Ditto. I've recently become "educated" about my flock of Ameraucanas, opps...I mean Easter Eggers. I enjoy the girls and their pretty eggs, but now I'm ready to "dabble" in breeding.
So, I've purchased two true Ameraucana cockerels-One White for my EE's and Black for the Blue & Black chicks from another breeder. (good lines I just can't remember names at the moment-still such a newbie).
Also, not one to just dip my toe in the water. I just acquired two Black Copper Marans roos. I plan to play around with that breed AND use them to create some "Olive Eggers".
Meanwhile, I'm going to get % up in the bator so I can start buying eggs and hatching my new projects. Whew. But, I'm excited!
BTW, my first BYC post. Yay!

Welcome Bikechick! Lots of TN people here. We like to split orders from out-of-state breeders on occasion

Claude came home!

I went to lock up the girls last night at dusk and he was in the coop right next to everyone else on the roost.

Awesome....Hurray

.

What do you suppose he was up to?

 

[Illia]

Congrats and I'm so glad to hear of that.

I have no idea... there aren't any other chickens in our neighborhood. Maybe he wanted to go for a walk?
I thought he was a gonner for sure, especially because he was out for an entire night.
I'm glad he's back.

This picture made me just notice his lacing on his chest, I haven't really noticed it as much before.

Jeremy,

So happy for you.

If he didn't have the black in his hackles and the brown in his tail, he would be Show Quality.

Claude is a very beautiful bird.

Thanks Mahonri!
His obvious faults aside, I think he's a pretty decent. I do plan on using him for breeding. I hope that my BW girls will balance out his faults, and their offspring will be that much more beautiful. I like Claude's size, he's a broad boy. Plus he's a gentle roo, he's always been even tempered around me and everyone else.
