    Can Silkie Cockerels Crow Early?

    EDIT: We know he's a boy, please don't post talking about his gender. I just want my question answered :):) Probably a dumb question but can they crow early at 6 weeks old? Our Lavender bantam Silkie Cockerel named Spiky Mikey may be crowing early. He's making a pathetic noise that may be his...

    Lavender Ameraucanas

    I recently acquired 2 Lavender Ameraucana chicks from a breeder a couple roads down; one is a day older than the other and that’s already enough for a noticeable size difference between the two but that’s not what I’m supposed to be rambling on about LOL. They’re both feathering in on their...

    Guinea fowl genetics... and wattles

    Hey guys! So I have a theory about guinea fowl genetics and I haven't seen it anywhere else but... flat and curly wattles. Some females have curly wattles (like my Misty and Glossy) but most have flat. Some males have flat wattles (like my Flap and Tabby) but most have curly. Male sex...

    Rooster...?

    I'm on the fence. This is a Lavender Orphington that hatched on March 3rd. I've went back in forth, it's comb was always on the medium size. It matched my pullets up until maybe the last week or so. It's comb turned pinker than it has been and it's tail kinda sits up a little higher now. It's...

    Identification and advice Please!

    Hey! We were given our two beautiful hens by a friend of a friend who shows chickens, but he couldn’t give us much information on them. I can’t seem to find any of the same liking online to specifically identify! We know that they’re lavender bantams but their feathered feet are what confuses...

    Lavender to Splash Orpington - who's done it, and what were the results?

    Hi! I just got a dozen of lavender X splash orpington eggs, setting them in the incubator tomorrow. I'm finding it hard to figure out which color the chicks might be - the breeder showed me chicks she had from the same mix and they looked lavender to me, definitely not black, but her birds are...

    Sexing Lavender Araucana Chicks

    This is my first time hatching Lavender Araucana. They are bred from UK standard show stock so they are totally different from US standards but hopefully someone will be familiar with this breed.

    I have a pure lavender ameraucana rooster, and a barnevelder hen I'm thinking about breeding this year. Has anybody crossed this pair and gotten nice olive eggs? Or are they likely to come out more like an EE egg? I know most people use marans for the dark brown eggs but I don't have any of...
