I have a specific chicken I’m having problems identifying because of the comb. I was certain at hatch they were my crele Penedesenca And my Swedish flower rooster since they have the penedesenca comb but as they are maturing they are definitely blue in color so now the other option is them...
Could anyone help me ID this guy? I got him with an order of Blue Andalusians. He has a few similarities of an Andalusian but he has feathered legs and silver hackles.
I do own the parents yes. There are a few different breeds in the pictures but with same breed of hen that is not white. I have bred a few of my white hens and made paints so I am familiar with it just playing around. If she’s hiding that gene would or could I still get paints?
I love blue and have a lot of different blues that I like to breed. In a specific combo I thought they were a super light splash I was getting but as more time goes on I realized some of their splash is black and some blue and Also their gold is coming out in some roosters. Each specific chicken...
I started reading on Ermine and brushed lightly on genetics. I couldn’t help but questions a few I have and have wondered about them since I hatched. When they were a few weeks old they were almost white. Now since getting older they are getting more color. Compared to my splash Cochins they are...
I can definitely edit that. At one point in her changing colors she almost had Brahma markings. This had me so confused I overthought and our light Brahma came to mind 🫣
Yup that definitely makes sense too. We had a rooster that was mottled and hatched some from him. Not this one specificity but A rooster or two still here that has his genetics. Our white Cochins are white dominant that makes sense also. Our mottled chicks that were hatched also had the speckled...
I will get some better pics of her today. She’s really different as far as personality goes also. She loves to follow you around and kind of a loner. Shes not just your regular chicken. You talk to her and she looks at you like she’s actually paying attention. Lol! She was getting picked on the...
I have a some roosters that don’t quite add up. I have a handful of roosters that have gold hackles and silver hackles and I’m assuming they came from my gold laced Cochin bantams and silver laced Cochin bantams but they have zero lacing on their chests and bodies. Is it possible these are my...
This might help a little bit. I am getting these crested combos and definitely not silky. If I remember right, they were from a really dark egg which I believe was from the crele Penedesenca.
I do agree with you on the sex linked part and nice you bring that up. The girls all have small straight combs and little walnut combs. The boys all have the floppy comb or almost a strawberry or rose comb. Reassurance is always nice lol!
Absolutely! The roosters were Blue Jersey Giant, Blue Cochin, and Blue silkie.
Hens - Blue breasted brown leghorns (main eggs i collected) blue giants, blue copper Marans, buttercups, light Brahmas, blue Cochins, orloffs, annnnnd I believe that’s it. I collected all at different times with...
