So, what does that mean then Robin, if I crossed a blue copper with a blue birchen, would I then get copper birchen then?

Ok, got an email back from the lady, her name is Caroline, crystalriversoap... anyway, not here, but just incase you recognise the email name. Anyway, she said she didn't have pictures but could get them for me on Sunday, but said her birds looked a lot like these two from feathersite...

Only that the cockerel has less silver and white than the one posted. If that is the case, then it is a blue and a blue birchen cockerel. So, lets hope that she does send pictures. I would hate to make the drive only to find out they do not look like these guy at all. But oh, how pretty.

They are pretty but I'm not too sure breeding the combination would be a good idea. I would definitely take the copper hen. You do know that blue isn't recognized by APA yet ? But I have lots of them lol. Clean legged and feather legged. I love them all. I have a cuckoo marans roo with silver on his neck like that. I am going to re-home him and a few other marans roos I have.

Hmmm... Going to annoy you a minute, but why not? The breeding together I mean...

Well, because you would be breeding a blue birchin to a blue copper. But if you only want them for eggs, or pets it really doesn't matter. Be some messed up looking chicks though LOL. I, myself , am working on improving my colors and birds for breeding. But like I said, if you only want them for eggs and pets then go for it. I personally would like to see what they come out with hahahaha

Superduper tons of information on the internet about temporal lobe seizures and seizure med resistance in that type of seizure- and a whole bunch of posts of people saying, "why does my doctor say this cyst isnt causing my seizure"

so is it or isn't it? I'm glad she's doing better. I hope your other doc can help you!

Nova - what kind of price are they asking for them?

Evening.

Not much going on here. Was raining on and off all day which was a pain in the booty. Want to get some stuff done outside, but with all the rain and wind it's just not happening.
DH was on me again earlier about reducing our flock. I really don't want to, but he seems to think we have too many. Honestly, when is 45 chickens too many? Hrm.

Mom2, glad the night went good for you and it's good to know you are starting to find better information.

Those chickens are very pretty, btw. Hope the actual ones compare.

Hmm. temporal cysts may be linked to ADHD as well as migrains! http://www.neurology.org/content/48/5/1435

It looks like the docs are split between believing the cysts are an issue with the seizing?

She's wanting 15 for the pair. So, you mean messed up feather coloring? If I were to get them, I'd want to pen them along with a few other hens, wouldn't matter breed, but so the blue hen wouldn't be over mated. But if its going to just turn out to be a mix breed marans with no standard for coloring, whether APA approved or not... Then it would be a waste of energies on my part.
