    How did I get WHITE chicks from a blue rooster and blue/black/splash/cuckoo hens? And what will happen if I breed the white back to the blue roo?

    I have Bantam Orpingtons in my backyard flock. This is a new flock that I started in April, all adult (or point of lay) birds from various breeders of bantam Orps. I only have one rooster, he’s blue. And the 5 hens who are the possible mothers are blue, splash, black, and a black cuckoo. My...

    Color Genetics in Orpintons with Blue Rooster

    What colors can I breed with a blue rooster? I’m still building my Orpington flock and he’s young, so what color hens should I try to find for him? Currently I have 3 hens for him: 1 x blue, 1 x blue splash, 1 x cuckoo. What color chicks will I be able to expect from them? And what are...

    English Orpington color cross

    So I’m buying some lavender cuckoo English Orpington hatching eggs, I’m very excited about it. However at the moment I only have a muave rooster. I understand the colors would most likely be split. But I was wondering what colors to expect from muave over lavender cuckoos? Also have a silver...

    Sickly Serama Hen

    I got home the other day and she had serious wry neck. She is an indoor only chicken. I immediately gave her an oral dose of poultry cell. I have polish and silkies, vitamin deficiencies are always a worry. But 2 days later. Now she barely walks. Her wattles are on and off pale. I finally got...

    Need help planning blue barred/cuckoo genetics

    I’m a total rookie so please correct me where I’m wrong. So the idea is: • Male barred + female blue = female blue bar • Female barred + male blue = male blue bar • female and male blue bar = homogynous My bird of choice is the ko shamo. I know of a breeder that sells blue wheaten’s, but then...

    Will their chicks be sexlinked? Will they be sexlinked by skin color?

    I have a cuckoo silkie hen with light skin and a dominant white silkie roo with dark skin. I know that cuckoo female x non-cuckoo male results in non-cuckoo females and cuckoo males. That would be fine if I bred my hen to a black rooster. But I only have a dominant white rooster. I'm wondering...

    Murray McMurray Cuckoo Marans genetics questions

    I've been goofing around with the Chicken Calculator, and I think I might have a crossbreeding gameplan. But, I want to know more about the genetics of the birds involved first. For example, the Cuckoo Marans from Murray McMurray, what is the 'extension of black'? 4 options on the calculator...

    Is she a normal cuckoo or some variation of cuckoo?

    This is my 14 week old silkie pullet Smoky. Normal cuckoos should be darker right? Like with dark black stripes. Some lady once told me she is a chocolate cuckoo, but she doesn't look too brown besides a slight brownish hue on her back. I got a blue cuckoo (I think) from the same breeder. Is...

    Cuckoo Silkie chick??

    I am fairly versed in silkies and I snagged this little one at Atwoods today. I did not know cuckoo silkies were a thing!! I am curious what color everyone thinks this one will end up. It seems to have a black "band" across its eyes and back of head. Has some lighter "fluff" feathers but mostly...

    How does cuckoo act in breeding

    I was wondering, since self blue in breeding breeding acts the same as black (the only difference being that the chicks carry lavender) How would cuckoo act? I have this silkie chick (I desperately hope she's a pullet) and I think she's a cuckoo. But from far away she looks blue. I'm not...

    Polish rooster - what colour would you call this ?

    Hi, so I have this guy… supposedly a white crested Cuckoo Polish but he obviously has another colour tone mixed in. My questions: Is their a name for this colour pattern ? If I breed to a standard white crested cuckoo hen am I going to get gold colour leakage ?

    Cuckoo Maran is sick but it is a mystery to us. Warning: Poop Pictures

    Chicken Poop Pics - Three separate days and taken in the morning after sleeping...these are the worst of the days (from the 7th, 15th, 16th). One of my hens (not even a year old yet) has been having diarrhea (very watery, green, sometimes really mucous-y but no blood and no yolky looking stuff)...

    Olive Egger Cuckoo Roo - recessive?!

    Chicken genetics never cease to amaze and baffle me. I did a late hatch of just 3 chicks last August because I knew a niece would be visiting me and really want to see some chicks. I bred a BCM roo with some of my Easter Eggers. I ended up with a fairly standard Easter egger roo, and a black hen...

    Red raw skin on belly

    Sorry about the title, not sure how to describe it. Today I opened the nesting boxes to collect eggs, and one of my hens was eating an egg in there. (Totally different problem not correlated with this.) I took the half eaten egg out of there and threw it away. When I took the rest of the eggs...
