned red at 3weeks old so definitely a rooster.

We switched out for a swedish flower frizzle hen! She is darling a little skittish right now but getting along with our flock great! Now the person I bought Bugaboo from can focus on recreating a new beautiful breed! ❤️
