It was I who said fade breeders and I do wanna clarify: Often times people jump on a bandwagon to try to breed these new or unusual variations without understanding the process needed to raise them, thinking rare type=quick cash. I don't ever mean to refer to people like you and other breeders...

I sorta viewed that as a different side project because the mutation wasn't just NN meddling 🤣

I don't remember that one. I do remember Miracle the Guinea Hybrid though, honestly surprised there never was a vet school study :idunno I had one, until NPIP test and she tested positive for something so we culled her. They are 100% that pet you keep because of how hideously adorable they...

I am not a polish fan in general 🤣 I typically lived more on the game threads. Show girl thread was a hoot though.

Mhm. Oh candy Corn Polish! Sooo many posts about them. Ohiko too had a pretty decent following for a while..

Remember the Serama cult? (I love seramas but back in the day ooof soo many) Or the mix reception Green Fire Farm got when they came to the scene?

I know I am with how long I have had this account. Took a hiatus and came back to a radically different byc :oops: 😅

Some were aiming for like fibro, NN, long tails :caf I also feel like a old person going "back in my day" :old

Yeah I distinctly remember like this phase of Naked Necking basically every breed known to mankind.

Yeah, I don't ever remember any major threads about them. At least those about silkie gene mutation not y'know breeding a orph to silkie and going from there.

I missed this part and that is one variation I didn't know exist. Reaction is relatable 🤣

There also genetic testing to see if your bird is a carrier of the blue egg gene. I only know this because I was curious of the price of genetic sex testing for silkies and same place tests for blue genes. The tough part about that would be keeping the silkie gene while breeding out the...

Yeah, they were most likely crossed out and then rebred to silkies only hatching the eggs that were blue. It does then make you wonder what make the gene mutation in Ameraucanas different from Cochins.

Nvm google proves me a idiot found listing of Silkie chickens bred to lay blue, green and olive eggs. I be dumb.

I wonder if it has something to do with the blue egg gene? If my memory serves me right I haven't seen any projects of silkie blue egg layers in general. I could be wrong having been out of the loop here for a good few years :idunno

I'm popping in my two cents on the factors why Silkie Ameraucanas struggled was a percentage of people who got them were fad breeders not realizing the long term commitment to cultivate a strain like this with extremely limited genes. They also hit peak novelty right when alot of new import...
