A) She isn't old enough yet. B) They are brother and sister, sooooo, I have to carefully choose mates for them.

I found that breeding Splash to Partridge gives you a shot at calico splash. Been working on that for over a year. There's a thread on that. The males have stronger coloring, while the females are pale.

Definitely got some chipmunks (partridge) kids, possibly a red pyle or two, and potential calico splash and a buff. Wait 3 weeks until body feathers begin to appear and ask again. :)

Oh is hatching time, I'm going to be brokeeeeee... I rescued several eggs from General Lee's pen after they fell from the nest where two of the ladies are sitting. He's got 4 ladies in all, and I don't know which hen this came from. One is his daughter, and two are f2's out of Lancelot and...

We are having too much fun down here in the south. I can confirm Hu made it to first base! HUShadow Captain (SC raised Hu from a wee tyke)Poof Poof with a few chicksShadow with a few more (first time mom and doing well)and Sherbert (she's been giving me red pyle babies with SC)

Absolutely Georgous boy! Molting is well under way down here in the south.

How about these colors? The two buffs are full siblings while the light blue is a half sibling.

I've got a duffus roo in with my older big girls. I don't think he knows which end is up since I've never gotten a fertilized egg from that pen.

Note the combs on those roosters. They vary quite a bit from the walnut comb. Here's an f3 of mine. BTW @Hinotori I have a sister of your hen, and her sister has the red crest instead of black. They are both f2/f3's.

Their hormones are kicking in.. It's breeding season.

Fella I sold these two juvies to is convinced the red pyle is a male. In spite of having no comb at all and a rounded crest..

I've got two that look like that. One is sitting on eggs, and one is a young male. I'll try to get a pic tomorrow.

Got a few last night myself.. Plus 11 from last weekend. And I spotted one in the nest with two of my gals today. There's one guinea keet in there, tee hee

Love that 'do'!

I've got Elvis (an f2 satin) in with my older hens who are just layers. Not a single fertile egg from that pen. I guess they miss Buddy and Chuckles, two of his brothers. Or maybe he's too dumb to breed. He's over a year, and just hangs out in the pen with them. I put him in there because he...
