    SOP of Plymouth Barred Rocks

    What is the SOP of Barred Rocks and how do you know they are bred to standard. What would be some imperfections of a poorly bred Barred Rock? I got her from a feed store so I want to make sure she is ready to be put in shows (4H)

    Any Interest?

    Hey everyone! I wanted to gauge interest in a few things I would love to write about. I have a slow-paced job, so I have some time to really deep dive into some topics. I know some have already been written about, but it never hurts to have different perspectives. Please let me know if you guys...

    White Red Laced Cornish- Color genetics

    I am getting black feathering coming through on some of my LF WLR Chicks. My pen mainly has jubilee hens, with a correctly colored WRL Rooster.

    Help me find the European silkie standard

    Right now I've been learning the USA silkie standards, but I'm in Europe and I wonder if the European standard is different from the American standards. Personally I like the look of the American standard silkies better, since I think European silkies are less fluffy and have slightly different...

    What do you think of this silkie rooster+hens?

    What do you think of this white silkie rooster and the silkie hens (one black, one white, and one splash - or is the splash one white with leakage?) They are about 4-5 months on these pictures. I don’t have pictures of their feet, but they all have five toes and feathered feet.

    Silkie feathering

    Hi, I bought some silkie chicks and most of them have hard feathering. I'm planning to breed the hard feathered ones with the chicks with the correct feathers. How many generations I'd need to breed before all the chicks I hatch have the fluffy Silkie feathering?

    Non-blue Earlobes on Show Silkies

    Hello all, I have 4, 5 week old silkies from an extremely good breeder (Kate Morreale) bought as hatching eggs.
