    Possible Pullet?

    Hi all, I have a 1 week old Barn yard mix chick bought as a hatching egg under my broody hen. All these chicks I got except 1 are random mixes, but I was wondering if the pattern method can still work even in cross breeds? It has a cream band all the way down it's back and the darker beige...

    Feather (pics!!) comparison/pattern/genetics/etc

    Full disclosure: I’m a genetics nerd. I began playing with breeding different colors/coat types in mice as a teen over 20 years ago and it’s just escalated since 😆 I’m trying to teach myself the quail color/pattern types and since my teen birds are molting I’ve been comparing individual...

    Take a shot at these new roosters?

    Have no clue what breed these boys are. They look like barnyard mixes, and seem like brothers. I got all 3 together, so I might be right about the brother detail?. Different mothers, of course, but I can't put my finger on what the father was. Possibly a Columbian Rock? Not sure... 1st Rooster...

    I've been really interested in learning about chicken color genetics and patterns and such. Any good resources out there for a newbie? I've been breeding my backyard flock and since the rooster is white & black, majority of my chicks are white and black... (Hoping to see some colors leaking...

    Understanding Light Columbia color genetics

    With my current set-up, I have a Light Brahma Rooster over all my hens. Last season I hatched about 8 chicks which all still hold onto the Light Columbia pattern very closely, with the exception of one chick that looks like she got a bit of the dark brahma's pattern just a bit (Currently don't...

    Anyone Have Pictures?

    So...I'm pathologically curious. What would a chicken with the mottled, pattern, AND barred genes look like? Anyone have Pictures? Google has failed me. I may do a side breeding project just to satisfy my curiosity...
