They are considered project because they are not a recognized color and we are still working on correct slate legs, but we are starting to see those slate legs now it will just take time to weed out the mottled legs. They do breed true with the exception of blue mottled obviously because blue...
We don't have either of those breeds but you are so close to me. Just wanted to say hey from our neck of the woods. We vacation over at Lacygne lake every year. Hoping to take the horses over more often this year.
A lot of people have been asking about egg color with the mottled Ameraucanas. Now I can't speak for everyones mottleds, but for ours here is a photo showing side by side comparison with white eggs. This photo is 100% raw no editing other than to add our farm name for copy write protection. No...
Mottled carrier maybe? Most of mine show mottling by point of lay at least a few feathers anyway. We introduced solid AM's to the mottled line to improve them and give more genetics so we didn't run into close inbreeding that would create deformed chicks. by doing so though we had a lot of split...
Egg color is awesome. I posted a pic in top post. The big hurdle we are working on right now is leg color. With the mottling gene comes mottled legs which are not standard. Some have said it's not possible to correct but we have a little black mottled hen here with solid slate legs so yes it is...
I know I'm so envious of some of those porcelain pekins you all have over there. I'm starting the project this year already have some self blue chicks spoken for and coming my way in February. I'll be crossing them onto the MF and the black mottleds that come out of my MF line. Was hoping that...
Yep waiting on the girls to decide to turn the egg factory back on.
Great.... Good to see everyone coming on board with the mottleds
Ok, I'll let you know when we have some extras. Obviously we give priority to our orders that are booked first but if there is a time where they are cranking the...
Seems that way with the first batch...... soon enough though you should start seeing veins. I actually can see them at 4 days but I leave them in til 7 before pitching clear eggs. I have 3 week chicks 2 week old chicks and 1 week old chicks as well as a batch due to hatch in a week. I'm crazy...
I've started a Mottled Ameraucana thread for anyone interested in the project or currently working with them.

Starting the official Mottled Ameraucana thread. We are really starting to see more people interested in the project and I think it's important to have a place for all of us breeders to come together. Please leave your comments to yourself if your goal is to come on here and argue that these are...
How is everyone doing? I've been MIA lately but all is well here at Coyote Night Acres other than it's definitely winter. Hope everyone's birds are doing well in the cold ours seem to be doing okay for now. We did have 1 hen get a little cold and wasn't able to maintain her body temp but she was...
I would start with lav mf cross if I have to start from scratch which is what I'm thinking. I love the color from when I had the d'uccles but I love my cochins more than the d'uccle breed so I'm going to begin the project this year.
