Several months ago I purchased some hatching eggs from a breeder who assured me he had separate pens for his colors. I am only interested in paints (and blacks and whites). When they hatched, there was one who was definitely not paint and whose colors I have not seen before. I reached out to the...
I hatched her myself and was told she was an Ameraucana. She came out of a blue egg but she’s been free ranging so I have never actually seen her lay an egg to know what color she is laying or even if she is actually laying yet. But she should have blue eggs. I’m having to sell my whole flock...
Hello everyone!
I have this beautiful 9 week old baby (who I think is a pullet 🤔) but I have no idea what breed she could be. Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks!
I ordered 6 chicks (Olive Eggers and Lavender Orpingtons) and then I picked out 3 chicks in a bin with 9 different varieties. I picked all grey/blackish ones. The grey ones could be Sapphire Gem, Americauna, Barred Rock or Specialty Brown layer, or maybe I actually picked more lavender...
Does anyone know what the possible colors are if you were to pair a paint silkie rooster to blue partridge or grey silkie hens? There’s very few resources I’ve been able to find on grey and partridge color genes, I have eggs hatching tomorrow and I’m really curious on what colors to expect.
I thought she was blue, but I’m kind of new to chickens, so I really don’t know what color hen 1 is. hen 2 give the appearance of being chocolate but has white tips on some feathers and white feathers on her feet.
both were hatched in 2021
I just found out I have 3 silkie cockerels. 1 black, 1 gray, and 1 buff.
I have 2 confirmed pullets-1 white and 1 buff.
Which color roo would you keep? I can't keep them all since I have other roos and my bantam flock isn't going to be that big...
The black silkie is only 3 weeks old at this...
So we brought home 2 lavender Orpingtons from my brother's farm. Unfortunately, there was an accident and we lost one. I have a 6 year old autistic step son who would be devastated if he found out.. I ran to the local feed store and purchased this little guy because it was grey in color and he...
Hello everyone.
So, I have two pigeon eggs incubating away. There was a slight issue with my incubator and it overheated for a short time. Nothing too dramatic. Maybe 2 hours at 104ish. I'm not quiet sure what happened honestly but is wasn't super overheated for a long period or anything.
One...
My nearly three year old Mallard bantam still won't allow the blue fawn drake I introduce to them two weeks ago to breed any of the female ducks.
He breeds the mallard hen he came with, and attempts to force the rouen hen to copulate (this rouen is the absolute best friend of my dominant mallard...
I have a three year old mallard hen that proved multiple times she can sit and brood for a while, multiple times. This was before I purchased my new blue fawn call drake, I was considering letting my hen go broody on live eggs, thus breeding the two. Not completely sure I want to do this yet...

Handsome grey and white Silkie roo in need of a good home. Approx 6 mo old, very sweet & friendly, comes to his name, and trained to return to his roost at night. The city of Fresno CA allows the keeping of hens, but not roos, and we got him by mistake with a batch of hens from a breeder who...
I was wondering if anyone could help me guess at the color genes present in my hen? She’s white with gray present in her hackles and some of her longest tail feathers, as her primary flight feathers. Sorry , these are the best pics I have at the moment.
