This is a very new colour combination for Australia, it is a combination of sex - linked Australian Chocolate and Recessive Red eyed Cinnamon. "Peaches" is the first known Peach Guinea fowl in the world! Nini Eades has hatched the second Peach and I've recently hatched # 3 and # 4.
Well as your season comes to an end here in Australia our season is just starting!
Very excited as I've just set a dozen eggs from my pearl pied double splits (split Aussie choc, split lavender) and my other project birds that are pearl pied double splits (split Aussie choc, split cinnamon)...
I'm just curious if anyone has had fertile eggs from a yearling peacock before? My young pied male grew up with guineas and for the last 2 weeks he has been mating successfully with one of the Lavender pied Guinea hens. Pic of him below.
Hi guys, I posted on another thread a picture of my little guinea / chicken hybrid but thought I'd do up it's own thread if anyone is interested in seeing updated pics as it grows :) Mum is a pearl pied guinea and dad is a black red malay rooster! out of 8 eggs 4 were fertile but unfortunately...
I have finally got some ducklings from my Ancona drake over a rippled pied Muscovy duck! Much harder to breed than I expected! Anyway I have 4 Hinnies and am very happy with that! And one of them is very unique (I think you'll see why) I set 20 eggs and out of those 20 only 9 were fertile and...
Hi all, well wayback when I wanted to develop a line of pied and magpie Call ducks as there were none available in Australia.... All I could find to work with were huge pied indian runners and indian runner crosses, So I decided to give it a go. Well I'm absolutely over the moon with the results...
Hi all, has anyone heard of such a hybrid? Is it possible? The bird in this link is claimed to be one? Can anyone confirm or dismiss this? (scroll down)

Hi all, I have some Muscovy girls here who came out of a flock of mixed colours, the lady I got them from did have one Muscovy that resembles your rippled mutation, so I was very lucky that I got splits for this colour and bred a few! We are supposed to be void of them here, anyone keep ripples...
I recently got this goose (or gander) and I have never seen anything like it here before, can anyone tell me the correct term used for this colour?
He he/she is next to the standard goose grey colour....
And another shot.....
I have always been really fascinated by mule ducks (Muscovy cross mallard derived duck) so I have decided to do the cross myself and see what I get!
A lot of the mules and hinnies I have seen are very striking birds, and variation between them is so varied depending on the parents used. I...
22 eggs laid, 22 eggs hatched :D
Good ol trusty Bertha LOL with her "Pile O keets"
2 more cinnamon pied keets! AND 2 Silver pieds!!! I didn't think i'd gte any this year so I'm extremely happy about them!
They almost look like albinos!
Hi guys, I posted way back when about wanting to produce pied call ducks here in Australia as there are none, and the only way I could do that was to cross my calls with pied runners.
