Quote: Am on my phone so pic is small for me...will check on my puter later, with that said...my lav orp pullet is 20 weeks and still has no wattles I am going to say cockeral until I get a bigger view later...

Quote: Celeste is very pretty. Is she a Mottled Java?

pips&peeps : Quote: I was told a few things about this as I had an ameraucana roo 2 years ago with it. Eventually, the thing that made the best sense genetically(per the genetic gurus here) to me anyway was this.....the "straw" color is what red leakage would look like on a blue. It is not...

Quote: I was told a few things about this as I had an ameraucana roo 2 years ago with it. Eventually, the thing that made the best sense genetically(per the genetic gurus here) to me anyway was this.....the "straw" color is what red leakage would look like on a blue. It is not ideal and...

no disrespect to Jody, but a "the" color has a name(well, names), why make up a new one? If I develop a mille fleur ameraucana, can I name it something else? It just doesn't make sense to me, sorry. It takes more than one person to create anything for it to thrive and prosper, although she...

are there genotypes etc that keep the lav from adhering to the BBS Standard? except for, of course, the feather color? I was working on an ameraucana project, just was breeding toward the black/blue standard, except for color of feathering, obviously I guess it just seems like a no brainer to...

I don't think there really is a rush to get them accepted is there? I just don't get it I guess. as for harming the variety and sales???? who does this for money other than the hatcheries?? this, as with all colors/varieties is a buyer beware...how many get duped with "ameraucana"?... I think...

ok, so call me lost, but is the term going to be lavender or self-blue?? I lost my lav ameraucana last year to a coyote so the only lav on the property now is a lav orp pair(young, also not sure if they will make it, whole 'nother issue) a lav araucana roo(project ) and some project lav...

I don't think the post was directly pointed at you...many get frustrated seeing these projects being sold as pure on eBay and the like. This reminds me of the whole "ameraucana" thing....talk about opening a can of worms I also have these for my own enjoyment, as well as my other breeds. I...

Quote: But...They are still not a standard even if they are better than hatchery standard orps. If you want pets and eggs I consider them the same as a crossbred chicken. If you want to work on improving them to the Orpington standard with type they are a project in the works. I use mine...

If the black has better "type" then it is worth keeping IMO. When working on a new color you need to keep crossing back into a "pure" bird to improve the type of the project. I have a lav pullet and a lav cockeral. I will put him over a couple of really nice black imported english girls when...
