It was not over the birds . Ahh election irregularities . Enough said .

Glad to hear it! Politics as usual.....

Thank you jerry, ravyn, and sc for the explanation. It helps me appreciate my Easter Egger a little more. Maybe I'll call him a project just for fun. Haha.

Project colors are a special circumstance . Not all projects are popular . I have been known to call some of my own EE in the beginning . I admit to not being a fan of some of the other projects . I want to remain respectful of the effort others put into these projects and hope to receive respect for my efforts . My lavender cuckoo and cuckoo were controversial at first . I called them EE until recently . I have made progress and shown them .

There is a guy near me, don't know if you've heard of Pokey's Poultry. He has absolutely gorgeous birds that he advertises as Ameraucana, but they aren't accepted colors. Would that be a project?

I just dropped a quarter in the slot and waited for the machine to run. I appreciate all this information myself

I literally just minutes ago paid for six Blue/Splash SiAms hatching eggs from Pokey's Poultry.

I used to get a few of these silkied type from large silvers in the 80's . Always culled them early . This seems to be from the stringy gene and different from the silkie breed . So no silkie blood was used . Not sure where or when this entered the breed . Most likely a spontaneous mutation .

He has some really pretty birds, I just feel like it is false advertising. Especially when I am going to be trying to sell the real thing 30 miles away

That's my understanding of it too. It popped up in a couple of splash chickens someone hatched.

Yes. I haven't seen the silky mix, but the ones he calls ameraucanas are really really pretty. Almost pastel colors, and really full muffs and beards

I get what you're saying. Though someday they may be accepted in.

What color Amerucaunas do you have?
