I don't have any for sale, but I have a few pictures, if you would like. Fun thread. Anybody else got more pictures? Jocelyn

Here you go, a Passion fowl from an add in the Mercury newspaper in Chile. Birds listed as blue laying hens, and this picture of a male.

I think leghorns have been crossed in lately, and it does remove some of the brown tints in the eggs. It also reduces the intensity of the blue colour. There are passion fowl in Chile, these birds are blue laying bantams and have a single comb. There is linkage between blue eggs and the comb...

You might be able to mail a blood drop on "Guthrie cards" These are protein sparing cotton blotters that are treated to make the samples sterile. They are used in new born baby screening for inherited diseases and can be banked for years. You might be able to get some at your local hospital...

this is a black skinned male, mixed race South American here is a hen, she is bald so you can see black skin in a living bird then there are the usual ones, less black in males, still black in females Jocelyn

Yes, it's genetic and fairly easy to breed out. I had D'Uccles who had wry tails and crossed to a male who did not. Some of the chicks were normal. I mated those to sibs to get some who also had a normal outside toe, not short like mine. The normal tailed and toed ones went back into the...

I have some mixed race South Americans that are fairly black. Also some like this Jocelyn

All the ones I have cooked with black skin have black raw meat and dark brown cooked meat. I have some of the South American stocks, but no Cemani Jocelyn

Yes, I am the person who originally posted the Dong Xiang picture. It comes from a paper in the the Blue Egg Clucker, a newsletter from the Araucana Club of America. There is a Chinese researcher studying the blue egg gene, and he has asked for blood samples from folks with araucanas...

Some of the south american stocks are very dark meat, very black. They are every bit as black as the swarthons, Swedish black hens. If one wishes to explore the possibilities of a mirror phenotype, they could form the base. One will have difficulties with imports for the next while, due to...

There are a lot of breeds already legally in Canada and the USA that could be combined to make a Cemani look alike with some of the alleles found in Oceanic class stocks. One could take a serama hen and mate her to the smallest dark skinned South American type fowl you can get, and recover...

Hi Medicine Man, no, I'm in Canada..... east coast...PEI Jocelyn

I was looking at the little chipmunk chicks of Smooth Mule, I am guessing, but I'd say Black Breasted Red for both, and too soon to say if Columbian restricted or not, but it's possible. Probably silver, but that can be hard to see till a few more feathers.Some times you can get a silver with...

Even in Chile folks are talking about the leghorn bred in, and the barred rock and the brahmas...so there too, the stock is becoming outcrossed. A lot of the birds from Nicarogua are rumpless, bearded and black breasted reds. Many are black skinned. Some stocks from Mexico are blacks, black...

No, she is not from a hatchery. She comes from southern Chile. There was an oil worker who brought eggs home and gave them to his father or father in law...can't remember which. I got eggs from the older lad the next spring. He said he had hatched only the eggs from Chile, so I suppose they...

Hi Victoria, yes I still have Dotty. She's twenty and her eyes are a little cloudy now, and her toes lumpy.....but she still takes a standing leap and flutters up to the 9 foot roosts, so she's still OK. http://i459.photobucket.com/albums/qq314/JocelynClarke/Dotcropped.jpg jocelyn

Hi folks. I'm new here, so pardon me if I'm not up to speed. Slinky is likely silver, wheaten and mahogany. The roo who fathered the new chicks is likely birchen and split for silver. He probably does not have melanotic, as he has silver/gold leakage. Handsome lad. Jocelyn
