Make the cut behind/under the birds left earlobe, any where else and it is just a mess. You should not be cutting through the beard.... Behind/under left ear is the vein that goes from body to head.... behind/under right ear is the one from head to body. if you cut the right one the blood builds...

post a photo here and we can help... plus we all like chick photos :D

the only thing that is throwing me off is the heavy yellow color.... All my splashes are more on the blue/grayish tints not yellow tints It might be the fav's.... a bit young but when you have many roosters in the same pen sometimes the young one's will not crow even when they are mature. Just...

based on the color combos I'd say it was the blue rooster with the blue hen.

Blue/Black/Splash Color Chart by saridout1985, on Flickr

i dunno either... I have seen blacks look like they have gold in hackles due to sheen I've also seen some with gold in hackles that were pure Ameraucana but some trait somewhere back when threw gold. (the one I've seen had what I call split feather coloring. half black half dark red/golden color...

lol... I've been toying with starting a "Redwood Incubator" thread that people can post the ones they find for sale... I see them all the time just not in my neck of the woods.

For those who have questions about breeding, building coops, trap nest, and poultry management..... www.Archive.org is a great source for the heritage information. I use these books a lot, for breeding information, combined with today's genetic knowledge. Anyhow it is great reading :D Poultry...

where do you buy the egg color chart?

If you are home during the daytime when they lay eggs, you can use trap nest then mark the eggs. I have been thinking of something like this but so far there are only 2 hens I can not tell which egg they lay. Trap nesting is a great way to record which hen laid what egg, which hens are not...

if it was a PM it will be in the trash folder...

congrats!

I'll try and find it again but might be lost in cyber space..... Rooster fighters breed for rooster aggression but not human aggression. What I read was that for game fighting if the rooster gets aggressive with humans they cull the hen that produced the rooster not the rooster. It could be...
