If you decide you might like to work on a project color,let me know.I have Some Golden Barred project birds I'm working on. I get 3 colors,and almost perfect mating.I am getting Golden Buff,Golden Barred,and Barred babies.Might let go of some of the eggs for hatching.

I have white,black,partridge,splash,blue and lav.

Silkies???!!!!!​

Im kind of an amateur with the project stuff. I do have a few BCM roosters that Im crossing with Ameraucana hens to get some of the olive eggers, but as far as working down through multiple generations to get a specific variation, I wouldn't know what to expect or where to begin. It does sound very interesting though. I'd like to see some pics of what you have been able to achieve. As far as eggs, I love to hatch em and I have a GQF sportsman incubator that will hatch good for me every time as long as the eggs are viable.

Here are a couple pics.The roo himself isn't show quality,but once I acheive the color I'm looking for I will work more on the style.

I have a big cabinet incubator. It is the size of a piece of furniture and pretty much will have to go by the television in the living room .... sigh.

Oh wow.... Yeah I don't think that's gonna fly!!

Yeah,they don't socialize with the 'common folk'.... They're the cool kids....lol.... Their loving their new coop.I think they flew around it for 20 minutes before they finally calmed down.The lattice on the main outsides really helped cool it down for them.Now I just gotta get the roof put on my other 3 pens and get the next set of babies out there...

I think the crele and the Mille Fleur ones look pretty neat but if I cant get those then the other color variations are also very nice.

I am getting some Golden Duckwing American Game Bantam chicks next month. I was going to buy a pair, but I got a much better deal on the chicks! I'm really excited to get them.

I love your pitbulls. They look soooooooooo beautiful!

The only reason that Queen is a chicken hater is because Queen can't fly and the chickens can. She is just jealous. She doesn't really hate them.

Lol! I knew there was a reason, because she is a really sweet dog.
