Wild type usually refers to bb red or closely related colors similar to red jungle fowl.Striped chicks.It can include the silver version.

Looks like the Columbian pattern.Like in brahma or Wyandotte and other breeds also.

Got 24 eggs from Ray-n-Debi last week.I have good fertility when I checked today.

That would be my guess.

I will take a shot at predicting the outcome.Females should be blue and black 50/50.Not likely to seeany leakage.Males black and blue 50/50.Leakage should be close to 100%.May get some lacing.It is said you need 2 copies of the pattern gene to get lacing.But then look at these from a golden...

I have found 14 days to be enough when changing roosters.I have tested this by hatching.At about 10 days the percent from the previous rooster starts to drop very fast.

The first pic is one of the original roosters.The otther 2 are his offspring from a ameraucana hen.I had no araucana hens available for him.

I wanted to share some genetic info on some breeding I did.Through breeding results I find the araucana splash roosters I bought 3 years ago actually were dominate pied [erminett].A bird with 2 copiesis is white and when bred to black produce 100% pied [erminett].Birds that are also barred or...

At one time they were in the standard mid to late 1970's.At that time what we now call ameracana and a clean face version also were called araucana.The two breeds went their seperate ways.The breed clubs have the right to request changes to the standard.That is how we got 2 breeds with very...

I would like to share what I have learned about some araucana mixes that look like what you call splash blue cuckoo.I am not saying my genetics are the same as yours but they look similar.I offer these results for your consideration.I started with 2 sale barn cockerels sold as splash.When bred...

Here is the other pic.

https://www.backyardchickens.com/forum/uploads/49442_1f.jpg[/img] Here are a couple of pics of what I got from crossing a [splash] araucana onto black ameraucana.No blues produced.So that rules out splash.I then thought pied.Which seemed to fit.I now read that pied is recessive.Since 2 copies...

Sorry to change the topic.I would like to know if white ear lobes are correct.I am using a out dated standard and the club website does not say anything about ear lobe color.Just want to select for standard traits as my start is not up to standard yet. Jerry

This is for village chicken.Cure for egg eater chickens.Use a pair of dog toenail clippers and trim the beaks until they bleed be sure to have blood stop powder on hand.In extreme cases of bleeding you can cauterize the wound.You don't want them to bleed to death.This trim job makes the end of...

Ok I will try some pics.The first pic is the original color pattern but of a offspring.The rest are siblings.The hens were black and some whites.It did not behave as splash as no blues were hatched.The barring came from the dominate white hens.I think the pied gene is involved.

Iam new to this thread and trying to figure out this color pattern.I have some that resemble this splash cuckoo pattern but my breeding results from last year suggest it is not splash but perhaps pied. I will try to post some pics later when DW can help.I bought 2 roos that were said to be...
