Naked Neck/Turken Thread

[Kassaundra]

If I figured it out right, three younger ones have different design then Rudy. Are you trying out two or?

Multicolored girl is beautiful.

I used long sleeved onsies this time and the sleeves are the pants, which are fitted over the onsie securing it in place, and the onsie is stitched a little differently. The larger darker fm boy doesn't have a full onsie, but a shirt tucked in, don't think it will work as well. Rudy has only pants on right now, I need to get him a bigger onsie.

For me, the tidiest looking one is that dark girl. I'm not into sewing, so I am just telling you from other perspective. I saw some of your sewing work here on forum and I think that you are a very good seamstress and you will figure it out easy.

You need a good live trap and a 'possum recipe book. 

Got one he's learned though where it is and avoids it.

I've tried 'possum before, ewwww, to greasey and gross for me.

Took some quick pics, been working on a new design for the clothes, I really like this design so far, but need to see how it wears


I have a few pics of this multicolor girl, wondering what you guys think this color / pattern is going to be, different from any others I've hatched.





Here is that girl again, better shot of the color mix, hard to see in the pic but that is "brown" black and white

Awesome job on the clothes and pictures- especially like the last picture of Rudy struttin' dancin' in his pinks.

I have/had several girls with variants of the similar coloring.

Basically it is wheaten or "quail" with silver gene. The silver gene stops red/gold/brown pigments from going into the feather, making things like silver columbians, light brahmas etc- basically a black/white chicken.

However there are other separate genes that try to put in even more red/brown pigments so it's kind of a battle between silver trying to stop and those genes defeating that attempt to varying degrees.

She will keep that basic pattern for life, they often get darker as they get older though.
