    Green-footed new baby ❤️

    Does anyone have chickens that have green feet? My new chicks are ameraucana and Marans so I'm not sure what kind of mix she might be. I'm excited to see what she turns out to look like.

    Easter Eggers, 11 weeks

    I hatched a dozen chicks and I got quite a few non-frizzle pullets. They'll still have colorful eggs though, and their genetics include Ameraucana (black and white splash + blue eggs) and Black Copper Maran with deep chocolate and maroon eggs. They're from local breeder Open Gate Farm's large...

    Blue Wheaten French Marans crosses

    So I have a blue wheaten marans cockerel that I am thinking of crossing with a few of my hens. I've been able to find very little on Google about crosses. Does anyone have pictures of their blue wheaten Marans mixes? I'd love to see any and all pictures, but especially x crested cream legbar...

    Creating "True-Breeding" (Homozygous For Blue Shell Base) Olive Eggers

    The only chicken that breeds true for a remotely dark green egg is the Swedish Isbar, an expensive and hard-to-find variety which often lays disappointingly pale eggs. To remedy this, I've come up with a strategy to quickly create olive eggers that are homozygous for the blue shell base gene...

    Olive eggers

    Hi- brand new to the forum! So I have two olive eggers- who’s eggs, when they first started laying, were a beautiful olive color (let’s say October). Now they are laying brown. Is this even possible?? Please let me in on the chicken secrets. Looking forward to learning from you.

    Surely my Olive Eggers are getting closer to gender reveal?

    These two are 8weeks now: tried to get side, tail and head shots. Also, any guesses on their breed mix? Most EE type that I see are darker shades than mine. Thanks!

    Making of an Olive Egger

    So I've had some experience with Olive eggers, right? Right. However, its only been with Marans over Easter Egger hens. Since I love the cheekpuffs, and I'm down to one EE and one F3 Olive Egger, I thought I'd buy some more chicks come Spring. So here's my question: what is the difference...

    Autosexing Olive Eggers

    I'm new to genetics, can anyone tell me if you can get autosexing chicks from Silver Crested Cream Legbars and Cuckoo Marans? I know if you put a black rooster with the Cuckoo's, they'll be autosexing, and Cream Legbars are autosexing by themselves, or you can put Bielefelders and CLs together...
