My condolences. :( Its hard losing so many or even 1 for that matter. At least you still have the 2. That fox I was talking about killed all my banties but 3 and my favorite 2 big girls at the time. I was devastated. I just came home yesterday to find my current favorite banty dead in her run...
I have a banty female that has a mostly black comb with a little bit of pinky red showing through. She was born with it and is healthy as can be. Her mother had a completely black comb and no silkie in her bloodline that I know of and her father had a huge red comb along with white toes on...
Now that's an interesting thought. Would I have a chance of regular blue and splash birds if he bred my blues? Hmm...I might just have to order 2 sets of hatching eggs. Some BBS and Blue Wheaton. Lol Hubby is going to hate me. Unless I can track down some Splash Am hens and a trio or pair of...
Thanks for the chart! I am actually breeding for EE'S so separating out colors isn't a worry. I would have a couple Am hens of the same color as the roo so I could have a few pures but my main focus would be diverse EE chicks. My flock currently contains gl polish, light brahma, dark cornish...
I would in a heartbeat if I lived within driving distance. :/ Hope you find a good home for him!
On another note I have a question for you all. Between a black, blue, splash or wheaton which color Roo would give me the most diverse colored chicks over a mixed flock? Right now I have a black and...
I don't have any pictures of my pures or a lot of my others up. Been a long time since I got to do a photo shoot. I've lost some birds along the way and gained some new. If I get some time soon I'll try to get pics of everybody. But you are correct about some of the birds in my profile being...
I posted about my pure Am girl laying a creamish egg a little while ago and got some opinions on her. Well...I just noticed while I was frying up couple of her eggs that the inside of her eggs are pink. Like pink pink. I have never seen anything like it. Even my brown eggs are white on the...
I am so frustrated and sad. I had been wondering why I wasn't getting many blue/green eggs when I should have had 4 hens laying them. Turns out that my 'Pure Ameraucana' ladies are not so pure after all. :/ One for sure lays a cream color egg, the other I haven't caught in the act of laying yet...
Well I assumed she was a blue but she is much paler than the blue Roo I have. She could be a lavender I suppose. I'll have to get a good picture of her soon and post.
On another note I know your Ams have great egg color. :D The bantam Am hen I hatched and kept from your eggs last year lays the...
Huh, I came on this thread to ask about my Ams egg color and the last few posts are on exactly that! I have 2 pure Ams. A blue and a black possibly split for lavender. I haven't been able to pin point who is laying what egg but both lay a green to bluish green egg. I take it it's common to have...
