The EE lays green eggs. There were no green eggs in the bator...the plot thickens

I think I saw in that last explaination that it WAS possible for this black pair to produce a blue...?

New camera is supposed to come in the mail this week. Until then i can not get you a picture. HHmmm

Black is not dominant in this case. If you have one copy of the blue gene you get a blue, two a splash. So black cochins do not carry a recessive blue gene. If it was there, they would be blue. It is an incomplete dominant.

Lavender or self-blue is different. It is a recessive gene. If a black carries one gene they are still black carrying the recessive. two copies of the lavender gene turns a black to lavender or self-blue. A true dominant/ recessive pattern. Hope this makes sense. I'm new to chicks, but I LOVE genetics. dak

ok, I am in the process of buying a trio of birds. I have never done this and have no idea how to quarantine(I will do a search here) these since my flock free ranges
hmm.png
I don't know how it will be possible to keep them away from the new birds pen, any ideas? I am waiting for the seller to get back to me to finalize

after the whole debackle with the dun birds this is a nice opportunity(although not dun

). As far as the dun goes, I had ordered some chocolate(dun) oegb eggs from Natures Hatchery which was the only place I found with them. I got a call a few days after ordering and they are out for the year

right now I have mille fleur d'Anvers and spangled orloff eggs in the hatcher and have some golden lakenvelder and blue andalusian going in today. I love my ameraucana and needed black for my projects but I have to say it will be nice to see some other colors in the brooder finally

s & c birdfarm, Terry. He sells some breeds on auction here, but I haven't seen him list these. I went straight to his website and ordered from there. I ordered 6 orloff, got 8 and 7 made it to the hatcher

same with the mille fleur d'Anvers, ordered 12(got 14 I think) and 13 made it to the hatcher(one is iffy). Hope the hatch goes off without a hitch, I have 1 mille fleur out and a few pipped right now, the banties seem to have such an easier time than the lf.....
 
Oooo good luck! I hope everybody hatches!

I got 6 Orloffs from Shelley. 5 out of 6 are developing. I got a hatchery Orloff from Ideal, and while a wonderful pet and a real character, she lays almost bantam sized eggs, and she is a BIG gamey looking bird. So I figured I needed some Orloffs.

Do you have an Orloff project in the works?

I haven't ever seen an Orloff picture on his website. Hm. I might need to email him to see if he has one.
 
yeah, I haven't seen his orloffs, just hoping for the best. I have seen his other breeds and they were nice....
The eggs I got from him were good sized, I wouldn't be surprised if the chicks are twice the size of the banties....
I will post pics when they hatch, of course we truly won't know how their spangling is until they feather out

I was debating making a spangled ameraucana but the calculator shows it ain't easy, so I might do a side project with them, I just think they are cool looking
