Before I start: This is all under the assumption that what I think I know is true, that silver is a dominant sex-linked trait, and turns gold/red color white. Hopefully that is true.
I have a 12 week old pullet that is bred from an EE hen and a Lakenvelder rooster. All of her feathers are white...
I've got this cross in my incubator at the moment and I know it will be a sex link but I’m wondering if anyone has pictures of chicks or adults from this specific cross?
I’ll add my own pictures to this thread when they are hatched but that will take a while!
I spoke to a warden about laws to own canada geese a while back and from what i understood one must purchase from a permit holder and then follow state laws if any apply . oh and never loose that receipt/ form . out of curiosity i asked about hybrid canada geese / migratory birds and how the...
Hi,
I have 4, 2 week old Goslings that I need help identifying. 3 who I assume are Toulouse however I thought they had black Bill's as babies, mine seem to have pinkish gray bills and feet. The other has a pink bill and feet. These are the possible crosses since I bought the eggs and hatched...
I just found out that more than 50 species of fowls in Galliformes are closely related and can produce fertile offspring with each other despite their great differences in colors, builds and vocalization.That means we can totally create “integrated pheasants ”exactly the way we want them to...
Hello! My favorite hen Rosie (Easter Egger; profile pic) has 8 of her eggs in the incubator, all of which are viable as of today's candling! 6 days before we started collecting her eggs (and prior to that), she was in contact with an Easter Egger rooster and two Lakenvelder roosters. The...

Anyone with hybridization knowledge, or anyone who breeds/has bred Mules, feel free to chime in. I'm piecing together whether or not starting a project in the future is worth it and any help is appreciated.
Basically, I was thinking that I could breed a huge batch of mules using a Pekin drake...
I've just been using (slightly)educated guesses on who to pair up to get a white chicken with black skin. Ive only been successful a couple times and it seems to be a random thing that is difficult for me to reproduce. If anyone has some advice or can share experience it would be very helpful...
Does anyone have any Black Copper Marans X Cornish hybrids? If so do they retain the somewhat dark egg colour of the Marans or does it look like a standard grocery store brown egg? Does breeding a Cornish rooster to Marans hens yield sex linked birds? I'm looking to have meet birds who have eggs...
Hello! I have recently had a problem with blight spotting my san marzano paste tomatoes to death. I presume it's a combo of early and late blight. I live in an extremely wet climate. We get near-rainforest levels of precipitation each year and my area in particular is former swampland... So you...

I plan on breeding my cayuga drake to Muscovy females for hinny ducks. I will be using the male hinnies for meat and was wondering if it was worth the effort of keeping the females for eggs. I've heard that they lay more inconsistently and have smaller eggs, but I'm curious about people's...
