new breed

Okay, this is going to be a long one. I produced a gradient chicken pattern several years ago and have since lost all of the chickens associated with the line. I am wanting to replicate it. The start was an EE. Rosaline. This was in crisp 2015. I do not know what breeds this EE was made out...

Every time I post my black silkie/isabel brahma mix online in my local FB groups everyone always asks what her breed is and that she's absolutely gorgeous and they'd want one. I posted something about her being broody and trying to get her to stop and someone said that I should definitely let...

I'm considering creating a new breed so to say. I love my Jubilee orpingtons so much, Buffs too. And I was interested if by crossing them I could get something like Jubilee but for the base color to be closer to buff. Hope someone can help me and inform me if I should even try it, what are the...

Hello everyone! I'm interested in learning more about the creation of new breeds. From what I understand so far, it is necessary for a breed to breed true to be considered a proper breed. I was wondering if anyone could tell me how genetic diversity would be introduced in the creation of a new...

Okay so I won't actually be attempting to make a new breed anytime soon as I'm still a minor and I don't have the space either, but I do one day want to attemt to create a new breed. How are new breeds created? And what are all the F1 and F2?? I guess I just need someone to explain how it works...

I have 2 eggs in the incubator, hatching in 1 week. The eggs are from a partridge Welbar rooster over a Barred Rock hen. when this cross is done with a welsummer, the chicks are sex linked. Is this also Going to be the case over the welbar? Or is the extra barring going to change things? In my...

I got this in my email. New Frizzle Easter Egger! Pretty cool to me! What do y'all think?

So i was going to get my first dove in a few months and I'm researching where to get it when I stumbled on the miniature ringneck doves on stromburg chicken. I tried to look up miniature ring necks doves and I found nothing. Does anyone know what they are ,how they act, lifespan,and experience...

I bought some more baby chicks at rual king the other day, the tags said that they were new and rare breeds. Curious if anyone’s heard of or knows anything about them. The first picture is a Blue Plymouth with the other 4 circled in the back, and the second picture circled is calico princess.

I currently have a pair of Blue Laced Red Wyandotte Chickens that I would like to have purebred offspring, and crossbred offspring from. I have 10 Cream Brabanter chicks that will be coming in the mail sometime in April. I was thinking it would be neat to develop a new color of the very rare...

Yay!!! I decided what breeds to get as some of you may know I decided to get more the breeds. Thank you for the recommendations by the way. I decided to go with one Leghorn named Grace. A Golden Laced Wyandotte named Penny. Last but not least two Amerecaunas named Grethchen and Charlie (short...

I bought some chicks (straight run for $1.99) at Tractor Supply.. and the label read "Rainbow egg layers". I thought to myself these chickens must lay colorful eggs (hence the sign). I asked the lady there at TSC if they laid colorful eggs and she assumed they did, so i went on and got them...
