Beware!?!? Horse Crazy Human on the Loose!
I've been breeding various breeds for the last 4 years including Ameraucanas which I started with 2 years ago. I work to breed to the SOP and am a NPIP breeder. I enjoy educating others (and always learning new things myself) on the standard of various breeds and what the birds should look like. So I've decided to learn and right research articles on every chicken breed A-Z and then I hope to go into details on color genetics. I'm learning as I write. My hope would be to eventually write a book...but I will be offering this as a resource on different platforms for free for others to learn from.
The first breed I'm starting with is Ameraucanas, a breed I'm very familiar with and already know the standards for. I am however looking for more pictures to add to my articles.
I need examples of the following if anyone is willing to share, you will get picture credit.
(Defects)
Crow head
Crossbeak (Have pictures now
)
Incorrect eye color
Large or irregular combs
Squirrel tail
Pinched tail
Split wing
Narrow body
Very long or very short legs
Yellow feet
Leakage/brassiness
(Any other common defects we need to look out for please)
And then good typed birds and close ups of the head and good eye color if anyone has...
Or just feel free to share pictures of your birds and I can help you evaluate them, though let me be the first to tell you I am no professional.
I am looking for pictures of Ameraucanas but if you have pictures of the common faults in other breeds thats fine as well.
Thankyou and have a blessed day.
