12+ blue laced red Brahma project hatching eggs

[big medicine]

I got a PM asking about the expected color of the chicks, thought it would be a good idea to share this with everyone who might be wondering the same thing.

When breeding "Andalulution" type blue chickens, and I am referring to the color of the lacing on the outer edge of the feather in this case.

parents = chicks
blue x blue= 25%black, 50%blue, 25%splash
black x blue= 50%black, 50%blue
black x black= 100%black
black x spash= 100%blue
blue x splash= 50%blue, 50%splash
splash x splash= 100%splash(not an option in this hatch)
Complicating this slightly are the two splash blue columbian pullets, being that they are silver based and all the rest are gold based. This will have no effect on their female chicks, they will be gold based as well. Because male chicks carry two color genes, the sons of these two hens will carry both silver and gold. Probably looking more blue and white,or mostly white, with gold bleeding into the neck,saddle,and shoulders.
Having the black laced cock in the pen will increase the percentage of black laced chicks somewhat, but should help increase size.

Probably, but I will be asking a good bit more for them. This is a test run on the blue laced eggs, get the bugs worked out, at a reduced starting price. I hope that doesn't come off as arrogent, but you have to understand how much I have invested in getting the silver laced birds to this point.

Took a few more shots this afternoon after it clouded up, not so bright and washed out.

Yeah, I understand that this project has taken years you get when you are now and I commend you for the great job. Those silver laced are so cool though and better than any silver laced breed I have ever seen. Could you possibly give me a ballpark figure for about 6 of the SL eggs including shipping whenever you will have some. You can PM me if you want.

By the way, if anyone bids less than a dollar higher than the previous bid, I am, at the risk of negative feedback, considering sending not my freshest eggs, if that person wins. These penny bids on here are just ridiculous. Now that I've P.O. potential bidders, did I set any kind of record for a run on sentence?

These are really cool birds.... If my bator was not full, I would be in on these...

. Don't worry about offending us. Others will do it because they can, and everybody will always want to pay the lowest they can. Why pay more when you can get away with paying less? There was some talk of doing away with the penny bids, as you are not the only seller it bothers. Considering that you've posted what will happen if someone does it, I guess the bidders will have to take that into account. However, alot of bidders don't read all the follow-up posts, so you might want to edit your original post, and add your clause to it.

Hey, I was up late, and getting kranky. I was looking through the bid histories, and thinking some of these folks need a good swift kick in the arse. I said it, so I reckon I'll stand by it.

Big, it is ok..no need to defend what was said...the sharks (haha...) as carrie mentioned actually just do it to tease each other....but at the end the price does get up there! And as like carrie said, you may need to put a disclaimer on the original post so ppl will read it....these birds are beautiful and good luck with your auction!
