She just quite today! Long story short, one egg is in the incubator hopefully about to hatch.

I let her have one egg

Why the "wows"?

No progress yet, way to many birds. I'll probably incubate next spring. The little hens are very good at sneaking off and hatching chicks though, so maybe over the summer. I'll make sure to post pictures!

How many generations until they breed true?

Another thing I really like about them is that they are plump little things. Still a bantam, but they feel like they have quite a bit of meat. I do think they would be best crossed with a Pyncheon, but I think that will decrease size which I don't really like. I would very much like to add in...

Here are two I didn't get a picture of yesterday

Why did I do this! Now I really really want to hatch chicks! But I have way way way too many birds!

All you smart genetic people, what would the easiest color to get my mutts to breed true as be?

Where did you come up with that name? Since I can't have Clay Ranger, how does everyone like "Sampetran" or "Sampetra"? Or maybe a family name.

Also, they would need a name...

Soil here is dust, pine-needles, and stones, and the foliage is a dry pine wood. Gold Spangled does perfectly, (of course that's during the five months of the year there isn't snow) but I don't really want a color that complicated.

I need to decide on a color. I want something that will "blend in" while they forage (which they will hopefully be great at), and something that will be easy to breed for/ add in. Suggestions?

They are just over a year old. Wattles are still very little. I don't think they are the best quality Thats great! Perfect for me. How would I "stabilize" the "incomplete Quail? What would the easiest color to get them to breed true as be? That is a very confusing sentence, sorry.

@NatJ you're amazing with genetics, what would the above hens crossed with a mille fleur Pyncheon roo look like?

Sorry the coop is so dirty

I don't want the muffs, but I also don't want wattles. The Spitzhauben hens have small/no wattles. Should I use Spitz?

I was just out looking at combs, and they're not pea combs. They are like a really small single comb with no points scrunched up into a kind of long "S". I don't necessarily need a pea comb; I just need a really small frost-bite-proof comb. They're very interesting little birds. Besides the...

Thank you!!!

Probably no smaller than a big bantam and no bigger than a medium sized breed. A very specific weight.
