chrisf, Are those chicks Chamois?

Quote: Cool ! What are you breeding with to get the blue ? Well, that was purely accidental The Ameracauna rooster "wandered". But, it gave me the idea. So I have on order for Spring (fingers crossed) blue polish, spitzhaubens, and (I'm not going to spell this right) crevecours (Black)...

Quote: Cream Brabanters are genetically gold with the cream gene(ig). Crossing a male Cream Brabanter with a Silver Spitzhauben female will result in gold females and silver/gold males. All would be carriers for cream. And if I do it the other way around, with a Silver Spitz sire, and a cream...

Quote: It is recessive. I dont know if any silver Spitzhaubens have the cream gene, if some do then there would be a possibility of a cream F1 pullet. Are you into genetics? I was wondering what I'd get if I bred a Buff Polish to a Silver Polish? Is the black lacing dominant? Yes I am...

Quote: I assumed the off spring would be Silver and Cream rather than gold. It was the sex linked part that was news to me. Cream Brabanters are genetically gold with the cream gene(ig). Crossing a male Cream Brabanter with a Silver Spitzhauben female will result in gold females and...

Quote: Yes, that is correct. I was not aware that this friend was a prisoner of war though. This is my understanding - The German told Dr. McGraw about the Spitzhaubens during World War II. After the war was over, this friend lived near Anderson, Alabama. When Dr. McGraw heard his friend was...

Quote: Yes, he is a very nice guy. He told me about the Spitzhauben importation also. I believe the German friend of Dr. McGraw brought over around three to four dozen Spitzhauben eggs.

Quote: Keevin McGraw has developed a gold spangled Spitzhauben.

Quote: All chickens have primaries and secondaries I dont see any saddle feathers but he is growing in sickle feathers.

Quote: Thanks, Who all have developed Gold Spangled Spitzhaubens the US? There are a few but many of them have limited amount of birds in their flock so it would be a little bit before it would become as numberous as the black and white ones. Thank you.

Quote: Not yet... For 50+ years only the silver spangled, and recently the gold spangled. Thanks, Who all have developed Gold Spangled Spitzhaubens the US?

Do Chamois Spitzhaubens exist in the USA? To me, they are about the most beautiful birds there are.

Does anyone now how many lines of Spitzhaubens have been imported since Dr. Albert McGraw imported them? Thanks.

After looking through many pictures on this thread I see the spangling patterns are quite variable, very much like the McGraws which were developed in part from Spitzhaubens. Could someone post a picture of a young (around 5-8) week old lighter spangled Spitzhauben such as in third picture of...
