Hi all, So I have a few questions regarding bantam x standard breeds crossing. I have a bantam cochin rooster, and standard sized Cochin hens, if I hatch any chicks out of this cross, what would the result be size wise? My Cochin bantam roo isn’t APA, just a hatchery bird, if that helps...

Hi all, Like many, I’m looking to start a project to create a true breeding meat breed that resembles the Freedom Ranger/Red Ranger. I’ve seen in many threads that most Ranger/pasture meat bird breeding stock females are Dwarf, making the males carry dwarf which is not ideal. Obviously you...

So, I’ve seen pictures of Smokey colored chickens and understand they breed dominant to dominant white, but how do you get this gene? Is it from breeding dominant white to some other color? What is the gene caused by? Really like Smokey colored birds, as they resemble a blue, but are...

Hello, I have a question about the genetics of feather growth genes. I know that when you breed a Rapid feather growth breed male (like a Leghorn) to a slow feather growth female (Like a Rhode Island Red), the F1 offspring is wing feather sex-able, but what do the future generations produce? If...

Hi, I have a buff laced Wyandotte (born in June of 2021) they I can’t tell the gender of... pullet or cockerel? (Excuse the birds in the back)

Does anyone know if the Exhibition line silver laced Wyandotte’s from cackle hatchery are any good? I saw they said they have foley in their line. Thanks!

So, I know there are lines of Celadon (blue egg laying Coturnix quail) that 99% of the hens lay blue eggs and lines that only lay about 30% do, if I breed the line that lays 99% to a line that 30% lay blue eggs, what percentage of the offspring would lay blue eggs? Also, if you breed the 99%...

Does anyone know how the class C gene works in seramas? How do you breed for it? If you breed a class C to a class A, what offspring do you get? Thank you!

I have extra meat bird (22% Protein) feed and I’m wondering if you can feed it to egg layer breed chicks. Thank you!

Does anyone know what color pattern to select for in magpie ducks? I’ve heard that magpies color tend to increase on ducks and decrease in drakes from one generation to the next, and some will come out pure white. How do you select birds to throw a good number of show quality marked magpies...
