Muggs, congratulations! That is so exciting!

Pips, I am sorry to hear of that.

Fresh faces this morning. No shortage of cheeks!

HappyMtn, What kind of greens are those?

I have what may be a stupid question, but here it goes..... Is the splash coloring more prevalent in roosters? We just got our first hatch that is very obviously sired by our splash roo (he's the less dominate of the two roosters and I don't think sees as much action as our black rooster). In trying to figure out the sex it occurred to me that I have only seen splash roos.

It's "Lechuga" or little gem lettuce. Kinda like mini buttercrunch. I put a dozen different chicks in the pot and the last one realized "Hey- I can EAT this!"

No- it's pretty evenly dispersed. We just see more pics of splash roos.​

An update; I paid by Paypal, and sent the info sheet as a first time member of the ABC by email earlier this week. Today I found a confirmation of membership [actually received yesterday, now that I think about it] from Michael confirming me as a member. Not only that; but I was still registered on the Ameraucana forum from before it went "members only"............................ so I was able to log on and say thanks!

It took me awhile, too many pots on the fire, plus had to remember the title I had the link under. You may find the entire, ancient research publication by Punnet interesting; as these birds would probably be distant family to those the Ameraucana were later developed from.
