You are probably going to get a good variety of colors from these eggs. Do not buy them unless you want big birds because I think these will be very large. More about this breed in this thread. One dozen (12) hatching eggs for $18. Shipping is $12.80 to all 50 states. Start a flock of Rainbow...

Does anyone have any Black Copper Marans X Cornish hybrids? If so do they retain the somewhat dark egg colour of the Marans or does it look like a standard grocery store brown egg? Does breeding a Cornish rooster to Marans hens yield sex linked birds? I'm looking to have meet birds who have eggs...

Both of the parents indeed have pea comb type if i am incorrect, sorry.. Fairly certain the comb would be brighter&more vibrant in color, months before now, if it were indeed a rooster? Plus, it has a half sibling born same week that is a full blown roo right now! crowing and breeding. LOL

Hello. I'm hoping someone can help me in understand this. As I understand in the gene is recessive but I am struggling to fully grasp it. I have a young exchequer leghorn cockrel as in the photo. I'm thinking to get some red mottled leghorn pullets. If I cross these two birds what colour will I...

I’m not sure if I’m posting in right place. I noticed my little Silkie still has a lot of pin feathers with that white covering still partially on them. She has an extremely crooked beak , so she can’t preen herself. Her sister doesn’t have any feathers still like this. Their 8months old. I...

Back Story: So 6 years ago I bought some large fowl wheaten ameraucanas chicks from neighbors, they purchased their stock from John Blehm. I also bought some heritage large fowl barred rocks that fall, I believe from Kraig Shafer at the Ohio Nationals. While all were pinned together I had...

Hypothetical Question: I have Single Barred & Double Barred Males, as well as Barred Females. Crossed over Crele Males & Crele Females. Can I cross them, then back cross to improve the barring on the Creles? If so, what is the best cross to accomplish this? Genetics explained with genes as...

I have 2 gold lace Sebright hens and a Silver lace rooster. I'm wondering what potential colors the offspring could be if I hatched. Does anyone have pictures of offspring from this cross?

Are cornish cross chickens usually vaccinated for mareks, etc... and what about tractor supply? Do they vaccinate theirs?

I know this question has been asked before, but I was thinking about raising a cornish cross as a pet/laying hen. I know they get big really fast but I was wondering if I raised it on regular chick starter and eventually regular laying hen food, would it turn out just fine? I would definitely...

I'm incubating some eggs. My main Rooster is an Easter Egger and I have some EE hens, and a road island red hen and a Dominique hen, and I wanted to know what the mixes will look like as adults and if they will lay green eggs.

We are expecting around eight chicks to hatch in the next week. They will be $3 dollars a chick, and straight run only. The eggs are from our Black Langshan, Light Brahma, and Cuckoo Marans hens, and all have been bred by our Splash Australorp Rooster. I have attached a picture of our rooster...

Which, in your experience or opinion, yields more breast meat out of those? I have a red broiler i wanted to breed to my cornish cross but last night I was like maybe a heritage rooster would be better since they breed true. Plus, this red broiler doesn't have much breast meat. My cornish cross...

I recently got an adorable gosling, the lady said he was a week old maybe 2, and that he was an embden. When i got there, the parents looked like they had some light tan on them but i couldnt see well cuz they were busy puffing up and hissing at me lol. Anyways, i wasnt too concerned because the...

Just put my young bielefelder roos with my young flock of deleware hens and was curious to see if anyone else had crossed these two breeds. We are just leaving the guys out there until we hatch some more bielefelder pullets but curiosity has the best of me. Anyone have any pictures of the...

The mom is either a black swedish or black swedish x mallard. She has a black head and neck, a clean white chest with no hazy edges, and brown plumage for the rest. The male is 100% mallard. Does anyone have pictures of this cross?

I am soon going to have gold laced sebrights and gold spangled bantam appenzeller spitzhauben. While i want to breed the sebrights towards the sop, i also want to try my own project. That would be creating a small, gold laced and crested (hopefully crest will remain of the spitzhauben type). I...

Hi! My CL rooster is finally grown and has just started fertilizing eggs. He is the only rooster in my bunch so he has all the girls going now. I’m wanting to breed for egg color, particularly the dark browns, deep olives and strong blues. What would be good crosses to work towards these...
