Chocolate/Mauve Ameraucana color project~ BeakHouse

[ChooksChick]

Quote: My birds are entering their molt, half-naked, or broody- so it will be mid-October before anyone gets going again. Check back with me and I'll happily provide whatever I can!

The new roo over the group is a Blue (very dark Blue) Silkied fellow, and thus all chicks will be splits. I'm hoping the Black hard-feathered fellow I have growing out (split to chocolate) will be ready to go soon, as I'd like to split him out with the Choc hens for a little bit.

I'm selling everyone off, so eggs will only be available as long as I own the birds. Let me know if you're interested in some adults. Message me to get a quicker answer, as I'm on infrequently right now!

Cheers!

Kinda late into this discussion but i would like to get some chocolate/mauve babies/ eggs. My birds are ee but breeding for a specific body type, personality, color (blue birchen) I have been working the last couple years to get the right birds for this project. (Mauve) Temperament is # 1 so took time to get the right roo.

Are any of you near MI?

I'm In MO. Working on silkied Choc/mauve Ams. I do have a couple pens that can produce choc/mauve, can produce silkieds, splits or straight feather as breeders are splits. But not a pen of nothing but guaranteed
. Everybody is still on strike at the moment but that will change.

Are the silkies the same as regular silkies? I am primarily interested in getting the chocolate in as i have the blue; any hatching eggs carrying chocolate would do. I wanted to keep the beards. I am hoping that some of the pattern remains intact? Either way they are beautiful.

My birds are coddled pets- i have intentionally kept the numbers down since i only free range with supervision. No crowding! My keepers represent the best of temperament.

(Same birds better light)

(Same hen twice to show the birchen tabs on her feathers) the other hen is a recent purchase who has the body type of my original project- wide short back. Full butt fluff, between the wings very fine feathering almost silkied and the wings carried high and short and blunt. I want to create a seperate type of unique bird

One of my originals, lost the mother at 2 to heat stroke and her daughters this summer one in the beginning and one at the end of summer to eating straw.
(funny round gold one)

Silkieds not silkies. Ams with a recessive feather mutation popped up. Has nothing to do with Silkie breed - ever.
Peeps had a hard feather choc line a while back but moved on. A few people had eggs hatch from that but no telling if they still have them or if they are still around.
I have a blue roo split for silkied and choc in a pen with 3 mauve/splash girls. Getting mauve boys as well as girls - just not silkieds together with that which is what I;m breeding towards.
So those I hatch of either choc/mauve or silkied I'm keeping for my project at this point. But some eggs I can let go, or splits not showing either but can be carrying. Pullets either show or are not choc/mauve.

I still have chocolate ameraucanas.....................

Ohhh NIce! I thought I saw you say you were done with them! You're best to take care of what she's looking for and I could go for a small batch myself!

Any good pictures of the silken ones? I am intregued

Any one of you come spring i am gonna be begging, i have been patient for a few years

now but it is time!! I am really excited to move foreward. I have seen pics of chocolate with red "bleed through" and i really liked the warmth. Since blues throw black and splash, i figure those birds would simply be chocolate? A win-win.
Here is a pic from today of my new hen that shows the fullness and length of the feathers i an breeding toward; these are smaller hens more silkie sized as well, full grown. My downside is that being mutts the girls din't have the double copy beard genes so their beards are smaller than i'd like.

I would be interested in any of those combinations but especially the silkied chocolate. I just started both my silkied and my chocolate Ameraucana projects.

I would be very interested in eggs from you.

I again am very interested in eggs. i LOVE my silkied AM and I have L3 Chocolates. I am in AZ.

I swear, I'm about ready to feed the girls pepper cakes to get them laying again. Talk about a break! - But feathers are filling back in and they are plumped up and have to be about ready to get to cranking again.. I'll post when they start again.
