    Silkie hybrid???

    I got these chicks from a breeder that likely had hybrids, but she thought were pure silkies. They are 2 weeks now and look to be growing in normal feathers. They have black skin and five toes. One has the characteristic dome head. Are they pure silkies or hybrids? They are already double the...

    I have a broody hen but my hatching eggs haven't arrived yet???

    Hi, I've got a broody hen, she's a hybrid, a Columbian Legbar, I think, and she's very determined! I'm waiting on some hatching eggs through the post and I don't know whether to move her to her own pen yet and let her sit on the eggs she has currently claimed in the meantime, or to move her now...

    Silkie Jersey Giant cross breeds!

    I love my white silkie rooster and my big Jersey Giant hen. I believe i have successfully bred the two! (I also have a smooth Sizzle silkie rooster who is in the mix). I'm still trying to figure out who the father is. Has anyone here bred silkies and Jersey giants? This is my first chick at...

    Hybrid?

    I was discussing plans with a friend recently and she warned me that a Toulouse gander could breed with my duck hens. Specifically buff Orpington, and Welsh harlequin. I’ve never heard anything like that. Any truth to this?

    BCM X ? for a somewhat fast growing dual purpose bird?

    I have a BCM I'd like to use to incubate / raise my own meat birds. What do you suggest crossing him with to get a decent sized, somewhat faster growing offspring? Ideally, I'd love hens of a breed that also lays a decent amount of eggs. But then I fear I'd be sacrificing the genetics that...

    Breeding Hybrid/Commercial Birds bad idea?

    This is some advice I was given from a heritage hatchery farm in BC regarding ISA brown breeding: Using a hybrid commercial bird for a cross will give you very surprising results because the different traits of all 4 grandparent lines will sort independently, and the combination that makes the...

    Need help with identification plz

    Hi all, To give a long story short. I bought ducks from the store, they assured me they were muscovies, not hybrid, because I wanted to breed them. However, now that they are older, I know for sure they are not muscovies. When contacting them they assured me once again that their provider sold...

    Easter egger V.S Ameraucana.

    I've heard a lot of people ask, What is the difference between an Easter Egger and a Ameraucana? So I decided to create this article on the differences between the two breeds. First of all, most Ameraucanas only come in specific colors, like black, lavender, buff, white, etc... Easter eggers...

    Crossbreeding For Better Survival

    Hello! As my name suggests, my favorite breed of chicken is the Egyptian Fayoumi. There's one problem with my obsession. My place of residence is in Idaho. As you might know, Fayoumi are much better for hot weather, as opposed to cold weather. But I can work my way around this by crossbreeding...

    Does anybody have Jersey Giant crosses?

    Hi everybody, I have received ISA browns, white leghorns, speckled sussex, rhode island red hens with one black Jersey Giant rooster and I was wondering what a cross between them might look like. Does anyone have pictures of a cross with a giant? The more pictures the better :)
