    What's wrong with their feathers?

    Hi - all the eggs I sent out were Fluffy x F1, so 50% fluffy and 50% smooth carriers. The 25% is when you use F1 x F1, which is not something I used due to the non-carrier smooth birds that can hatch. From the auction you got eggs from: Quote:

    Oh dear - I'm so sorry!! The poor boy!! He was such a good rooster too, a bit timid, but really loved his girls. Yes, the top photo are Fluffy and the bottom looks normal smooth. You can tell on these birds pretty much as soon as they dry! CONGRATS to everyone who hatched chicks...

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    PHEW . That was a BUSY three weeks. We had birds get lost by the PO, Renee and I spent a full week calling EVERY single phone number we could think of to get them located and delivered. Then the following week was MLK day, so I couldn't ship the next group, but was still calling and...

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    These birds are not silkie-ameraucana crosses. I know there's a lot to read, but please do as those of us who have spent time working on this project have done a lot of research and investigating into why Jubaby's original pair came out the way they did (and how to breed them true). Thanks!

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    Yay!! Here's a tip for lockdown (it's actually somewhere buried deep in this thread) if you have a flat style incubator (hovabators or sportsman) Take some used egg cardboard cartons. Cut off the lids. Lay them on top of the wire. Lay the eggs on their sides, but nestled in close. Why...

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    So it looks like the site is up again!! BUT it looks like auctions are still disabled! Six of the birds went out yesterday, and ten will go out next Tuesday. That being said, I will be able to send out two dozen of the Line B pullet eggs next week, and possibly one dozen of the Line A...

    I think that might just be mud on the blue one's darker legs: I'll see if I can swing by the ranch and get better pictures later this week.

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    Quote: It's been debated. From what I remember, the seller of the original eggs that Jubaby purchased was also working on a 'large fowl Silkie" project of some sort, so it is very likely that Silkies were used to introduce the hookless gene way way back. So you could start from scratch, but...

    Nicole, I have one trio left if you're interested (original fluffy roo, and 2 of the Line A hens), and some auctions going for eggs until everyone is shipped out. PM me if you'd be interested!

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    ...Pure Ameraucanas from Pips&Peeps. Hatched 3/15/11 (Sorry, I don't have a good picture of them. A bit darker than the Line A birds.) They have *just* started laying (12/23 to be exact). Nice blue color eggs. (That's the good news part!) 4 Blue Smooth F1 roosters (Line B) - from my Splash...

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    Quote: It has popped up in mine as well - my original male splash fluffy from her eggs has leakage (I don't have any recent pictures though). He did pass it to about half of his sons through an unrelated female (splash boys have red/brown on wings, blue boys have gold on wings). How is the...

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    Quote: I sent you F1xFluffy from my B line. The A line isn't laying yet - I'm hoping to see an improvement in their egg coloring, as the B line turned out to be very pale! We'll have to exchange again when you've got some laying!!

    What's wrong with their feathers?

    Quote: No blacks yet, need these blues to hit laying age and cross w/ their 'aunts' and 'uncles' from the other F1 line. Had some trouble w/ coccidiosis, these fluffies don't seem to be able to pick up any immunity from medicated chick starter like our other birds. Figured out the problem...
