We haven't started on additional coops yet and I'm all out of space. Meyer goofed up an order and birds I was expecting late August are arriving tomorrow! Yikes lol
I have 2 SLW from Meyer and one BLRW from I don't know what source in my laying flock :)
YW. That's awesome! :) I can't wait until we get set up and I can get more of these and more colors. I love my Wyandottes but only have a few hens right now and haven't located anyone locally to buy from. They have the cutest temperament and I love their body type. I may get an incubator for...
If you breed blue to splash, you'll get 50% blue, 50% splash. What I've heard is like the previous poster said, to maintain the best color breed blue to blue, knowing the percentages will remain the same, offspring will be 50% blue, 25% black, 25% splash. That's what they mean by blue not...
it really would make sense if they all were since, if you breed blue to blue, that's what you get. But I know nothing about how the APA works, just a layperson here. But curious how it'll all turn out. :)

Thanks for the info! The lacing on this one is much nicer than my SLW, that's for sure. I'm completely enamored with the blue color now! Lol
My little chick is only 2 weeks old. I would've had 3, but someone bought the other two before I could get them so I have a Mottled Java for it as...
I'm just now getting familiar with the genetics, as I wanted to learn how all the colors work...but curious, what's up with the single comb? Do you know where that came from? I know nothing about the heritage of my BLRW, whether the guy who raised them bred a BlBlxblbl or two Blbl, giving me who...
Hi All!
I just wanted to share a pic of my new little chick and it's mottled Java companion. My SLW were hatchery stock and aren't feathering out all that nice, though they're sweet birds and I like them. This little fella is from a different source and since I LOVE the BLRW coloring I'm...
