I was just reading over the history of the lavender Ameraucana on the Am. forum and found out that John Blehm used his bantam lav Ameraucana, which he created using lavender D'Anvers, to make LF Ameraucana. So, apparently, the fray gene is alive and well in D'Anvers since it's VERY apparent in...

Basically you have hatch and grow out hundreds on birds to find males that were free of it, then test breed to females and tag and grow out their offspring to see if the female was a carrier. (Wing patch is carried by females, but doesn't express. Fray is less visible in females.) You just...

I tried to find some LF self blue games to see if they suffered from the issue as well. Couldn't find any. Do you have a line on some? Games would be much more compatible with Leghorns than Orps, type-wise!

I looked up their FB page since @MIAMI LEGHORN was just asking about red mottled leghorns. (Those look great!) Unfortunately, there IS evidence of fray in their lavender birds. It's suppressed probably because they've been backcrossing to lots of undiluted birds to get these varieties going, but...

I actually contacted Bud through Facebook, I'm not sure if he's here or not. I've since tried to move away from FB but we stay in touch on messenger. He ships from Ohio and we did pretty well, I had one bad shipment because they had the bad luck to be hatched during our only real cold snap of...

Alright, I came up with a solution to show the differences! I nabbed a few photos off Cackle's site that I feel best represent the bird I have and I have two shots of a young standardbred pullet, plus a video of the girls more recently. First up, hatchery/Danish browns. For comparison, a...

This is the second time I've been asked this in a month, lol. I need to quit talking about this until I can illustrate it, i guess! I am just about done with my breeding coops for the leghorns and I'll be separating the birds this week, so I'll be sure to get comparison shots at that time.

Dan Honour who I respect highly as a Leghorn guy told me the "Danish" browns are more or less the hatchery type in America. They're lighter birds, smaller, more narrow, you'll notice a lot of shafting in the hackle, etc. It's the same general color and pattern as standardbred light browns, but...
