If I cross an Isabel Cuckoo rooster over a red (RIR) hen would the chicks be blue? Would the cuckoo sex link the chicks? Would I also get a combination of blue , lav and black if crossed over black? Thank you

Can someone ID this chick? I have my suspension but I would like other's input. It's from Cackle which limits to options. My guess it's around 3-4 days old. Chicks shipped on 7/7. I'm not sure of their processing time from hatch to ship. Probably hatch Monday 7/5.

What would a Biel crossed with. Partridge Rock look like? Thank you in advance.

I have several sub adult and adults with bloody stools. I treated them for Coccidiosis for 7 days , 7 days ago. Stool samples 7 days ago were negative. This past weekend we had significant rainfall (7”). Both my coops were flooded , definitely a petri dish. Now several have bloody stools...

How long should I wait before eggs are edible after Ivermec treatment?

I realize that Opal Legbars are a cross and not an actual breed, so personalities could be very different. I am considering adding Opals but curious to their personality. Does the leghorn in them make them more skittish? How is their laying versus CCL (high quality stock)? Thank you

I crossed my CCO rooster with my Bielefelder hens. We hatched 3 eggs. Two are light colored and one is dark. I am assuming they are sex linked. Which is which? Thank you.
