I know this thread is a little old but for anyone still curious about a Jersey Giant crossing with. Silkie well here it is. This is one of two jersey roosters I have who are the only roosters around. Then there is the only silkie plus her chicks. They have her extra toes but the rooster's...
I recently adopted a small female potbelly and she is pregnant by a Juliana. Well she had the babies the other night so as of this post they are two days old. There were 6. Four individuals that are black with various range of socks. There were two that were spotted but they were not fully...
These are four different individuals. I am not sure what kind of bantams they are nor what gender. I think the two middle ones are male. I have six but two that aren't pictured look a lot like the first and the last.

I was watching my chickens after feeding them and I noticed that a few of them are growing rooster tail feathers but a couple are not nor do they have very bright comb or waddles. I bought a fry pan special from Meyer. Is it possible that they might have sent me a pullet or two? They are black...
It was really cold the past week so i had two heat lamps going in case one went out. I am so glad I did. I had a heat lamp go out twice. Has anyone else had problems with the glass part of the bulb separating from the metal part.
I have a large shed that my family has used as a chicken house for years. I had to replace the floor and decided to revamp the coop since we had to gut the building to get to the floor. I want to add a brooder to the coop so that all birds can see each other and hopefully help with introductions...
I wasn't sure how to describe their eye markings. I have heard some breeds have certain characteristics associated with each gender. But since these seem to be Old English Bantams then they obviously don't have those kind characteristics. It would be cool to have both duckling varieties. Sent...
Went to Tractor Supply to my pick up some chicks to replace the ones I lost in the last two months and all they had left were 10 assorted bantams. They had a 6 chick minimum so I just went with all of them. Anyway they all look about the same so I assume they are the same breed. Would anyone be...
I used to play horse games that involved genetics to get certain traits on the horses when I was younger. I know most genes are either dominant or recessive but some are co-dominant. Like in people there is not a gene that for being a red head like there is for blonde or brown but rather a gene...
I have seen people saying they are developing new colors in a certain breed on chicken and I was wondering exactly how they do that. It would be super cool to have more colored lacing on Wyandottes. I seen a chocolate laced Orpington I think it was. But the lacing looked just like a Wyandotte.
