Hi there,, I don't have a chance to get on here often, too busy but thought I'd get back to you. You mentioned you were looking for a rooster. Would that be an EE roo? I have a few but a lot of my boys present with the rumpless type gene (meaning little or no tail feathers) which apparently...

thank you very much for the links. I have started to go through them, very informative! Yes I do like my "mutts". And they are keeping me sane during this crazy time too! I will keep a few smooth faced hens now, thank you. but should I ever breed a smooth faced roo to the hens? will that...

Thank you. It will be fun to see what I get then with the next few generations.

Hi there, Interesting yes. Is it truly the rump less gene though and would that gene be connected to the skeleton? Or, is this something affecting just the length of the tail feathers? It is popping up pretty consistent this year so it has "settled in" to the genetics. Where some of the...

Thank You. I think they are cute too! My birds are an assortment but they do all lay various shades of blue or mint green egg. So in that sense they could go back to the Araucana and this is why I am seeking other opinions. The pics do not show them real well. Seeing them live reveals...

Hi all. I am an older backyard flock breeder of many years with little knowledge of proper genetic breeding to any standard other than my own, so I will appreciate any response, especially from geneticists, breeders or even if you just think they are cute! I have bred generations of my private...

Hi there, found your post. I am in eastern Wa state and breed a private flock of EE's for my own fun and pleasure. Where are you located?

WELL!!! LOL!! WHAT THE HECK ARE YA WAITING FOR! People out in chicken land would love to see them! Me included but, it takes awhile to accomplish and... I'M NOT GETTING ANY YOUNGER! Sooo, I would appreciate some expediency here! ROFL!! (Why in the heck-ll can't I get the little...

Hey there Andre, I was looking around the internet and Briarwood Farm in Canada has some blue laced red Wyandottes...

ROFL!!! Andreooo... Cue Star Trek theme music.. To go where no man has gone before... I really like the originality!! Your crossbreed bird would be more than exotic to me, it would be like taking a walk back in time to the dinosaurs, I think. You would really like this book...

Hi GaryDean, Well, Unlike you, I don't know what I am doing with all of the particulars with chicken breeding but, I have been having fun for the last three years doing it! LOL! I do all my hatching with my hens. Increases the challenge of choosing well and doing a good job. Also, I Love...

WOW!! Did they cross nice!! She is definitely not a result that I would expect! You did very, very well to get to that point. All blue type bird which would lay blue eggs too, VERY NICE. There are times when we need to contribute our best efforts to others and other breeds. And there are...

GaryDean26, She is pretty. Why did you stop? You say you are still a long ways out but look at what you have already accomplished! Granted she may be a "rough draft" however, she has an awful lot of what you listed. the black beak, almost smooth face, crest, wonderful blue color...

Sorry I couldn't get back to this thread sooner, life has a way of getting - in the way a lot. :) GaryDean26, OK! Now I have an idea of it. LOL! But after reading your description all I kind of see in my head is a picture which sort of looks like a Griffin! LOL! Take no offense please. I...
