I've got a Mosaic x Easter egger, basically a super mutt, that looks like a mosaic but lays blue eggs. I would love to hatch some of her chicks if they could be a similar color of plumage and lay colored eggs. Is her coloration considered Columbian? Or is it not a true color, just a mix with a...
I know it's pretty early, but I'm curious if anyone has gender predictions for this chick before I get too attached. It's a moss egger from the alchemist farms line, and I'm unfamiliar with the variety. To me, it seems like a roo due to the redness of the comb. Any thoughts?

I've been meaning to make this post for a while, but this is the story of my one winged Ayam Cemani/d'uccle chick, Bethany Hamilton. Otherwise known as Ham. I want to share it in case someone in the future is wondering what to do with an injury like Ham's...
And suddenly, she has ginger highlights! I've never had a chicken change color after a molt before. She's actually some sort of Mosaic mix (maybe EE, she lays green eggs).
I'm curious as to what people think might hatch from this mystery batch of eggs I just got. I'm thinking Easter Eggers based on the crazy colors but some are so dark green they're almost brown! Olive Eggers? Any thoughts?
Hello! I just picked up these two. I'm unfamiliar with d'uccle colors and I'm not sure if this is just variation within the color or if the one without grey spots is a different color variety? Thanks for the help.
Hi all, just wondering how these colors mix. Does anything with a blue base have the same black/blue/splash outcomes as regular blue, or is there color bleeding involved? Or something else entirely 🤣
So,
Blue x Blue = 25% black, 50% blue, 25% splash
Blue x Blue Quail=?
Blue x Blue Mille=?
Blue...
I would love to learn more about color genetics and have had a hard time narrowing down info. If I crossed my black mottled d'uccle hen with a porcelain rooster, what would the chick's color likely be?
What about a mille fleur x black mottled?
Thanks in advance!
Hey! So as my exchequer leghorn's tail feathers keep growing so pointy, so does the dreaded feeling that my favorite future layer is going to be a rooster. Any opinions- is Alice actually Alan?
He/she is super outgoing and vocal (no crowing type noises yet though)
Here is Poppy the silver...
I was given a 12 week old lavender orpington two or three weeks ago. She was fine for a few days and then her eyes started bubbling and then swelling. At first I thought it was irritants, and then stress since she had traveled from southern california to northern california. I left her for a day...
