What colors can I breed with a blue rooster? I’m still building my Orpington flock and he’s young, so what color hens should I try to find for him? Currently I have 3 hens for him: 1 x blue, 1 x blue splash, 1 x cuckoo. What color chicks will I be able to expect from them? And what are...

Hi there! New member here! Im working on Dun, Khaki, and Platinum line Olive Eggers on the west coast! Im hoping to find some other breeders in the US that I could bounce questions back and forth with. My current question is, I had crossed two platinums last spring and created what i thought...

I have this gorgeous Bantam Easter Egger I got from a Bantam Assortment from Cackle Hatchery. I’ve posted about her before asking for help figuring out her coloring and genetics, and from what I got as answers she looks like a splash. Now I know Easter Eggers are most of the time made from...

Okay so I looked to try to find an answer but I can’t! I understand some of the genetics of blue-splash-black but I’m still a bit lost. I purchased three silkies from a blue splash Silkie breeding trio. I saw the trio myself and they were in fact beautiful splash silkies. All three chicks I...

Howdy, my little Ric Flair (Splash Polish Roo) recently mated 2 of my Houdan girls and my Faverolle female. What would their offspring look like? Included a pic of Ric

Hello! I hatched some chicks and I have some questions about their coloration. The one on the left has hardly any feathers on the feet, cheeks like my EE hens and has black running down her legs and onto her toes. The feathers on the black spots are also black. My hens with beards are a blue...

I crossed my rescued farm brown shaver hens with my purebred lavender araucana rooster. I have hatched around 2 dozen eggs from this cross. All the chicks are black down with an orangey face. This is ehat I expected because lavender is recessive underneath lavender is black. However, I did get...

I am getting my first rooster tomorrow. He is a Black Laced Silver English Orpington. He will be covering all the following hens. 3 X Black Laced Silver Orpingtons, 2 X Splash English Orpingtons, 1 Blue (with black lacing, more on this later) English Orpington and 1 Golden Comet. The Blue and...

Hello! A gentleman in Lucasville, Ohio gave me an amazing looking rooster this evening. I finally have a rooster to look after my 5 hens. I have never raised any Easter Eggers or Ameraucanas before so I have no idea which this is. He said it was sold to him as an Ameraucana but it probably...

What happens feather color wise if I breed this hen (she’s white with black leakage) to a blue splash rooster?

What feather coloring would I get from a lavender Ameraucana and blue splash Marans? Is it all blue or 50/50 blue and blue splash?

What color feathers will chicks have if I breed my whiting true blue hen (the blue and brown one in the photo) to a blue splash maran?? TIA 😁

Calling all BBS breeders and geneticists! After much searching, I have yet to find a single post where there is concise, useful information on bbs breeding - so I’m hopefully starting one here! ☺️ I’m new to the BBS breeding world but am not new to the biology/genetics world, so it would be...

Hey y’all! So I have a chick I’d like some opinions on. The mom was almost definitely a splash and the dad is a partridge. It has some of the partridge markings but it also much lighter than what I’ve seen. What do you think?

From Cackle Hatchery stock. $10 for the girls, $5 for the boys, can deliver from Eugene to Crescent area but not ship.

(1) Are you new to chickens / when did you first get chickens? We are new and got baby chicks last Friday and Saturday. 6 days ago. (2) How many chickens do you have right now? 18 chicks. 2 hens( a rescue and a gift) 3 babies died. One immediately despite our extreme lifesaving attempts...

Hey everyone :) has anyone else ever hatched buff splash silkies? I have a few this colour and I’d love to see if anyone has adults this colour

Hello BYC Fam! :woot:frow Anyone have pics of their Blue or Splash jersey giant roosters? I have a pair I got from the hatchery. They are supposed to both be blue, but I am thinking my male must be splash, because he is a much lighter blue color than the female (who is a very dark, almost black...

Hi! I got these 2 ladies a few days ago and were told they were a very light silver partridge. Could they possibly be Splash? They are quite unique and gorgeous whatever color they are! This is my actual silver partridge. Sasha

Hello all, went to check the birds this morning and my poor little serama slowly walked up to me this morning. She looked cold and pathetic. Shivering. Over all lethargic. She feels a bit lighter than normal. Her comb and wattles are red still. I brought her inside to warm up on the heating...
