Hi Mumsy! Where have you been?
Ashtree, do you know the background breeding of your little boy?
I am having so much trouble with the mobile version tonight! I had a big response with pictures and poof it's gone! I'll try to post pictures from my computer tonight.
I know that the chick is not pure porcelain. Mom was pure but dad was a blue. So that makes him a split right? And the breeder is here on BYC and is very well known around OK for her show quality birds. She's been raising them a long time but I'm not sure what stock she started with. I will ask tho.
So far I have the 1 porcelain pullet and 1 lavender pullet. As well as some blues, a partridge, and splash. I also some sizzles and a frizzled silkie. I love them all so much. It's so confusing trying to figure out which hens to separate with which rooster. I'm learning more everyday. And glad I have time still to figure it out. A local BYCer just offered me an adult porcelain roo, I'll post his picture after I get her permission. But I think he has excellent type. Not sure on coloring tho, I'd love some feedback. I'll probably get him anyway!
And I'm super confused about what makes a bird partridge vs porcelain. I'm having a hard time telling them apart! Also I may be getting some grey chicks next week, is there anyway I can work them into the projects? I absolutely love grey partridge and can't seem to find any around here, but I have no clue how to work towards them.
