Thank you everyone for the WONDERFUL pictures!

Shall we start a thread for Quechuas? (I just started on) Here it is...https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/832275/quechua-thread

It can encompass different lines and breeds that would fall into the category.

There already is a thread i started for the Huastecs https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/563559/mapuche-huastec-thread

More pictures.

Just want you to know. I am in love with this cockerel. Olmec I presume. Do you have eggs to sell fertilized by him?

Any of you who have been haunting this posting who have gotten eggs and hatched birds from them: I would be interested in getting eggs or chicks from you in the Spring even if they are crosses between the breeds and not pure.

More pictures. I am not certified and haven't sold eggs, we just, well, eat them. The SA birds I have are all from this year and have not been laying long, and at the moment I do not have them separated out.

Oh that cockrel is GORGEOUS!

He makes me think of the coloring of a Bekisar their ancestor.


Just this one is in purple and white and yours is green, red, white.

   I need a source for Huastec eggs.  Right now all I have is my stunning, icy white rooster that hatched from a beautiful blue egg that I got from Yashars egg order last spring; the remainder of the chicks from that hatch were the standard black variations, and all died.  Every egg order since then has failed to develop.  I do have a black skinned, gray hen with a lovely crest I have in with him, and I'm saving the gray hatchlings.  I got her from ChooksChick/SparkyCrows South American eggs.  I do not know what her variety is called, but she looks a lot like the British 'araucanas'.  She loves the cold and wet weather, and has an extra toe - similar to silkie, but much more functional; she can crawl up a tall fence if she wants to escape it.  Lots of reading leads me to believe they may have originated in The Falklands islands off South America.
   So, I am trying to establish a separate flock of Huastec and the gray birds (maybe a mottled blue is closer to the color, with an occasional darker gray or black feather and streaks of white in some feathers).  My Huastec roo has striking white plumage, and with his adult molt he develop an overlay of pale gold rooster feathering across his back from neck to tail.  He is gentle with us and the hens, and very good with young - helping the moms feed their chicks, but has not tolerated new roosters coming into his yard
