Project: Crested EE

[NagemTX]

Project #2 start. This project started the first time I test hatched eggs from my flock. The concept was there already. It's why I ordered Spitzhauben, Ameraucana and Phoenix from Cackle.

I have four F1 hens out of Spitzhauben x Ameraucana. Project will use two roosters and thirteen hens.

Not sure I'll be keeping the blue F1 in this pen. All F1s lay green, blue green or blue eggs. Will get pictures of all birds in project soon.

*This project has changed its base line of stock. Will now be using Spitzhauben and Ameraucana.

Had to sell the others as projects where getting out of hand and I needed to cut back on birds.
