    How Many Eggs Did You Get Today?

    30! Haven’t seen that in a long while. The last of the spring pullets are starting to lay.

    Rare Lavender Ameraucana

    No. You’ll get Lavender, Dom White and Lav Ermine. You need a Lavender and Dom White (homozygous white, with zero lavender feathers) to give you 100% Lav Ermine. Works the same with Black Ermines. You also need to watch for feather quality with the Lavender gene so that’s why I have Blacks...

    Rare Lavender Ameraucana

    Nope, it’ll be a project for a while still. But the Bantam Ermine Ameraucana was just accepted and later this year the large fowl Ermine is up for possible acceptance. Fingers crossed!

    Haha, yeah I love Lavender so when I saw this photo it was game over.

    Rare Lavender Ameraucana

    If you’re still looking….I will have some Lavender Ameraucana late this Winter/early Spring. I’m in Chester SC. First up in my Ameraucana pen will be my Lavender Ermine rooster over a variety of girls to create Lavender, Blacks split to lav, Ermine, Dominant White split to lav and Lavender...

    Opal Legbar x Lavender Ameraucana?? What will chicks be?

    Yes all male chicks will get the barring gene from momma and the female chicks will not. However, I'm not sure how well you'll be able to tell at hatch- a head dot on lavender chick down may not be super obvious. If not, then once the wing feathers start to come in you should be able to see the...

    Is using tail feather to sex chicks accurate? Suspected male Cream Legbar is growing tail feathers rather quick?

    Yeah, Cream Legbars are a fun autosexing breed so you can tell gender at day old; by head dot, coloring and specific chipmunk markings. 😊 Of course that trait can be lost if a breeder has a poor quality line and doesn’t continue to cull for unclear markings.

    Is using tail feather to sex chicks accurate? Suspected male Cream Legbar is growing tail feathers rather quick?

    Just to confirm...your Cream Legbar chick is indeed a cockerel.

    Lavender/Blue EE Project Pen- Using a Golden Duckwing split to Lavender…?

    Nope, his brothers chests are all solid colored, black or blue. BUT interesting thing is THIS boy is from the same Lavender Ameraucana rooster but momma is a BYM (satin silkie mix with some Ameraucana and a dash of unknown). Neither parent has any lacing. Is lacing always dominant or cannot...

    Lavender/Blue EE Project Pen- Using a Golden Duckwing split to Lavender…?

    How fun is that?! A Golden Laced Duckwing...that’s really exciting to me. It’s great to see the color Gold in your boy compared to Golden, thanks for sharing! And I didn’t realize the markings on the chest were lacing, I thought it was leakage. I have 2 brothers (or maybe half brothers) to...

    Lavender/Blue EE Project Pen- Using a Golden Duckwing split to Lavender…?

    Well, because I had that challenge before 🤪lol....with this round of hatching I’d put all the hens in a separate pen till all eggs were no longer fertilized, then I put them in with a single roo- not my breeding but a truly gorgeous Lavender Ameraucana from a reputable breeder so I thought I was...

    Lavender/Blue EE Project Pen- Using a Golden Duckwing split to Lavender…?

    Oh that’s lacing? That is very interesting. I figure he got what appeared to me to be duckwing from the Legbar half of his momma but nobody has lacing. 🤷🏼‍♀️ The only other blue egg laying hens in that breeding pen were Black and Lavender Ameraucana.

    Lavender/Blue EE Project Pen- Using a Golden Duckwing split to Lavender…?

    I’ve started a project pen to create blue egg laying Easter Eggers that are non black feathered, ideally Lavender and Blue combined. I have some lovely lavender and icy blue birds growing out now that I plan to do the next gen with come Spring ‘26. I hatched this boy that I “think” is a Golden...

    Sexing cream legbar X Swedish flower hen chicks at hatch

    A Cream Legbar hen only has one barring gene and she can only give it to her sons, so yes a head dot would mean males. But if you did the opposite cross with a Cream Legbar rooster, who has 2 barring genes- he gives a barring gene to ALL of his offspring so they’d all have head dots.
