Project: Crested EE

[NagemTX]

She does have a blue egg test that was in development and I believe it is now available! I am planning on getting that done from her in the future.
@TheSilkieLab correct me if I’m wrong! If she sees this message, I am also wondering if the blue egg test differentiates between one copy of the blue egg gene or two copies. I know the lavender color test does but I’m not sure if it’s possible with the egg color test.

The lab in Florida can differentiate between o . O and O . O for the blue egg gen.

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.

Rooster #1 Black Crevecoeur - Cirrus Thunder
Rooster #2 Lavender Ameraucana - Cumulo Nimbus

Hen #1 Black Crevecoeur
Hen #2 Lavender American Orpington
Hen #3 Lavender Mottled American Orpington
Hen #4 Lavender Ameraucana
Hen #5 Lavender Ameraucana

Going to worm everyone on Monday. The silkies are losing weight or cat gain it. They eat fine but some butt's are poop and I went to clean them and they are skinny. So two days of being cooped up with safeguard in the one water.

Update to this project and the Longtailed EE project. Both of these projects will come together at some point to make the Crested Longtailed EEs that I want.

Out of the eight eggs I started number 2 and 3 where not fertilized. This is a shame because number 3 was what I was hoping for. Its a nice turquoise color.

Thank you for this! I do indeed now have the Blue Egg gene tests available and you can find that here: https://thesilkielab.com/product/blue-egg-gene/

The test can tell between one or two copies of the gene! We also offer a Recessive White and a the Lavender Test All three will tell you if your bird carries zero, one or two copies of each gene. Please feel free to reach out if anyone has any questions!
