Anyone know what color these Barnevelders are? I know the lighting isn't great but there are 12 the same color huddled together and then 1 is the light one on the left. It has grey wing feathers starting. Diane Shook Mcdonald do you have a guess?

The silkied ameracaunas haven't hatched yet but I will be sure to post pictures on here when they do! The lady I got them from on here had pictures up and they are blue/black/splash and look like regular ameracaunas but they have soft feathers like the silkies. I don't think they are an actual cross of a silkie and an ameracauna. I've never had ameracaunas before so i'm really excited to get some different colored eggs as well They are due to hatch in about a week and a half!

Silkie Ameracaunas are pure ameracaunas that have been selectively breed so that the hookless gene is expressed. At least those are the silkie ameracaunas I got they where ebay eggs from a breed in North Carolina.

have to smile because mine hatched over the weekend and i'm trying very hard to see if any are showing blue yet! the light one could be buff? I didn't get a buff hatched, but it would have been a long shot anyway. Per Chad, the blue won't show until they start feathering out a little. buff is splash, and if you get one it increases the odds of blue offspring

You know I have a story about these Diane, you're not going to believe it.

When I contacted him about purchasing them I asked if the chicks were blue, he told me yes. You know I don't know how his pens are set up at this point, so i'm thinking he has a splash in there with a blue to get all blues, and he told me YES. I got the chicks and since they looked like they were all black and brown I emailed him and asked what chicks he sent, he replied a mix of stuff. Turns out Chad had some other breeder send me chicks.

I wanted chicks from Chads champion Roo, I really paid for them too. There are a lot of lies tangled up in my purchase it seems.

Oh yes that is a buff, that was confirmed. After talking to Chad the first time I was upset I was told they were blue as I am not really crazy about the regular barnie colors, but I was ok with it. Then 10 min after I hung up with Chad I get a call from this guy who tells me he is the one that sent me the chicks, he was pretty insulting really. I had to stop him and say wait a minute, you mean you bred and sent me chicks not Chad. Yep he did and after I was on the phone with chad for at least 30 minutes and he was explaining to me that he had all his colors together and did not have a blue pen. He never spilled the beans he did not send me the chicks. I emailed him after I get a call from Doug and then Chad called me back and told me yes he did have someone else sell me the chicks. The way I understand it Doug bred Chad's champion roo. I am still a bit peeved about this entire situation.

Especially the cocky attitude Doug had with me. It's like they do not see the problem with this deception in the least. Chads roo is gorgeous that is true, but chad has 3 hens and that roo. He told me his is battling Cocci in his flock as well.

oh and BTW the CLB eggs have been set for a while of course, I tried candling but they are too dark for my light. Very excited about them, thanks so much.

Okay that's what I kind of thought just didn't know how to word it haha! I am so new to all the genetics part of chickens and it all confuses me a lot! Thank you!

Anyone have any Orloffs?

Farmers only worry during the growing season, but towns people worry all the time.
