cross breed

So my girls are starting to lay and I'm hoping to start a breeding project to learn more about genetics. Here's what I have to work with: Easter Egger Sapphire Olive Egger (Hens only) Amberlink (Hens only) Prairie Bluebell Egger (Hens only) Australorp Maran Orpington Wyandotte Brahma (Hens Only)...

I'm just super excited so I made a thread! My girls just stared laying and I popped one egg in the bator and it pipped this morning! It's from my Sapphire Olive Egger (she doesn't lay green eggs but oh well) and most likely my White Japanese Bantam. It's pipped at the wrong end but I've had eggs...

I might buy this chicken and I’m wondering your guesses on what breed it is. It seems to have a pea comb so thinking ameraucana cross or brahma cross. I don’t see a beard but can an Ameraucana cross not have a beard? I’m really hoping it would lay a coloured egg but if it’s leaning more towards...

Does anybody have any Liege Fighter cross projects to share? Mine are about 4-5 months old at this point. The 1st 2 and last 2 pictures are the same bird. I thought it was funny that he had the red forehead like the full blooded red and black Lieges I have as a chick but got white eyebrows like...

Ok so I have a small serama hen that just started laying. I have one silkie rooster that is very nice to her. I was hoping to they could match up! Is it possible? Or will the silkie rooster be too big for her? He tried once but she sounded panicked. Anyone have any experience they could share...

I can find no recent information or research online regarding turkey pheasant hybrids. There are some historical articles, however, nothing seems to indicate the ability as of recent inquiries. Well, here we have a turkey pheasant hybrid incubated from a egg we took from our blue slate hen. We...

Mr Mirto's off spring. The "teenagers"

Hi! We have now four broody hens. I was wondering if anyone has crosses of the following: White Maran (H) x Black Andalusian Welsummer (H) x Black Andalusian Frost White Legbar (H) x Black Andalusian Olive Egger (H) x Black Andalusian I’m interested to see whether anyone has examples of these...

Just acquired a few new 7-8 week olds to my flock and I'm questioning the breeds. I was told the left 2 are Starlight Green Eggers, middle is a buff Orpington, next is unknown or possibly Golden Comet, and last is BR which is obvious. The buff looks nothing like my 2 buffs so I don't think she's...

I’m interested in hatching chicks. I was hoping to cross my white leghorn roo with my ameurucanas. Does anyone have experience with this? Will the eggs still be colored? Would they still have the fluffy beards? I was just curious about traits and things...

So, what do you think the out come will be here? I have a racer cock - and a odd winged colourd hen. She's now on eggs after pairing with the racer.

Hi guys i was wondering if anybody could help me. I’ve recently bought 2 black silkie hens but they only seem to have 4 toes (on each foot). Does this mean they are crossed with something else? If I were to put them with a silkie cockerel and hatched some eggs would the offspring have 5 Toes...

Had anyone crossed an Easter Egger with a Speckled Sussex? If so do you have pictures? Thanks 😊

I hatched some chicks that are now 12 weeks old. In unsure of the sex on two of them. One of the chickens in question is a light brahma and the other is a cross between a light brahma and partridge cochin. I couldn't get good pic of the crossbred chicken's tail so I'll try again tomorrow.

Like in previous post I am again having problems sexing Sussex chickens, I recently hatched 7 out of 10 eggs. These chicks are now 4-5 weeks old and are a cross between Light Sussex and a ISA Brown and Black hen. I do not know specifically who the mother is of which chick as they all look pretty...

Hey guys, first day as a real member of the BYC community, been a lurker for years. Joined literally just to ask this question. lol. Attaching pics of the rooster and hens. The only Lavender hen isn't laying quite yet, so all the babies will be a crossbreed. Has anyone done this particular cross...

Kiwi is a young pullet cross of a buff orp rooster and a columbian wyandotte. She is going to be smaller than her mama and has no butt. I love her, one of my favorite crosses I’ve hatched so far 😍

Hello, I am wondering what will happen if I cross my RIR rooster back with some of my sex link hens. Will the hens that come out, lay just as big eggs or will they not lay very much at all.

I think I may have my first rooster. We usually get sexed chicks but wanted a Mille fleur d’uccle. We have 16 other breeds in our flock. I would love to try to hatch some eggs but I don’t know where to start & have so many questions. Can this little guy breed with other, larger breeds? Will I be...

Okay, so I have something fun to share! I have a rooster that is a silkie crosses with a blue laced red Wyandotte! And I gave him to a friend that has pure bred black copper Marans, and they gave me a few hatching eggs after about a month! This is where it gets interesting! If you look at the...
