Chocolate/Mauve Ameraucana color project~ BeakHouse

I set my F2 eggs two days ago. (LF)

I should warn you...I will have Choc & Choc Mottled Banty Cochins avail soon!

Stop that!

At least with those I can say, I don't need more bantams eating all the feed. The Ameraucana on the other hand...they are practical...right?

I also have Choc Marans starting to lay...that's going to be so lovely! A Chocolate chicken that lays Chocolate eggs!!

The d'Uccles are coming soon, too- they're adorable!!

Oh I know... I have three coronation Sussex hens doing absolutely nothing... but they are so big and fat that whenever I look at them I say to myself, look at them! They could be meat chickens! How productive!

Of course they won't be eaten, those ones are pets. They are everybody's favorite chickens. We call them the pillow chickens.

There is some of the Australian Coronation Sussex in my Konza project line and they are just HUGE. The hens go broody fairly reliably and yet don't seem to have great successes...have you experienced that, too?

 

[Coopacabana]

Mine have not gone broody yet. I'm not breeding them, it was one of those "how cool let's go get a couple" moments, and I ended up with three hens. The breeder said they are the greenfire farms line.

fingers crossed for a good hatch for you!

I've got another auction up, for an 8-pack. Good luck!!

 

[ChooksChick]

Less than 2 hours left for this last auction. Good luck!!

Rene - sent a PM

Jean - are you working with the Ameracauna "silky" gene also? Or working for standard in non-standard color?
