ilovechickens Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 My gold silkie is sitting on a couple of eggs-our cockerel is a lovely lavender araucana-anyone got any thoughts on what the chicks might come out like. Got a day or so to go and I'm getting a little excited!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gloss-Hen Posted January 15, 2012 Share Posted January 15, 2012 maybe a gold araucana with a fluffy head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilovechickens Posted January 15, 2012 Author Share Posted January 15, 2012 Well they are here! how excited am I!! I let my Silkie sit on two eggs (and a couple of rubber ones!) and both have hatched-little fluffy balls-black with little splashes of yellow!

Goosey Lucy Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 You have to have made a number of posts before you can upload photos, I can't remember off hand how many though, sorry. All you need to do is post on a few other topics and I'm sure you'll be there soon Looking forward to cute chicky pics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redwing Posted January 24, 2012 Share Posted January 24, 2012 A cross between a lavender bird and any other colour (apart from lavender) tends to result in a bird that is all black They will probably look a bit like Aint "Ooops, word censored!"ody Here's new black Araucana hybrid - there are some pics in the Chicken section I believe that the cockerel has more effect on egg colour so hopefully you'll get some blue/green egg layers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
