Does anyone know if you cross for instance Legbars and Rhodebars if you maintain the autosexing? And Welsummers, Bielefelders and Dorkings,if you can still autosex if a combination of those breeds. I just hatched from my 2 pens, as mentioned above just for fun) and some look to be sexable, I am...

So for fun I put eggs in the incubator, from on the counter (not moved for days) from the fridge, washed, old, etc. Anyways I ended up with 21 chicks. Here is my question, since they were not seperated into breeding pens, I know 99.5 percent sure most are mixed. In one pen I had legbars and...

Mine are not Tatanka, they are my own that I am creating by crossing some TAMS with my biggest browns.

The coloring is way off on that boy as far a shades of color he should be as far as I am concerned, but I am not an expert. That also would be why they didnt autosex correctly. But he does look to have a crest.... any pics of your girls?

Okay Auto-sexing (not to be confused with sex linked-that is when you cross 2 different breeds to get chicks you can sex at hatch), I have 6 breeds of autosexing (well 5 for sure,and the 6th I am told you can but another person told me possibly not but since its a breed to raise for meat it...

Has anyone that has bred for size had the feeling that they just want to work on the project and not really sell any? I quick butcher the excess birds to feed to my dogs. Fast them the night before (if I remember) and dispatch, take a big strainer, swish them around in how water, throw them in...

Mine are still young probably they are as dark grey as yours are at the greyest. So they may lighten some yet.

I will have to get pictures and post them to show what they look like. I didnt know much about the breed, just thought I wanted them to add to my breeds of autosexing, I now have 6 auto sexing breeds.

Chicken Pickin, no I meant that the body (other than the breast) is that darker slate grey color I have seen some that are lighter and some that are darker. The whole body, wings etc, is it supposed to be a darker slate grey or lighter?

I have a question, I am pretty new, I have Crested Cream Legbars and mine the pullets are quite dark. IS darker better, or a fault? Their bodies are the same color as the crest on this one.

I agree it has to be a video, not just a photo, cause a photo, you can add weight to the scale!

My pullet I will have to check for sure, but I got the eggs this summer, Hatched the first week of July.

I was thinking that I would put her in a seperate breeding pen with a cockeral so I can keep track of her babies, be interesting to see if they have larger crests like her.

Hi, I hatched out some eggs, that I got from, of all places Ebay.... oh well probably not good quality. I love crested Cream Legbars, so was wondering is there a point where the crest can be too excessive? I have one of my bunch (and her crest may stand up more as she reaches out through the...

Many lose half to 3/4 of the shipped chicks, defenitely use grow gel, have them pack some with and add an extra package when they come, and be there BEFORE The post office opens (they allow you to come the back door) and run home! Have brooders ready. My first batch we lost 1/3 the second batch...

When are you planning this? Because as of now you cannot import from Iowa and not sure when the restrictions will be lifted. I usually do a service for people in our area and bring in a shipment, I charge a fee per bird ($3-$4) to cover the health certificate, shipping, my going to get them at...

Not in the hundreds I have checked, not sure its called the pelvic bones but the bones are much more seperated on a quail that is laying than a rooster. For a mature male, you can barely fit one finger between it and many of my hens you could almost fit 2 between it.

The white is a Texas A & M from my breeding and on the right is a hatchling 2 days older (they are both at 7 weeks) hatched from shipped eggs that are supposed to be direct line from James Marie Farm. 100+ grams difference.

Just check how wide apart the pelvic bones are, just hold against your tummy, reach under and gently place feel for the 2 bones that come down towards the vent and apply slight pressure to see where they are. Close together, male or female not laying,spread apart, then have recently, or will...

In any bird, if a bird is laying the pelvic bone is more seperated, I sex my Texas A & M simply after laying I know for sure which ones are laying=female if I put my finger under them pointing towards the chest and if the bones are wide enough to easily put my finger in with space to spare, then...
