Understandable analogy!

Well, I am glad I at least finally got it sorted out in my mess of a brain! Thanks for the help and guidance, and enjoy your breed semantic arguments - we all need something to "discuss"with others, right??:idunno:D

No, not confusing me further. The variations in explanation were very helpful. Although I guess I would view it more as like a horse breed like my Caspian, when it comes to variations of one breed being bred together. A Caspian has skeletal, muscular, and other points that determine it to be, in...

Huh. Ok. Thanks for the links! Finally found the pictures!!! Seems that to be registerable, they have to be bred along color lines, but they also acknowledge some crosses of the colors, apparently. I'll be good with my mutt Ameraucanas from McMurray. I want blue eggs, not show birds! I certainly...

Interesting that their site doesn't mention leg color. I am still coming back to Ameraucana with this rooster in all but being sure of the egg gene... And with McMurray Hatchery's claim that all of theirs breed true for blue eggs, they would be true Ameraucanas. Still reading...

So should the legs be more like my Hamburgs? Or Phoenixes?

And what if Ameraucanas are from a mixed flock? What would make him an Easter egger if they still remain true to blue eggs? (I cannot verify eggs on him or the other I bought, as they are only 10 weeks along, and I did not hatch them) Just trying to figure things out! I just ordered Ameraucanas...

Thanks in (large) part to this site, I got curious when my supposed hen started crowing, did some digging, and found out that the pictured "Ameraucana hen" was actually an Easter Egger Rooster. However, he seems to match pretty much every description I can find of Ameraucanas, down to the...

Oh, I realized I left a picture in of the first rooster discovered, since rehomed- a sweet Cream Legbar. The first two pictures are the Easter Egger rooster that was discovered the morning after the Cream Legbar crowed. Still trying to figure out what to do with him!!

I'm not entirely sure which one you are referring to, but no, I have not had any Mille Fleurs, but I hear they are gorgeous! I have a Kelso, RI Reds, Silver Laced Wyandottes, Australorps, Silver Spangled Hamburgs, Phoenixes, Easter eggers, and a White Leghorn. I think that covers them all!!

That chicken has been an odd bird from the start, and my children have never been around chickens before her, so they had no boundaries in what to expect... I have absolutely no clue how in the world they discovered she would lie upside down, but you can carry that bird upside down and cradled...

Now for the horses! First off, my boy, Merlin - the 19 year old Caspian stud. Caspians are an ancient breed, believed to be depicted as early as King Darius' seal in Biblical times, and possible predecessor of Arabians. When viewed without scale, they can easily be mistaken for them! In...

Our birds, in random order. The first is the second roo that crowed this week. Yes, one of the pictures shows a chicken on my son's head. That is the Kelso. Lots of chicks in our current batch. And our grown girls, one of which we recently had to put down, as she had become chronically egg bound...

Good luck, Feathermaid! I hope to see an update before long that you have found your dream place!!

Thanks!

I say keep on keepin' on!! (But a backup plan may save a lot of heartache if they are found!)

We have a 19 year old Caspian stallion and a 2 year old half arabian❤

Hi, all! I'll work on getting pictures up of my birds. :) And I have now added a location! We have actually already closed on our property, but we have had a LOT to do to get it ready for move in. It was blank pasture and tractor barn, being converted to horse stalls, separate paddocks...

I have a problem, but I seek no help! We currently have 22 chickens. We had 23 yesterday, but our 10 week cream legbar started to crow and he found a new home!! Today an Ameraucana started to crow, and now I am debating letting him breed with some of our mature hens! We have had chickens for...
