colors

Hi! So this year I decided to get into Brahmas!! I am going to get 18 pure Brahma chicks and I am so excited!! Hopefully I will get them tommorow if my Dad has time to pick them up🤞. So the gal has 5 different colored chicks and I was wondering which color you like the best? I am hoping to keep...

Rarest color mix I have from my newest clutch

Sorry for the awful photos, I’m nervous to get them out again! I’m so excited to have them, waiting for them to calm down to sex. If anyone notices like, a blatant feather sexable roo please tell me! I’d also love to know what varieties they are! I love my beautiful rainbow quail mix!!!!

I haved a wyandotte, Easter Egger, and a buff orpington. My first two dont have what I would consider distinguishable coloring to their feathers at 1.5 months old. I am curious as to what they will look like as adult hens. When will they get their full coloring and feather patterning?

What colors do you think these two silkie babies will be?

I know it’s probably still too early to tell what they are but was wondering if anyone on here would be able to. If not I will post weekly pics of them as they grow to figure out coloring. Thanks. If it helps the last 5 pics are the parents. White one is the dad.

Does anyone know what type of tuxedo this would be called?

Doing a hatch of my birds I was just wondering if anyone knew what colors I could get from these. The white one is the boy the others are the girls.

hey guys! so i’m just looking for some input, outside of my own brainstorming. feel free to pm me if you don’t want to give away your secrets publicly. 😉 i’m preparing to start a project, creating my own breeds of colored eggers. shooting for all green shades, may mess around with blue but only...

I have a 6(ish) month old Australorp hen whose comb/wattles/ears keeps changing from healthy red to an extremely pale, almost white. This seems to happen mostly while she’s out and about, foraging in the yard. I first noticed this happening last weekend, and I thought it was frostbite so I...

Our first meat chickens are here! We have 22 New Hampshire Reds from Freedom Ranger Hatchery (Henry Knoll line). Lost just a few to travel stress, it took them an extra day to get here, everyone is doing good now. Made it through our first frost last night too (inside with a heat lamp of...

My rooster is a dominant white with red leakage on the wings and streamers. I will be breeding him to black (carrying recessive white) hens. I think 1 hen is starting to show silver leakage in the crest now that she's molting. In theory if he passed on dominant white to black, then the chicks...

What would the offspring of a gold laced cochin bantam over mottled cochin bantam look like?

I hatched 6 silkie chicks a couple days ago. 2 lavender, 2 that are supposed to have biggest crests, beards and leg floof and 2 chicks from my own chickens (1 of those is a silkie × bantam brahma). In short I had eggs from 3 different places and 2 chicks hatched from every place. I still have 6...

I’m so confused what these are. Idk if these were “fathered” by my paint, recessive white, or splash rooster but I have these hens: Black Buff Recessive White Weird red pyle color Splash Paint

Hi everyone, Forgive me if this is one of those eye roll questions. I’ve tried to use the genetic calculator and since I’m not a rocket scientist, can someone tell me what colors I might expect out of the chicks from a yellow roo mixed with light gray hen? (I know about the frizzle/smooth...

Hi! This is my first post, but I've been reading you for a while. Is there someone who recognise this Japanese quail color? And if so, is it a hen or a ro? It is 5 weeks old now, and I would hope it is feather sexable. Thanks a lot!

Hi all, My stunted quail chicks have finally been growing, it was definitely the food brand that was the cause of all our past problems, so the quail are now getting much rounder and feathered. They’re a month old. Now I’m trying to figure out what a couple of these colours could be. I thought...

Not sure I titled this correctly, but I have a lovely EE/Barnyard Mix hen who is reaching the end of her laying days. She is over 7 years old. I just hatched an adorable chick from her, but so far it appears to have taken all it's father's looks. Which I mostly expected, he is pure black. I...

So I’ve been getting really good at breeding, hatching and raising from my first starter flock that I got three years ago. I love these little ducks, but now I’ve got more colors and am trying to figure out colors and patterns I can breed to get new colors but not get muddy birds. I have black...
