Green Egger Naked Neck Thread

[draye]

Mottled ee to buff rock, that is an interesting cross.


I got a little excited today, a pullet laid a green egg.  It seemed cockerel after cockerel kept as potential colored eggers proved not to be carriers as their daughters started to lay tans and browns...   but finally a daughter of another cockerel laid her very first egg today, and it's green. It was not really an important thing to me but still, it was a nice little bit of relief to know it was not totally lost in a line.

I thought it was interesting also.
I need to see if he'll post pictures of the mottled gals.
There is a *guy* I think here in Arkansas that posts on the Arkansas thread with them. Ridgerunner in BYC.

Well I'll join in. I just hatched some EEs, Ameraucana over NN. They'll all be green egg layers. I'm hoping that I have a nn cockerel that I can breed back to NNs to get a few homozygous offspring (all my girls, from Ideal, are hetero). NNs are my best layers and I'd love to have more of them! I'll post pics tomorrow...

Finally got a shot of my one and only green egg layer NN. I loved her to a run and out her with her new BF.
if she starts back to laying before the Easter Hatch a Ling I'll incubate their eggs.

Beautiful! I'd like to see chicks out of this pair.

Beautiful!   I'd like to see chicks out of this pair.

I hoping she'll get back to laying pretty soon so that I can set some eggs for this Easter Hatch-A-Long.

What would you call his coloring? I say a Lemon Blue Birchen.

I'm not sure.. what was his chick down pattern?

Birchen is a good guess however it appears he is showing duckwing pattern.. birchens are crowwinged. I'm wondering if he might be a partridge.

Their chicks will give some more hints of what they are.

Basically like it is now. You could always see the blue cream coloring, at about a week you could see the patterning start to show. I wouldn't say he was chipmunked.

He does however have Duckwing in his background from the EE.

I always forget about crowwing, I heard the phrase but don't know I've ever seen it or even recognize it.
