mix breeding

Im not sure if this the correct place to post this but.. I thought you guys might find this interesting because from what I have seen it isn't a popular cross. I have hatched two chickens from an Amberlink rooster and a Easter Egger hen. They are about 8 weeks old as of posting this. The first...

Are there any breeds to NOT mix together into the flock. We are just starting out and will pick chicks soon. We think we want a variety of hens, but are some potentially more aggressive towards others?

If you know me, you know I'm not a fan of mixes. But there are some exceptions. Right now, the only two breeds I'm interested in breeding are the aseel, and a Greek landrace breed (and possibly yokohama but that's another thing). That being said, I'd like to start a project (so this would be the...

Didn’t know where to put this, so I’m just guessing on this side of BYC, but I have a Lavender Orpington hen, and a Easter Egger roo that looks like a Wheaten Ameraucana, with like, a lavender laced chest and stuff, I’d send a pic if I could only get one 🤣. And obviously they mated, and she’s...

I just want to show off these WyBra's that I "made". I crossed laced wyandotte males with partridge brahma females this year, and thought the resulting pattern was quite lovely, and genetically interesting. It's the best of both patterns, with the partridge back and laced front. I only got...

I love barnyard mixes! They are so unpredictable and unique! Some people think they are a pain when they are trying to breed purebreds, which can be true, but I love them all the same. So please join and chat with me about your mixes! This is your chance to brag! All mixed-breeds welcome...

I'm definitely keeping Firefly and Galinda, but am trying to decide which of the blue chicks to keep. I'm hoping for something built similarly to their father. (Not positive it's him, but suspect it is based on their dark skin (only a couple of my hens have this)... I know that's not a lot to...

This question might already be answered elsewhere, but I'm thinking of trying to incubate some of our eggs to see what kind of chickens we get. I have a Barred Rock Roo who gets around with his ladies, we have many different breeds of hens including buff orpington, rhode island red, cuckoo...

Hey All! We have been proud chicken owners for a couple years but a few weeks ago decided to incubate and hatch eggs from our coop for the first time! We have one Rooster, an Ayam Cemani. We started with 6 eggs, so far 3 have hatched and 2 are Piping (at day 22). I would love any insight...

Hi everyone! We have had chickens for over a year now and I just wanted to share our little rooster we hatched with anyone who would like to see what a hybrid blue cochin/ameraucana looks like. Enjoy!

I'm incubating some eggs. My main Rooster is an Easter Egger and I have some EE hens, and a road island red hen and a Dominique hen, and I wanted to know what the mixes will look like as adults and if they will lay green eggs.

I own 2polish 2 silkies( I need to get more soon) and a silkie rooster what would be a good medium to large size egg laying hen to mix in with my silkie I am currently interested in breeding my polish to my silkie and my silkies to my silkie and I want to breed frizzles to my silkies as well:)

So I've been hatching babies left and right and last night was the first successful hatch from one of my mix breed chicken eggs. The mother is one of my white leghorn girls and the father is one of my barred rock boys. 5 eggs went into the incubator clearly marked with who the parents were and...

Ok, so new Breeder and I may not have a lot of experience incubating and hatching baby chicks, but as far I've had incubated last year 2017 started somewhere in October and hatched 17 healthy chickens. I've purchased a lot of chickens for the past 2 years and I decided that I didn't want to...

Hello there! I was gifted a chicken from a friend that is a Red Wyandotte Splash Hen bred with a Black Ameracauna roo. I'm curious if the is a pullet or cockerel. Was told currently around 18-21 weeks of age.

Hi I'm new to chickens been studying this web site a lot ! Lol have built a coop in a horse stall and I ended up with 6 teenager hens... Was SUSPOSED to be all bantum s but 2 are amaraconas . Some friends broke up... I got there chickens ! Ha ha so... I've had several laying for about a month...

I'm planning on cross breeding quails to see results! Does any know of crosses and have pictures for those crosses? I keep quails as my hobby and love the way they look. I want some new looks around here. Any suggestions? The crosses I'm talking about are All Forums of Bobwhites - California...
