If you picked them up and they weren't shipped, you don't have to wait to set them...

Merry Christmas to you and yours!!

:lau Just let me know! :D

You're all settled in new place now, right?

So sorry! :( :hugs

Adorable!! :love

:fl Give me a holler once you move if you want a start up on Araucanas... I've driven to Kentucky a few times to meet up, lol... have a friend over near the Winchester area... :)

Just saw this... you're in Ohio? Where are you moving to?

Nice! She has gorgeous birds, but haven't seen her active on here in a while... :hu

He's not a standard color, very mixed color... closest he would be is *similar* to blue wheaten but the chest should be full blue... He's got 3 rows, yes, but his comb is a bit high... you want it more compact... also, his leg color is a bit off, it should be willow colored... If he's all you...

Congrats!!!

Run your finger down from the spine over the rump... rumpless ones will have a slight indent right at the tailbone... and yes, some that seem fully tailless *can potentially* have a stray feather or 2 crop up once they feather in fully... best to grow them out as long as possible before...

Do you have a rumpless cockerel, or are they all tailed? Either put a rumpless cockerel over your partial tailed, hatch and cull hard... or if you only hve tailed cockerels, still hatch as many of hers as you can and cull hard... pick out a cockerel from the mating with the smallest/thinnest...

Depends on what you start out with and have to work with... Overall though, tufts are probably the easiest to add in while being extremely hard to perfect an even DT... but easiest is usually best left for last... This is my opinion and how I see things from what I have learned about and from...

Incorrect... while breeding tufted to clean faced gives larger number of live hatched chicks, it will give the same % of tufted chicks to hatch as breeding tufted to tufted... Breeding tufted to tufted results in lower % of clean faced chicks and higher % of DIS... Breeding tufted to clean...

Mixed colors then... could be just about anything, from those colors blended together or look similar with leakage, etc... Chick in the 5th pic and last pic look like they have tufts... need clearer, closer pics to tell for sure... it's just a small clump of down longer than the rest anywhere...

You can see tufts right at hatch... you have a couple at least... as for colors, where did they come from? Some keep colors separate and some don't...

Cockerels will have black feathers on their breasts, pullets will have salmon breasts... Lisa had amazing flocks, I got Apollo from her... Nice hatch! Cute chicks!! :fl :fl

Ouch, that's a bit of a chunk, lol... If Jenn has better quality cockerel that would match up what you want better, don't be afraid to cull from what you already picked up... Jenn's got solid quality lines, seen some of her winners... ;) Also, if the type and form is good, don't let clean...

Interesting... he looks like mine but with white replacing all the gold/cream and the blue washed out to almost none... Do they all look like this or just him?
