Hello everyone! I am new to the chicken game and I am starting my own back yard flock. I am interested in making cross breed chickens and was wonder if any of you could help me guess what the off spring might look like from my 2 roosters on my different hens.
So the roosters I have are...
Hello everyone! I have 3 male button quail, one of which I would really like to breed. I was considering purchasing a few Coturnix Celadon quail and trying to cross breed them. Does anyone know if this would be possible? I'm open to trying to cross breed him with other breeds as well. Please let...
In the future I hope to breed chickens and I'm wondering if anyone one here has crossed a Starlight Green Egger with a Prairie Bluebell? If so photos of the offspring and their eggs would be appreciated.
So how I understood reading some genetics? threads, SLW roo with a GLW hen will give SLW hens and GLW roos.
So if I pair my two GLW hens with SLW roo and get a GLW roo, can I then breed the new GLW roo with GLW hens and get both roos and hens GL?
What would thee crosses look like/ meat size also. The Rooster will be a Buckeye.
Buckeye/Barred Rock
Buckeye/Black Australorp
Buckeye/Buff Orpington
Buckeye/Rhode Island Red
Buckeye/Delaware
Buckeye/Dark Brahma
If anyone has any pictures of these crosses it would be very helpful!!
Any idea on...

Here are the list of hens we have

Thinking of keeping fat cheek, bearded EE/ Americauna Rooster with Buff and Black Oprs and Prod Reds. I have 2 cockerels and 8, 11 wk old EEs and 5, 2 yr old hens in my flock. I may keep one roo but am not sure it's worth the trouble. Any advice is welcome!
Hi everyone.
I have a small Porcelain D'uccle roo who runs around with a silver sebright, cream easter egger, and splash silkie hen.
I am hatching out eggs from the silver sebright and silkie.
Does anyone have any photos of what the babies may look like? Or have a general idea of what the...
Hello all and am excited to make my first post. I have 10 8 week old hens (2 Rhode Island Reds, 2 Barred Rocks, 2 Golden Buffs, 2 Cream Legbars, and 2 Barnevelders). It is really interesting getting to see their personalities develop. The idea of breeding to blend their traits really fascinates...
Hi everyone! One of my hens has gone broody. She was a rescue so I have no idea how old she is (young, if I had to guess), what breed she is, or if she has done this before. I currently have two coops in my backyard. The smaller coop is the one that this particular hen is in along with another...
Relatively new to chickens and we bought 12 Isa Browns and we have 6 Rhode Island reds. We went without a rooster for a while but was just given a rooster who is a Dominicker. Wondering if anyone has any pictures of what that offspring would look like? I've tried to Google and not much out there.
Hello,
So I'm looking for some advice;
Early last year I hatched the below cockerel ( Buff Father over light Sussex Mother), not realising that he wasn't pure!
Well now I have him, I'm curious to experiment.
Can anyone tell me please what the offspring of the following would look like:
This...
I have a Blue laced Red Wyandotte rooster. I have a silver laced hen and gold laced hens. If I’m correct, my research says that if I cross my rooster to the silver laced hen I will get a Blue laced white Wyandotte hen. What does this look like, any pictures? I’m not interested in showing the...
I have hens/pullets of several breeds (Hamps, Wyandotte, a rock, an Ameraucana, and sex links). Our rooster is a silkie. If they were to produce offspring, what is the likelihood that the hens genetic aptitude for laying will offset the lower production of the silkie? Is it something that you...
Ok i lost all my chickens ladt year to Hurricane Harvey, had to move and am now starting all over. Have a nice coop and pen for the chicks (5 about 3 or 4 wks old). A neighbor gave them too me. My question is: Has anybody ever delt with mix race chicken? Her yard was full of different roosters...
