lol we are excited for this Onyx Fire bird, Im thinkin these are gonna get really popular, or im hopeful anyways ;) thanks for watching bro have a great weekend.
@@MBHeritageFarms Nice chicken! I'd like to cross Delaware rooster to a Jersey Giant hen. Be great to get meaty "Jersey Giants" in 6 months or less(and slightly better laying). What do you think?
Im trying to breed a large type chicken with dark lavender feathers that lay purple eggs (dark brown eggs with a heavy bloom on them to make them appear purple). I'd be using lavender Orpingtons and sussexes barnevelders malays and marans. Im willing to dedicate decades to this. Also, I did accidentally breed a large brahma cross rooster with a bantam cross hen. Their baby was black, which did not look like either parent. It was hilarious. My favourite current breed is wyandotte, i dont think you can improve on that breed as a whole.
@@MBHeritageFarms I usually only keep Rhode Island Reds because I am in the Nevada desert and they tolerate the harsh conditions here better than most breeds.
We are basically doing the same thing. Breeding a game rooster (1/2 Albany, 1/4 asil, 1/4 red quill) to standard production red hens. with the color combos that is being carried within the roosters blood line. We are getting several different color hens. Then with the laying traits of the mother hens we hope to get the best of both worlds with maybe slightly less egg production but with the added survivability and hardiness of the game fowl. Interested in watching your project progress. Thanks for sharing !!
Those are cool hens awsome my friends we have chickens to but different breed then those but thank yu for the video much love always my friends and God bless you guys stay safe 🐸🙏❤
Very nicely done thank you so much for sharing this I will share it with the family they're doing chickens and they got pure breeds and they want to do the same thing. Thank you so much very very beautiful breed
Me and my family are hoping once Shotgun (The Ameraucana rooster) becomes mature enough and see his personality (Were hoping that he's mostly quiet because the breed that he is mostly quiet though can be loud, because well they can) we also have delaware hens (We have other Ameraucana hens) that still need to mature as well. Were hoping to make a Spring Speckles (Or SS) though we need to see on what the breeders have as in color patterns, weight, etc. I'm going to be letting you guys know real quick on what were hoping to get from this new breed were hoping to make: The Spring Speckles would be a chill yet alert chicken, dual purposed, and hardy breeds, were also hoping that they lay loads of eggs though we don't know what colors they would lay, and what colors they would be. That's my family's hope. Thank you for sharing this video, it was really helpful! Thank you again, I'll be watching the playlist!
We have switched over Bresse Chickens for dual purpose, its a hearitage breed meatbird, I highly suggest checking them out, they lay 250 or more eggs per year also. Thank you and sorry for the late response
well im trying to breed my too already bred chicks black silkie rooster and white leghorn mixed chicks they are both small one is rooster other is hen she lays every day and lays small eggs hens is black and white no feet feathers rooster all white feet feathers hen has black skin rooster has white skin with blue spots but hen is super calm
Well good luck we wish you the very best of luck!! Sometimes it's trial and error, and also just really getting a feel for what chicken has the most qualities that you like and want to pass on
Well I love the colors too. It's definitely something else we look for when breeding. The colors, egg production, and temperament. Thanks yall for watching!
Yeah it's kinda mind-blowing, chickens are the closest relatives to Dinosaurs and still can't find one to settle down with, they just breed to be breeding LOL Have a good day bro!!
They are beautiful, looking forward to seeing these progress. Great job, and great info! Have you ever had it turn out completely opposite of what you were thinking?
Yes way back in the day before I learned the 10 day flush before hatch ;) but as long as you stick with pure breeds and know the genetic make up like bl, Bl, MO2 you can get pretty close to plan but there will ALWAYS be those odd ball weirdos in every hatch lol. thank you guys so much
What is the important on crossing chickens with the same comb? I have 6 chicks that are Blue Maran x Easter Egger cross, they are only 8 weeks old. 4 of them are jet black and 2 are grey (blue) and all have slight variation of copper feathers around the neck. Also all but 1 have feathered feet. I can't tell the combs yet.
Can you elaborate on the comb aspect. I want to breed specific for comb. I want a certain breed to be better for cold but I need a pea or rose comb. I’ll have to research which comb is recessive vs dominant. Do males or females determine traits?
Yes they both add 50%, Pick the type of comb you want to improve on but dont mix comb types during breeding. Use my spiral breeding technique to improve on these traits th-cam.com/video/og1Lx3iRxWM/w-d-xo.html Thanks and have a great week
What two chickens would you need to breed together to get a feathered footed chicken with the barred patterns like a barred Rock would barred Rock and Millie Flores work I have one baby chick that I bought from someone it was just a random mix breed I love how it looks like a barred Rock but it has those really long feathers on its feet I would love to make my own breed just like this I have several barred rocks that I can use for this experiment however I know that not all colors breed true like you talked about in videos someone know the best way to go about doing this
You definitely have a unique breed in mind, and the choices are excellent ones, but there is no specific way to start, pick the best specimen of both breeds and make sure at least one holds 50% of each trait you are trying to pass down better if each hold 50%. Selective breed after that to eliminate color and genetic leakage of the next few years and see where you are at.
@@MBHeritageFarms would a Millie Fuller work for this experiment or would that take away from the barred Rock colors and make a splash or lavender or something
@@wethepeople6906 of course youre going to get some off colors, YES Millies will give you 50% feather footed and bearded, this has been done before and you can see the result chicks on ggle
I haven’t finished watching your video but I have some kind of Mille fleur duccle rooster cross and 2 game fowl. Right now they’re all about the same size. Do you think it will work or no? I’ll come back and edit my comment after finishing the video. EDIT: I subbed and am gonna watch the other videos. Want to note I’m not breeding them for any specific reason. It’s just the ones I happen to have right now. Coyotes wiped us out last year and I got rando chickens from Craigslist and for free. TIA
Sorry to so long to reply, this comment was in review section lol probably because it contains the words C list , So just remember always try to start with different breeds but full bloods. that makes a hybrid, but its not impossible if you use hybrids or crosses, it just takes longer to get genetics to settle, but hey thats how cornish crosses are made ;) thank you so much for the sub have a great weekend!
Hey there buddy I have tall height rooster he is a hybrid and if I breed it with a short height hen she is country chicken and rose combed, What height will the chicks get and what will be the comb?
The best thing to do when breeding is start with two pure breeds. Otherwise you have different genetics and DNA traits from different breeds that could pop through and it could be a vast amount of different chicks thrown with different characteristics of different breeds.
I have not, but if you would like to see what the chicks would look like before you try it, you can play around with this and find out kippenjungle.nl/chickencalculator.html THank you for watching and commenting. Sorry it took so long for thr response.
I just got buff orpington x blue and black marans chicks. I'm curious what they will look like when mature. They are currently grey and black but I wouldn't be surprised if the colors change drastically as they age. There doesn't seem to be much info on buff x blue and black so I would appreciate input from someone familiar with these color combos. I'm hoping for a splash mara-lorp!
I want to create a large breed of chicken that has a good fat to meat ratio lays eggs just about all year around has great maternal instincts much like a bantam
Wow youre looking for the perfect bird. You cant be number one in all catagories, However MINUS THE DARK EGGs, The American Bresse is the breed thats the closest to perfection.
@@MBHeritageFarms I'm sure it's possible to breed something like that though there's plenty of large birds that are amazing egg layers not many that are great mother's though that's always been my biggest problem buying birds is finding good mother's I noticed bantams and game hens are some of the best mother's you hardly ever not see them broody or taking care of chicks cinnamon queens are my favorite for meat and egg production
We have one Rir x welsumer :) in the brooder Only one tho now i know theres a problem with my incubator and im new too Our welsumer rooster could handle our rir :)
Find a good mom in your flock and don't worry about the incubator for now, that's what we do when we are in between broken incubators. thank you guys again! Chip Chip ;)
@@MBHeritageFarms thats plan b lol shes a week behind I waited until i found silkie roosters for sale really cheap I got all ten of them for a deal We took a few days to sort out one to keep We put him with our silkie hen shes had two batches of eggs sitting on them before but they got stolen by predators both times So shes sitting again in a secured spot :) They both have their qualities :) But i still have one chick lol and thoes other chicks are at least a week behind So i go back through the adds day old silkie polish crosses I love crosses Pure breeds are cool too and i think its important to keep that going But its never been a priority for me Im enjoying learning more about breeding its important even barn yard crosses Some pure breeds have almost got wiped out too its important to keep it going Much love xoxox chip chip
Hi there I have a question I been looking throw your playlist but I haven't found a video. That answer my question but I wanted to ask what are some trouble I would run into when breeding a purebred rooster & a mix bred hen? Would it be harder to get my own breed of chicken breed? Thanks you love your videos!
Not sure why we havent seen this yet, But most of the time that's how you get started, Its fine to pick at least one mixed breed but it will take s lil longer to get regular consistencies. experiment and have fun. Sorry it took so long
@@MBHeritageFarms OH! No your fine guys dont be I understand yall might be busy at time & not might get to everyone's question but thank you so much! I will do that guys 😊 again thank you for getting back to me can wait to see more video of y'alls new chicken breeds!
As for the combos I have buckeyes that have a pea combo I plane on crossing them with australorps and blues jersey Giants because my ten-year-old son once to have blue buckeyes I know you can do Rhode Island reds with either one of them and get Rhode Island blues so I figure you should be able to do that with because what is the come really make that big of a difference
The combs really dont make a difference if you dont have a favorite type. Most folks like the V or smaller combs. They manage to get less damage throughout life. Thanks for the watch and comment
Did you breed them again to see if they were the same? I didn't see it in the description.
I know more about chickens now than I ever have. I never thought much past what sauce to dip them in. Good video
I got some good sauce recipes lol Thank you guys :)
@@MBHeritageFarms well now we talking
Mornin I got this new breed......barnyard :)
lol we are excited for this Onyx Fire bird, Im thinkin these are gonna get really popular, or im hopeful anyways ;) thanks for watching bro have a great weekend.
The onyx fire chicken is quite beautiful. I just love learning from you guys!!! Olaf is so cool looking. Hope you guys are having a good week. 💖
We are doing well!! Hope you and the family are well!! We need to get together soon! ❤❤

That sounds like a dream chicken to me! 💜 One of my marans hens lays a gorgeous “purple” egg, very heavy speckled bloom.
Those onyx fire chickens are crazy looking, I gotta get over there and see those
Hurry up!!!!!
I never thought of breeding my chickens. Interesting. Thanks for the information!
Thank you Cindy, If you have chickens you don't need an incubator ;) try it sometime.
