    New Variety Idea?

    I had a hypothetical idea for breeding a (possibly) new variety of Leghorn. I’d begin with a Single Comb Light Brown Leghorn rooster with Rhode Island Red hens. The offspring should look phenotypically like Rhode Island Reds. If I backbreed one of the offspring with another Brown Leghorn, there...

    Brown Leghorn x Rhode Island Red Cross

    I am planning on getting some Rhode Island Red hens and putting them with my Brown Leghorn rooster with the intent of breeding them and incubating their eggs. I’m hoping the result will be an excellent producer of light brown eggs. Leghorns and Rhode Island Reds on their own are already great...

    Breeding California Grey Chickens

    Yep. I used the chicken breeding calculator to sort of reverse engineer how they did it. First, you’d breed a BR rooster with a WL hen. Breed hens from the F1 generation to a BR rooster so they’ll F2 will be homozygous for barring. Breed F2 rooster with a WL hen. Breed F3 hen with F2 rooster...

    Bantam and Standard Chicken Interbreeding

    So I'm fine keeping them together then and in the off chance one of my bantam roosters breed my leghorn hens and a broody hen hatches them, the chicks would be healthy?

    Bantam and Standard Chicken Interbreeding

    I was aware they have the same number of chromosomes. I just assumed it was similar to breeding dogs. Like obviously a chihuahua couldn't breed a great dane naturally and if you were to do artificial insemination to breed a chihuahua to a great dane, if the puppies are born they would have...

    Egg Color Genetics Question

    I started thinking maybe breeding a Barred Rock (BR) rooster with a White Leghorn (WL) hen, breeding the F1 hybrid hens back to a BR rooster, breeding the F2 hybrid rooster to a WL hen, breeding the F3 hybrid hens back to the F2 hybrid rooster and just repeating breeding barred rooster with WL...

    Bantam and Standard Chicken Interbreeding

    Would breeding a bantam rooster with a standard hen work? If it did work, would the chicks have health issues like muscular and skeletal problems? I don't plan to do a standard x bantam cross at least not intentionally but I am keeping Silver Duckwing Old English bantam roosters and hens...

    Can you mix silver leghron cockerel with other leghorn(hen) colors to get chicks that are like dad or mom.

    If you backbreed the pullets to a purebred Silver Leghorn, will their chicks look like a purebred?

    I want to create my own new breed, something similar to a Holland.

    Egg Color Genetics Question

    The barring gene is sex-linked so females will always be heterozyguous barred. I think I will be able to tell more often than not by the way the barring looks if males are homozyguous or heterozyguous for barring.

    Egg Color Genetics Question

    I think I have it planned out for the first few generations. First generation: Barred Rock rooster over Brown Leghorn hen. Hybrids will be heterozyguous barred. Gen 2: Brown Leghorn Rooster over Hybrid Hen. Resulting Roosters should have a chance at being heterozyguous barred. Gen 3: Backbreed...

    Egg Color Genetics Question

    Does the hen's father or mother affect the egg color of the eggs that she lays more? If I were to breed a rooster of a dark egg color breed with a hen of a light egg color breed, would their offspring lay lighter or darker eggs than if I were to breed a rooster of a light egg color breed with a...

    Mystery Chick from Murray McMurray

    Thank you. Yeah. That’s kind of what I suspect too. Australorp is the most popular solid black breed. Ayam Cemanis are pretty popular as well but it’s definitely not that because it wouldn’t have the light splotches if it were. It would be solid jet black all over.
