    I just heard about something called double mating. It troubled me. What do you all think?

    That's my plan. I'm going to take my best Appenzeller Spitzhaubens to a local show. To see them is to want them. I was fortunate to get my initial stock from a good breeder. All I have to do is cull the occassional flaw that pops up using the UK SOP as my guide. This spring, I've ordered some...

    The real deal is. EE masquerading as Ameraucana are a dime a dozen.

    I'm not interested in Mediterranean birds because I don't live in a mediterranean climate. Floridians, Texans, and Californians can have them. Light continental birds like mine are another story. You make it sound like crested breeds are new comers. Spangled Spitzhaubens date back to the 15th...

    It's still pretty cold here (by our standards), and summer heat is rarely an issue in Seattle. I usually start incubating in March. I have four Spitzhauben cockerels I'll be choosing from between now and then. I've heard that one shouldn't hatch eggs from pullets and cockerels, only hens and...

    In that case, I would want to keep the Russian Pavlovski or Pavlovskaya (depending on whether you want to use a masculaine or feminine form of the word. I've seen both). It is thought to be the ancestor of the European crested breeds like la Fleche, Spitzhaubens, Brabanters, Polands, Sulltans...

    I've talked someone with more room into taking over the cream/citron Spitzhauben project. I'm giving her what birds I have so far. I could still work on a Silver Brabanter program. I prefer Brabanters, and silver is a dominant gene. I don't have to grow out birds HOPING they'll have a...

    I think I'd rather work on silver Brabanters. At least silver is a dominant gene rather than a recessive gene like the cream.

    I was thinking during the night, and consulting the chicken calculator. I don't have the room to hatch the number of chicks I'd need to to develop the citron color. I'm just going on with the silver. Thank you for helping me clarify my thoughts.
