    @casportpony -- will there be admin review of the entries to see if they are APA? I know some color varieties aren't recognized, and I don't want to see some of the pretty ladies be dq'd for being in the wronge category

    Oh! I realize that something I did recently qualifies! Here is an illustration of a male and female Bielefelder chicks, showing their auto-sexing colors. The little girl's face is overworked, but I'm pleased with it as a first effort after YEARS. Medium: Prismacolor pencils on paper Size: ~ 6"x 6"

    Egyptian Fayoumis Thread!

    Newcastle and coccidia! I have been corresponding with a retired professor from the ISU lab that originally imported the flock. She confirmed that the hatchery with the most direct lineage to those birds is McMurray.

    Spontaneous Mutations? Split-Comb, Tassle, All-White?

    Update -- perhaps a clue? I noticed that a Fayoumi pullet I got this summer from the same hatchery as mom/grandmom has a sprig/possible split! 🤔

    Ah, interesting! I've heard 'transverse pencilling' to describe their plumage before. This is what happens when there's no standardization! :lol:

    Spontaneous Mutations? Split-Comb, Tassle, All-White?

    Spontaneous Mutations? Split-Comb, Tassle, All-White?

    It's a neighbor in walking distance, she got 5 chicks from me to raise up for her in-laws. She has no other youngsters. I'll be getting him a leg band and a blood draw later today, there are certain Fayoumi immune system genes that I'm using some lab science to isolate, so I can check to see...

    Spontaneous Mutations? Split-Comb, Tassle, All-White?
