Will do!

Can you wait until summer? It gets to hot to raise chicks here, so we'll jsut be eating dem eggs.

Sonoran Silkies-- I already name all the Alohas after spices, at some point I will have to get a little more creative

Good ideas from you and Henk

Yep!! How do you think we can introduce white into these blue/reds?! I love the idea of patriotic aloha's(or was is sparkler aloha's?)

and ugh.. too hot to raise chicks.. No thank you!
(we got about an inch of hail then a dusting of snow lastnight... in MAY! crazy winter this year!)

Those little blue-reds already have the white in their DNA somewhere---a good mottled white one would do you some good. I need to get you more eggies. (Henk and SS will have to excuse my bad genetic vocabulary

)

We have had some really neat oddities pop up lately. Ugh--I need to update my web page....

This is a bad pic--she's covered in yogurt. But there is a TON of white on her, and Sommer just hatched a bunch of these cuties.

Where is the chicken calculator I would really love to put in the parents of my rooster to see what it comes up with any help would be appreciated thank you.

belive it belongs to Henk.


Here is one version.

What is an aloha? I know that it is hello and goodbye in Hawaiian, but what does it mean in terms of chickens, lol?

Sonoran Silkies- OH! Aloha attention from a BYC superstar!

Does my hair look ok? *preens for a moment*

It is a mutt chicken we are delevoping (A few AZ people and myself, with some newly-recruited BYCers across the country)

It is an ATTEMPT to re-create the Bloomehonne or the Sweedish Flower Hen. A good-ol fashioned dual purpose bird, that HAPPENS to be a looker (to the chicken lover's eye)

It is a UTILITY bird first-
1-Good layer
2-Decent meat bird
3-Nice temperment & good hardiness
4-A pretty chicken.

We are still in the beginning stages.

I am mostly outcrossing at this point, hence the need for Cinnabun. If I can get a good layer with decent body-size (like an EE) to mate with my smaller-bodies Aloha F3s and F4s, I am a happy camper.

ETA: my little website is in my signature line
