Such an awesome project & it looks like you’ve had good results so far. Following in case you decide to pick up again 🙂

With WTB you may have unknown recessive genes show up in offspring, they’re basically a guaranteed blue laying EE, so you will most likely get a variety of colors no matter which rooster you keep. I do agree with post about getting an actual Ameraucana rooster if you want to maintain muffs &...

unfortunately this was the last photo I got of him. We had a coon get into our coop last summer & got him 😭

No they’re just Salmon Faverolles I’m just getting ahead of myself with breeding plans 😂

Awesome thank you so much for your help. The Faverolles eggs are currently in the incubator I’m 🤞 & planning on next year’s breeding projects 😂 & I’m really trying to get a grasp on genetics before I start actually trying to breed. She went broody & hatched out the first few, I hatched a couple...

Thank you! 😁 now I have another question about the Faverolles 😅 I know they are wheaten (can’t find the genetic codes at the moment) but I’ve read about some occasionally throwing a white, is it possible that some of the salmons might carry the recessive white gene as well? 🤞

Thank you so much! Here are a few of the chicks from her & the rooster. Most have a crest & feathered legs but only one has had muffs, crest & feathered legs, the leg feathers on most of the chicks have been like Silkie feathers but the rest of their feathers are smooth. Looking back now it...

Would I do better to find a white Ameraucana rooster to mate with Salmon Faverolles hens to retain the white?

I am really trying to grasp genetics but it’s taking me a minute. If I cross a Salmon Faverolles rooster with a white Ameraucana hen will I get all Salmon colored Favaucanas? I want to try & retain the white, I’ve searched for White Faverolles but it looks like they either no longer exist in...

I know this post is a little older but how did he turn out? I’m trying to find a white faverolles roo to breed to my white Ameraucana

I’m still waiting for my Easter hatches to lay now y’all got me thinking ahead to my June babies too 😂 imma be a crazy mess stalking all of them waiting for eggs 😂 I think my Easter weekend hatched leghorn is getting close though. I’ve seen her, a Whiting True Green hatched on Easter & my April...

My birds free-range most of the day but they do get kitchen scrap & garden treats, scratch during the winter, yogurt about once a month & mealworms on occasion (mostly during the winter or molting) For meatbirds they get more yogurt & corn treats when it gets closer to processing time

Definitely good points I didn’t think about. My flock has access to an acre of natural wooded area & we planted things they can eat rather than the normal lawn grasses. They also get into the garden & get kitchen scraps on occasion. Since this is my norm I forget that others may not have the...

I agree with the others that mentioned looking into their commercial feed. Foraging/free-ranging is completely natural & unless they’re foraging in a contaminated area it should not be causing problems. Have you tried fermenting their feed? It helps to boost their gut health. I feed mine...

I wouldn’t be complaining if it did lol I should probably study up more on sexlinks as that’s probably what the majority are

I should have quail hatching Monday too I love our cochins & light Brahma I think our blue Cochin is our prettiest chicken & she’s still in the teen phase 😂 she was an Easter hatch

@Rhodebar Lover here are a couple more photos. I’ve never seen one like this

So I ordered some bargain roosters from Valley Farms Hatchery… anyone have any ideas what this little guy might be? I’ve never seen a chick with a red face thanks in advance for any help

Yes they had a few Easter Eggers mama is now happy with 4 chicks & i have 70 Coturnix eggs going into lockdown tomorrow

I gave in & let mine keep 2. Today is day 21. I found 1 chick dis (well have the shell but completely intact membrane) yesterday. I told hubs if this other one doesn’t hatch we need to grab her a few day olds from tsc
