Cluckcluck42,
When I have a plan set up for the website, I'll post it here. I want it to be very focused and have the best photo's possible and information with links to other sites where appropriate. I'll probably have a page with scenarios for breeding to improve correct combs, leg and feathers, etc. I won't go into detail on color genetics but I will post links to sites with the information that is relevant to that page.
I'll probably work it out on paper before I set up a site. I want to be able to "see it on paper" then I can figure out how to set it up online. I'll have to so some footwork tracking down and verifying information too. I think the main thing I want to see are photo's. Good, clear photo's with good closeups for detail that you can usually only get looking at your own birds.
I love to take pictures of mine.
Another issue just brought up about adding other breeds like Ameraucana's into the flock interested me too. I have 2 glossy, solid black pullets from my roosters Rudy and Degas and a black purebred Ameraucana hen. One has Huge tufts (Degas's baby), totally rumpless but has the faintest little bit of muff's that finally were visible with more feathers coming in and less chick down. She is perfect other than that, so much so that I was convinced she had to have been out of my only Araucana that actually just started laying this fall. I have another one just like her, an older pullet most likely out of Rudy, that is clean faced and no sign at all of a beard or muff. Both of these pullets have yellow skin, the soles of their feet are mottled with mostly dark yellow and a little black and legs are black. The eggs they were out of were gorgeous, bright, light blue so I will be putting these two pullets in a separate pen with the best tufted/rumpless black rooster I can find for them this spring. I will cull hard for egg color, feather color/legs, type and all that, I will keep the best pullets and breed back to that rooster for a few generations. We'll go from there. I have a great feeling about these two pullets, they are really good with substantial bodies and not a whole lot to have to correct. If anyone has a rooster to fit the program, I'm looking. I won't sell from that pen until I have at least the 3rd generation and they are as consistent in producing type as my purebreds are. Mine are all Large Fowl.
Here is the youngest black pullet, with the amazing tufts. They are so nicely balanced and thick. She kept sticking her nose in the corner the last time I tried to take pics of her. Black chickens are amazingly difficult to photograph
I want some new blood in my flock.
