Hello there, in bits and pieces yeah

Nice list and good information. Regarding Easter Eggers, in my experience they go broody very frequently though.

In my humble opinion :D She wont lay until her broodiness breaks. She wont start laying until she is fully done being broody. No, easiest way to get her over it is to either give her eggs or day olds to raise, or to separate her completely with food and water and "break" her. kind of like a...

Hey, you still around?

Sorry i should have said it more clearly, Dominant white "Can be bred into many varieties" Also worth noting dominant white is a more interesting gene if you are interested in getting a lot of variety in colour. Dominant white will hide black, but not red(unless it is pure), making it less...

Could be a Hyline although the legs dont look that yellow?

Okay well here a few to get you going. --- Partridge --- Silkies Wyandottes Plymouth Rocks Cochins Chantecler Brahma Welsummer Easter Egger --- Dominant white --- This gene can be bred onto many birds. Plymouth Rock Orpington Rhode island red Cochin Australorp Araucana Easter Egger The black...

The black chickens look to be split on an E/e^b split base, that would explain the red leakage in the feathers as well as the feet not being as bright a yellow as others, as for the "white leakage" is probably due to mottling, pretty easy to spot early on and as they develop, see here for...

Hi, there are so many that fit those description. We would need a bit more info to go on. Why those colours? Are you looking for layers, showers, meat birds or just pretty chickens?

Nice start, i was pretty close to getting the standard when i had to move and sell all of mine.

Try living seeds hatchery, they have a facebook page and contact info, they do have some currently if i recall correctly.

Sure whats up?

Partridge is a base colour so isnt really created. The patterning comes from a gene and not a combination of other colours. Partridge is a bird on an eb background, carrying two copies of the patterning gene. For it to be "correct" the bird needs to have two copies of a gene responsible for the...

Sorry i forgot to answer the last question. The Buff Colombian traits will breed true(assuming your Buff Colombians are pure For Pg and Co), but the mottling may not. Mottling is recessive and so will only display if the offspring are pure for it. You will be able to tell within two weeks of the...

Those are the base genes. I have seen better patterned birds with the Melanotic and mahogany genes added in too. The mottling gene pushes out the colour patterns very nicely in partridge birds and gives you a solid base for millie fluer, the columbian gene is there to arrange the patterning into...
