Silkied Ameraucana Project

[LBKS]

Getting ready to set my first eggs tonight. Setting 8 silkied or split eggs. My birds came from Cat Kai.

Rooting for you, hope it goes fantastically!

Not sure yet what I will sell mine for. But it will be awhile before I sell any as I plan to hatch for myself first. Maybe in a few months.

I've updated an ad. Mine are just beginning to lay for the season. I'll only expecting to be offering split to split or silkied to outcross hard feather breedings this year on Choc/Mauve silkied project. But with a dozen+ pullets and hens I'll have plenty of eggs. Will also be offering BBS day old straight run chicks.

I want some of these!! What would happen color wise if i hatched out eggs from a black silkied ameraucana under a brown red smooth ameraucana? Are there brown red silkied AM's?

 

[EdenCamp]

Nope, no brown reds silkied. But I do have a friend interested in brown reds. PM and lets chat....

i pm'd you the reason i asked is because the only ameraucana rooster i have might be a brown red, he may have wheaten in his ancestry. My great grandpa (where i got him from) has a brown red that produced a wheaten roo, the wheaten roo bred to a few hens which were too dark and they produce 1 wheaten roo 1 brown red roo and 1 miscolored hen (that are still alive) i dont know how closely my roo may or may not be related to them though

I'm curious about the personality. Is it more silkie or ameraucana?

There is no silkie in these Ameraucana. Silkied refers to a spontaneous feather mutation in pure bred AMs.
