    Ameraucana Genetics Clarification

    Which color Ameraucana parents would produce 50% Silver - 25% Black - 25% Splash? Would ANY pairing be able to produce this percentage of these colors? I purchased a dozen hatching eggs from someone who appears to be at least an honest seller. She has very good feedback, but that probability...

    Making the most of small spaces

    Hello fellow chicken lovers! I had a random thought and I would appreciate your feedback on it. I am in the planning stages of building three breeding pens. What I was thinking is that it would be neat to have one rooster covering two breeds of hens. So I would get purebred chicks and hybrid...

    Olive Egger chicks: males?

    One is 6 weeks old and the other is 7 weeks old. "A" hasn't crowed yet, but the comb and wattles look very pink for the age... "B" has crowed twice in 7 weeks, but the comb is still pale in comparison with the brother (pictured in 1st comment below) who has a dark red, larger comb. I was hoping...

    Is this a Blue-Swedish/Mallard Hybrid?

    We lost our "Squeaky"-duck to a predator in early January. She was a feral escape that walked cross-country onto our place one afternoon. Initially very skittish, but we became close friends and she loved to race me and our kayak around the pond. She was small-to-medium in size, and not heavy...

    Have any of you ever had khaki Campbell x Muscovy crosses? How common is it? What did they look like?

    How common is it for Muscovies and Mallard-derived breeds to cross? Is it less likely to happen if there is a muscovy drake around? I did not separate my muscovy duck from the khaki Campbell drake, I don't think the drake would have bred her because for whatever reason the Muscovies sort of...

    Best Heritage Breed for to Improve Small Broilers?

    Hi all. We are starting a fibro broiler project and are looking for advice. We intend to use Svart Hona, a slightly stockier (and winter-hardy) fibro breed than the more popular Ayam Cemani; they top out at 5-7lbs, vs the Cemani 3.5-5.5lbs. However, that's adult weight, not butchering weight...

    Lavender ameraucana and silkie hybrid chicks. Can the sex be determined through wing sexing? Help!

    Hi all, I have two recently hatched (just a day old) chicks that I’m wondering can be sexed. There is a lavender ameraucana and another one crossed with a silkie. From what my knowledge is, I’d assume we have a hen and a roo- but I’m not very sure. May anyone help? Thanks!

I have been searching for a place to move to where I can keep some chickens of different breeds and maybe turn them into a new two purpose chicken. Yeah there are already quite...

    Hybridising Chinese Painted Quail and Japanese Quail

    For a while now I have had two Chinese painted (CP) quail (assumed a pair) living with my Japanese Coturnix (JC) hens. Surprisingly, the CP roo has not once mated with his CP hen. Instead, he took a fancy to my JC hens. At first it was a futile attempt, he would climb on their necks and sit...

    Guinea x Ring-neck pheasant Hybrid

    So, I used to have a bunch of ringneck pheasant and my husband accidentally left the door open and everything but one of my albino hens took off. I didn't want to get rid of her and she was lonely so I figured pheasants and guineas are both aggressive types of birds so I put her in the pin with...

    Pheasant/chicken hybrid photos

    So for years I’ve been very interested in pheasant/chicken hybrids and I’ve always enjoyed finding pictures and videos of them. The issue is though, that it’s really a pain to find them sometimes, so I decided to collect every picture I could and post them in one spot. If you have any pictures...

    Breeding Red Stars

    We have a few red stars and a beautiful rooster. I understand they’re hybrids but I’m unsure about breeding. If we hatch their eggs what breeds will we get?
