Online CRAZY EGG CHAIN lets play

[WinklerFarms]

Accordibg to the chicken calculator you will get Blue or black and adding my two cents there will be leakage. Now if you cross these offspring you will start to get fun colors.

I sure wish I understood genetics a little better. I bought a book on chicken genetics....made me feel very STUPID. I use the chicken calculator....but still it is pretty basic. Do they make chicken genetics for Dummies???  I would sure buy it. If anyone wants the chicken genetic book I bought, they sure can have it!

Mine for a local 4H member! Sykes!

Offer: 6 UA line White Silkies Bantam ... AND ... 6 Silver Phoenix LF

These were laid late last week at the University of Arkansas Poultry Research Farm. We acquired over 457 eggs of various breeds and these have not been claimed yet. Sykes loves his Old English Game Bantams. So these will be hatched for Sykes. Here is what Dr. Keith Bramwell said about his UA line of White Silkies and Silver Phoenix.

White Silkie, Feather Legged Class, (W) – My birds are very good show quality and have done very well in many shows where I have seen them exhibited. This is an old Oriental breed and is one of the ‘true bantams’ meaning there is no large counterpart to this breed. As mature adults they will be between 2 and 2.5 pounds each so they are one of the larger of the bantam breeds. They have black skin, crest, beard and muffs, feathered legs, 5 toes and the feathering is known as ‘Silkie’ as the feathers lack the barbs and barbules that hold feathers together for the normal shape and texture. This feather structure gives them the appearance of having an external coat of ‘hair’ rather than the traditional looking feather coat. They are excellent setters and seem to want to ‘go broody’ and hatch eggs often. For this reason they are often used as ‘Natures Incubator’ for producers of other more expensive exotic fowl. They generally do not make good ‘yard-birds’ as their eye sight is impaired due to the crest and ear muffs and they are not real agile with any sort of flight virtually impossible.

Silver Phoenix, All Other Standard Breed Class, (X) – One of the best known of the ‘long-tailed fowl’ in the US, these birds have been known to grow tails in excess of 20 feet in their native Oriental homeland, but this takes many years to accomplish. Very few, if any, of the Phoenix in the US will grow tails that will ever remotely approach those lengths. However, these birds will grow tails several feet in length when housed and managed properly, but raising these birds does become a challenge when trying to maximize tail growth and preserve quality. Generally they are raised exclusively for ornamental purposes and not for egg production although some strains have been known to be very good egg producers and will lay an egg white to tinted in color. As mature adults they will range in weight from 4-5 pounds each. Not considered to be a great choice as a ‘yard bird’ as they seem to do better in somewhat confined spaces while still allowing room to move about freely.

No photos are available. However, these have competed well at area shows. 4H/FFA members stand in line for UA hatching eggs. They have done well in both junior and open shows at sanctioned meets. Dr. Bramwell does not ship, so it rare to get any of his eggs directly from him. One must drive to Fayettville, Arkansas to pick them up. To be honest, he gives his hatching eggs away. But he has no OEGB and that is what Sykes adores.

These need to ship today! And will ship today, if someone grabs them fast enough. Am headed to the post office to ship some other eggs later this afternoon. Will need you to PM me your address and an email address for automatic tracking.

Thanks,

Jim

I think I missed something in here. I didn;t see an offer from the Hall Family.

 

[cjwaldon]

me too . . .

 

[crazypetlady]

do you have to actually have to see the offer before you claim it? can you just claim it if you would want whatever they offer.?

Oh, so that's how we're playing now . . .
