I am getting my first rooster tomorrow. He is a Black Laced Silver English Orpington. He will be covering all the following hens. 3 X Black Laced Silver Orpingtons, 2 X Splash English Orpingtons, 1 Blue (with black lacing, more on this later) English Orpington and 1 Golden Comet. The Blue and...
hey guys! so i’m just looking for some input, outside of my own brainstorming. feel free to pm me if you don’t want to give away your secrets publicly. 😉
i’m preparing to start a project, creating my own breeds of colored eggers. shooting for all green shades, may mess around with blue but only...
Hello, people of the chicken world!
Can anyone think of a breed that has
Feathered Feet ( I don't mind if not, but it would be preferable)
Blue/Dark Brown Layer
Medium to big
Laced
Single/ Pea Comb
If a breed has two or more of these please reply (with the number (and an image? - if you...
Hello all :)
A neighbor gave me a batch of jersey giant hatching eggs, and I ended up with one pullet (predators took the rest, long story short), and she has very interesting coloring. My neighbor told me that laced or splash was possible, but lace is super rare. I've tried googling 'laced...
I'm new but trying to learn about the genotypes of my chickens! I have these 3 I'm particularly curious about. If anyone has any ideas about the genotypes (related especially to their coloring) I'd really appreciate it!!
This first two were sold to me as Ameraucanas:
#1 I am guessing is...
WANTED: Exhibition-quality Sebright bantam eggs/chicks. Silver, buff, and golden. For the goldens, I prefer lighter shaded lines. Located in Rock Spring, GA right outside Chattanooga, TN, willing to drive if needed but also fine with paying for shipping. Please PM me and include pics of parents...
I got this 'Blue laced red Wyandotte' chick from the store. Lady had Black laced and apparently this one was the last "blue". As she is feathering out, I cant help but see black. Is this blue or black?
The down seems blue, and it almost looks like it is blue, but its so dark it really seems...
Hey Guys,
Long time follower but first time poster...because i need help.
I have 5 beautiful chickens who have just started laying (australorp x 1, australorp x silkie x 2, white sussex x 2).
Yesterday my partner and I picked up a 16 week old Barred Rock and a 12 week old Gold Laced...
So, admittedly I didn't check out the breeder that well as far as breeding lines, etc. but that doesn't matter too much anyway. I wanted decent layers and breeds that are at least usually not aggressive. I *thought* I was getting barred rocks, easter eggers, one buff orp and one SLW.
I know...
I have 2 gold lace Sebright hens and a Silver lace rooster. I'm wondering what potential colors the offspring could be if I hatched. Does anyone have pictures of offspring from this cross?
Must rehome my tame pet chickens for health reasons. They need loving homes. They free range well, eat variety of feeds & leftovers & love hand fed treats, mellow, friendly, smart, sweet & used to nice dogs & cats.
4 lrg English Orpington hens 1 yr old
1 Cream Legbar rooster 1 yr old
1 Barred...
Beautiful Black and Silver Cemani crosses. Dark faces and some have intricate silver lacing.
By the pair or lot. No hens separately.
I have about 50 of them and need to move them. Make me a deal.
2-5 months old, come from great layers (obviously! lol) They are great free rangers.
Located in Lady...
I am soon going to have gold laced sebrights and gold spangled bantam appenzeller spitzhauben. While i want to breed the sebrights towards the sop, i also want to try my own project. That would be creating a small, gold laced and crested (hopefully crest will remain of the spitzhauben type). I...
So...I'm pathologically curious. What would a chicken with the mottled, pattern, AND barred genes look like? Anyone have Pictures? Google has failed me. I may do a side breeding project just to satisfy my curiosity...
hi all!
I was hoping people had growth/feather development pics from their chicks. I’m curious about how mine will develop and when I can expect to see the pattern start emerging and be fully developed.
Thanks!
Good morning sunshines! I'm about to put a clutch of eggs under my broody BLW. Our roo is a blue laced and the eggs will be from another BLW hen and 2 blue splash hens (not splash laced). I know the mix we can expect from the blw×blw (50% blue laced, 25% black laced and 25% splash laced) and I...
We came out to find one of our hens limping yesterday morning. I flipped her on her back to try and see if I could find any noticeable problems. There is no swelling no discernible difference between the other leg and nothing on the bottom of her foot. The ankle does seem to have an inward...
Hello everybody, I am currently undergoing a project for Double Laced Orpingtons. Many people think double laced orpingtons are Partridge Orpingtons. Partridge is actually multiple laced.
I wanted to know everybody's thoughts on this and to share some of your knowledge. I just started this...
