    Delaware x Ameraucana = EE; Anybody doing this?

    Delaware x Ameraucana = EE; Anybody doing this?

    Thanks everybody. I'm looking more for the Easter Egger look of pea combs, slate legs and beards in funky colors. Doesn't need to be sex-linked because I'm going to be keeping all of them. I guess I was under the impression that a lot of the Am genes for appearance come through when it is...

    Delaware x Ameraucana = EE; Anybody doing this?

    So they will look like black sex links instead of Easter Eggers? Confused.

    Delaware x Ameraucana = EE; Anybody doing this?

    I was thinking of getting some Blue and Lav Ameraucanas from Paul Smith. Do you know what the sex linked colors would be? (I'm relatively new to this, don't know what the terminology is.) Although I do know what sex-linked means! :)

    Delaware x Ameraucana = EE; Anybody doing this?

    Thanks so much for your reply Ridgerunner. After I wrote the post I was wondering if I should have mentioned the EEs I was going to get because it made it more confusing. What I meant was that I'm going to get EE just to have for layers(to start), and not collect their eggs for hatching :) I...

    Delaware x Ameraucana = EE; Anybody doing this?

    My plan is to start with two Egg laying flocks: EEs & Delawares. I want to be able to hatch more layers instead of buying each time. I thought that if I bought some purebred Ameraucana roosters I could let them & Delaware roosters breed with the delaware hens, then collect only brown (delaware)...

    Hello from East Austin

    Thanks everybody! We had a hatch last weekend. My BLR wyandotte got broody so I put eggs from a friend who has a rooster under her and all 6 hatched!! They were RIR hens and a mix dad who is mostly white and blonde colored. All have small bodies... so we'll see. We might have to process some...

    4 from Ideal - Forgot who was who!!

    So I got 4 chicks from Callahans (they get them from Ideal Poultry) and of course forgot which was which. I got a barnevelder, silver gray dorking, cuckoo marans, and an australorp. I just had to get them because I've been wanting to try all these breeds. Can anyone help identify who is who...

    Blue Laced Red Wyandotte THREAD!

    Hello, I'm a little confused about the splash/blue thing. I thought she was just a light blue, but now i'm not sure. I know she's not SQ, just wanted to see if anyone had any info about BLR: I was told If you breed a dark with a light half will be dark blue and half will be light blue. Sorry...

    Pox on face? Scab? Pic included

    WEll I looked in her mouth and did see yellow plaque. So I got metronidazole. I've been trying to crush it up and put it in her food but I don't know if she's getting the correct dosage. I noticed it seems to be getting worse now. She has a little scab above her eye and what looks to be a little...

    Hello! I am also in East Austin with my own tiny little chicken farm/veggie garden. I know you posted a while back, how are things going? What did you decide on for chickens? Did you get chicks? You may have posted somewhere else about it. Just wondering. HI!

    Mixed: BO & BLR Wyandotte. Any others out there?

    I wasn't sure where else to post this. I have this mix. Her dad was the wyandotte, mom the buff orpington, and I just think she's so pretty! Pea comb, white legs, pretty tick marks on neck, and as you can see from second pic (she's half turned around), pretty greyish feathers on her inside tail...
