    I live in DFW Texas. I'm trying to purchase exhibition plymouth barred rock hens 16 weeks and older. Where to buy?

    Thank you! Looks like the polish farm is currently not selling anything due to storm damage. Thank you for the links for poultry shows. I tried to see about how to register our rooster for the "Rooster Crowing Contest" on October 20th at the State Fair. I couldn't figure it out. Is it Pan...

    I live in DFW Texas. I'm trying to purchase exhibition plymouth barred rock hens 16 weeks and older. Where to buy?

    We are trying to get the exhibition breed of plymouth barred rocks back into the flock. We currently only have one exhibition plymouth barred rock rooster. We accidentally mated him with a hatchery small barred rock hen, not knowing how to keep the exhibition. They have a son and three...

    We have single barred gene cockerels to swap for pullets/hens please.

    I saw the State thread and it seemed very general. What link would be a section for a chicken swap specifically in Texas?

    UPDATE: We sold 4 cockerels. We have Copper, the Easter Egger left to swap for a hen. We are in the DFW area. I can drive to Parker, Johnson, Tarrant, Collin, Dallas, and Hood counties.

    The best way to breed what I've got?

    My goal is to breed high production blue eggers, high production olive eggers, and if possible perhaps a blue feathered bird with black lacing that has high production. Other outcomes to be easy sells. We are trying to make this easy as breeders to sell what's hot on the market. :) I know I need...

    Genetics for breeding a blue feathered show bird with black lacing

    I don't see much difference. I would think bird genetics is quite similar. What is the link?

    Does the single barred gene to sex link chicks work with roosters too?

    So let me see if I get this straight. So, if the father is single barred and the mother is not barred, then the daughters will not be barred?

    Thank you for the education! I live in Fort Worth and am in search for true breed standard heritage barred rock laying hens. Do you all have any idea which company/farm/homestead sells them?

    Genetics for breeding a blue feathered show bird with black lacing

    Okay this makes sense how color is distributed. I like looking into the science. Back in the day, since I'm in my 40's now, I really loved the Genetics class in High School. It was my favorite subject and I'm excited to breed chickens. It will be neat to accomplish this goal. Thank you to...

    Genetics for breeding a blue feathered show bird with black lacing

    Very interesting. I was beginning to think with the other comments that our eyes were playing a trip on us with a dark blue colored lacing. The stacked grey sounds more likely.

    Genetics for breeding a blue feathered show bird with black lacing

    Okay, thank you. I'll see if there is a black laced blue ameraucana and if there is, I'll just use that. Otherwise the blue andalaisian and blue ameraucana mated would work as you mentioned.

    Are heritage Barred Rocks worth waiting/paying extra for?

    I see one rooster and three hens. The rooster look like a white bird with black stripes, while the hens look like a black bird with white stripes. The white stripes are thinner on a hen.

    Genetics for breeding a blue feathered show bird with black lacing

    Thank you! Very helpful. Looks like we should invest in a black andalaisan, splash andalaisian and breed them together and then breed that offspring to the blue ameraucana. I think I got that. Does it matter if the rooster is a black or splash andalaisian, or does it not matter? And does it...

    List of Texas cities that allow chickens

    In Fort Worth you are allowed to have 12 chickens (2 of which are roosters). So up to 10 hens, 2 roosters. No rooster is allowed to crow for 10 minutes or more. If so, it is an unlawful noise nuisance. 50 feet away from any human inhabitable structure. This number is for 1/4 of an acre. I...

    Genetics for breeding a blue feathered show bird with black lacing

    How would I breed to produce: 100% blue feathered offspring with black lacing? Would this offspring be recognized by the American Poultry Association for a poultry show? Is there any way to breed my way to a blue feathered, black laced chicken that lays blue eggs?
