    Oh my- that egg is so awesome! Have you got a photo of the hen? What is she? Is she a product of your own selective breeding? How did you arrive at this>?

    Dm Rippey has it going on- what a blessing. She's got a proper cornucopia of colours there. If you're having trouble with hatching drop any feed with soy. If they're your breeders trade it out for a nutritious scratch diet, with small supplementation of dried chick peas and twice a week open a...

    Black Quechua and genuine Quetero sometimes have eggs like you're describing. Coturnix quail and bustards do- some sort of rare matrix of pigments- -crypsis related I've heard from Renee Caldwell that there's a breed called Croad Langshan I think that produces lilac eggs but evidently they are...

    Anyone with a hen that produces an egg as pink- clearly pink as the eggs above and wants to sell her, I will pay 100.00 for that hen plus shipping and box. I don't care what the breed is or even the condition given she's not diseased.

    Not a breed yet but the progress these breeders are making is astonishing. They'll be their own subbreed sooner than later!

    Lords Flock: Here's what I gathered this week that are going in incubator tonight. I'm trying for blue hens with copper neck/hackles with tufts and feathered legs. My Olive Egger flock started with one blue/barred EE hen who loved the B.C. Marans and stayed in their coop. She laid the light...

    Quote: Wouldn't think of it. Now, tell me, are those birds in the USA? Oh my, I do love those eggs. They are Japanese. I think some of that stock may be out in the Pacific Northwest with a poultier generating his own breed called the "Black Bar". I had the rooster for a long while and...

    Quote: Is that a real egg? OMG, that is beautiful, for sure. Actually, I do prefer the glossy eggs over the matte. I get both, from my Marans. Yes this egg is real. I hope that just like dark egg laying breeds producing such a wide range of gorgeous dark russet to chocolate to coffee to...

    Kansaseq My only current olive egger, (EE x Barnie) and he's a BOY! At least he's eye candy for me Tequila is a most gorgeous sire for a founder flock! Now to just select for legs the same colour as those eggs!

    Quote: Actually at this stage, from my perspective, the egg shell colour is unappealing. They look like eggs that have been left in the egg box too long and have gone rotten. That said, there is quite a lot to work with. The depth of colour is hard to beat. The consistency of the hue is...

    Quote: I need you to edit what comes out of my brain! Quote: Sometimes a tragedy or something unfortunate occurs and a flock of "mutts" has to leave the hands of their beloved owner and ends up at some farm that raises birds for sale. It's very difficult to control the impulses of...

    Bamboo Saddle Dragger I'm sorry that I came off as such a condescending jerk. I really do not sit on high -but we all write from where we sit and just like all of you sometimes I'm writing in an environment that includes lots of coffee and I'm snuggling into BYC during down times. I wrote to...

    Quote: ? No idea where that's coming from. I've reiterated about ten times how much I value what you're attempting to do here. The point I'm making has also been repeated several times. If you don't want to hear what I'm saying so be it. Hardly a troll. I'm done here.

    Quote: The ancestor of Ameraucana and the Quechua originated in the South Pacific cultivated- created by cultures, mostly extinct now. These people never came into contact with that KFC gene stock until they were introduced in the 19th century. Consequently, the ancient stocks are largely...

    Quote: I think I pretty much covered your questions in the last part of my last post. KFC stands for genetically over represented chickens. The entire world's population of chickens are becoming genetically contaminated with the genes of what are incredibly productive, useful and well bred...

    Kentucky Fried Chicken =KFC; South America= SA I don't intend to be hyper critical here, especially of someone with obviously good intentions -however naive they might be. The North American Araucana "True" has been maintained and refined by some of the best poultiers in the world. It breaks...

    Quote: WHY on EARTH would you intentionally produce a tufted rumpless contaminated with commercial heavy breed genetics? I'm sorry to be so frank in my question but this is without a doubt Unethical. How can you guarantee that that stock isn't going to end up in the collective gene pool...
