Is anyone still doing the Silkied Ameraucana project? I'd love to get in on it but all the posts I can find on it are years old.
To clarify, this is pure Ameraucanas with the silkied gene (which cropped up several different times in various lines over the years), NOT Ameraucanas that have been...
Hi all. We are starting a fibro broiler project and are looking for advice. We intend to use Svart Hona, a slightly stockier (and winter-hardy) fibro breed than the more popular Ayam Cemani; they top out at 5-7lbs, vs the Cemani 3.5-5.5lbs.
However, that's adult weight, not butchering weight...
We are having a sale on Cemani chicks! To make room for our White Faced Black Spanish birds, we are making several Cemani available. One 1wk chick, one 2-3wk chick, three 3-4wk chicks, and one 5wk chick. All have nice fibro, they were from our keeper group. Photos above are an example of our...
We have blue Ameraucana and white Ameraucana chicks available, split to Lavender and Wheaten. Hen is a Splash Wheaten Ameraucana, roo is a Lavender. These chicks can be bred for Lavender Wheaten Ameraucanas, or paired with either color to produce just that. Beautiful blue eggs, no green tint...
We are looking for showgirl chicks!
Specifically, we want chicks with very dark fibro, large crests, non-bearded (or some bearded and some non), and moorhead/moorcap (the darker head Silkies sometimes have).
Let us know your price per chick, plus shipping to San Diego! We are looking to...
Hi everyone! So my property isn't quite big enough to have a full-sized coop and run for every breed that I own (hence being a microfarm!), so we were wanting to utilize the breeding pen method of moving a pair or trio over to small sized enclosures for a couple months of obtaining fertile egg...
Last year I saw that someone was breeding specifically for purple eggs, but I lost their contact info. I don't mean the 'plum' bloom of the Croad Langshan - they were using pink eggs and blue eggs to breed for a beautiful purple egg. Trying to find them!
I am looking for a meat bird that breeds true. I want to be able to produce my own stock, and cross-breed if I feel like it. So that seems to eliminate the popular Cornish X (which I am told does not breed true).
The main thing I am going for is size, quickly. I want a bird that is broiler...
Hi all, I wanted to post my project breed and see what everyone thought. I am using 4+ breeds to get all the traits I want, together in one bird. I've nicknamed it Empress, because I am going for a regal, flowing look.
My goal is a non-bantam large-crested silkied fibro NN...
Hi all, I am looking for true Fibromelanistic Showgirls or Silkies. That means, not just black skin, but black meat, organs, dark bones, etc. I keep seeing Silkies with black skin but pale inner flesh. Silkies are a fibro breed... and that means 'black fleshed' not 'black skinned'. They were...
I'm building myself two new coops currently, with another planned. One is just a basic coop for my chicks that are old enough to be outside. I figured, since they are for selling or processing, no point in introducing them to my flock! (The ones I DO want to keep, get banded, and then...
