    Ended Some Poultry Are Red, Some Are Blue, But Let's Not Forget, They Can Be Barred Too!

    Not to derail the thread too much, but I get about a 1 out of 8 Bielefelder body type out of my F2s and F3s. Here is FUBAR (she was a very ugly chick that had a great glow-up) being used as a blanket by her smaller siblings.

    Entry 2 - BARS Group shot of the F2 Squad, part of my Bielefelder/Fayoumi project. They have two types of barring going on here, an auto-sexing barring, as well as an autosomal dominant lateral penciling (I've seen several arguments over whether this is called barring or pencilling!)

    Entry 1 - RED With flaming locks of auburn [plumes] With ivory [eggs] and [legs] of [olive] green Jolene was absolutely FIERCE broody, she even scalped a few cockerels that stuck their beaks in the wrong place.

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

    Another update: his half-brother returned, and also has the split comb! I named him Candy Corn. Aside from being an automatic DQ for breeds with SOPs, are there any health drawbacks to split combs for long-term breeding projects? Like, would this eventually result in two-headed chicks? 🫠😂 I...

    ABSOLUTELY! She's a nutbar. Plucked her ENTIRE midriff bare when she was broody. Not just a belly patch, her sides and BACK too! I like sharing this pic of as a 'not an entry' because it's not moulting, but she definitely looks great in a 2-piece. She did great rearing those chicks.

    @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"

    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.
