    Chasin Shade Farm - https://www.ebay.com/itm/116642144271 Good packaging + great communication. Honestly my best hatch rate out of all the birds. Honestly good stock so far. 4/5 of the BCM's had the gold neck dots. Interesting enough the blues from Cedar also had the gold dots on their necks...

    We are in the flight path for all international flights in our area. So he does tend to call for anything. Half the time im glinting and like DUDE it's a AIRPLANE. Rather him call then not I guess :lol:

    But to answer your question. I have my OG line tagged by the state for the NPIP w/ numbers so I track them that way. These new ones I'm going to do the permanent bands in about two weeks. Plan is to make sure they standout, and easier to guide. I'm also in the process to sourcing a shed to...

    I somehow also ended up with a blue cuckoo from Cedar Hills too. (he had labeled it as a freebie). Going to be a rooster I'm almost certain (hackles up and harassing my splash). Also is the largest of the babies. But very cute. Maybe I'll separate out the golden/cuckoos.

    So funny enough. The splash and blues all came from Cedar. The black all came from the greenfire farms offshoot. I had none from the texas BBS hatch technically. Then I have two EE x BCM crosses, One BCM from my current line, and then two cuckoo's (roosters) I'll have to get some pics of them...

    Hi all, I've been working now for almost three years on getting my Blue/Black/Splash line going and after this year of trials and tribulations. I have gotten probably the best little birds to start out on my grow outs for late this year, and going into the following. This is a smaller project...

    I've seen them. It's a double recessive trait effectively. A lot of people call them self blue etc. They are pretty but it's double recessive and a newer color so not much variety etc. Still really pretty.

    Yeah it sparked my interest. The only reason why I know so much about this is because I did a huge deep dive on Sebastopol geese and they similarly have close genetics just different expressions for recessive/dominant genes. (Grey/Buff/Blue/Lavender) and there is like a multitude of...

    Yeah I'm just wondering if it's similar to the cuckoo dots where you can tell and it's a sex linked thing. (Could not be as well). Be interesting to be able to have a sex linked BCM. I'll try and do some digging on the spotting stuff but I agree with the chick thing as it has 0 impact on adult...

    Usually color expression should have some links back to something or another. IE spotting in some can be a sign of "impurity" but that is because it shows a color gene for white birds and obviously you don't want a splash to show up in your pure white birds etc. Love to know more about it...

    Imma have to go down the rabbit hole on the copper spot on chicks to see if there is any kinda of genetic link to something on it. Unless someone else has already done that lol.
