Blue Andalusian thread!

[Lund Poultry]

have you gotten any of your birds from Butch Gunderson? He is in Wisconsin and had some great quality birds. Let me know and I can get his info if you need it.

here a few more helpful links
Genetics page by KazJaps

and Mr. Henks chicken calculator
http://kippenjungle.nl/kruising.html

here is an example using the genes that make up the Andalusian Blue(you can try different genes to see how different they look)

if you need help let me know

Do you have the actual book or just use what is found on line? From what I could find the book isn't currently available for purchase


If you were to try and bring in the Co gene for better lacing what breed would be ideal to use?

I bought a trio from a local friend on the boards, sewandgrow. I love these birds! So pretty, and so different from my Wyandottes.

this thread does seem to move slower than most! Have you checked with Okiehen- she might be able to help you out and probably would be closer.

I have two blues on the way for an early april delivery of 12 chicks. I'm so excited, really hope at least one is blue.
