I plan on selective breeding for the longest tail and legs although I may be open to adding breeds that have those traits if they are offered to me. I might look into adding Phoenix blood into it eventually but for the time being I'm going to focus on getting bigger blue layers from this...
My goal is a breed who lays extra large blue eggs, has feathered legs, a crest, beard and muffs, turquoise earlobe, black skin, silkie feathers, small pea comb, 5 toes, long tail,long legs, and bigger than jersey giants and Brahms. So far I have chicks who have white leghorn, jersey giant...
the original hen I started with was a poor quality white laced red Cornish Bantam and the rooster was a e^b/e^wh large fowl EE. Would it be more beneficial to start over with a pure ameraucanas? And maybe incorporate this bloodline later?
I'm going for buff laced white like in polish, but my chicks so far have buff lacing on a white feather. The mother was only split for the pattern genes. I would share pictures however the app isn't letting me I did post them in the ameraucana projects group on Facebook though
black with buff would produce black chicks who might have gold leakage as adults. The white with the black would produce black chicks unless the white is hiding a gene that modifies black such as the blue gene
I have 5 three month old buff laced white f2 chicks as well as some 2 month olds, I need something to outcrops to for next year because they are all full siblibgs. What breeds are close in type and also have lacing without going down in size? The mother of these chicks is half Lf half Bantam but...
I just got a chick yesterday. It is 3/4 silkie 1/4 spangled Russian orloff. It has dark skin, a walnut comb, smooth feathers, a vaulted skull, 5 toes on each foot and it even has some down on every single toe. Could I potentially call this a smooth white sizzle? And is it possible to show them...
he has similar color to my ee boy rusty https://www.instagram.com/p/BN2ce1ajqE2frNxSo60tARlzs3CtZy3Ftb7BQI0/ except my boy looks brighter than yours. Oscar wouldn't happen to have orpington and white leghorn in him would he?
