I don't think donations are totally necessary, either. I wasn't looking for anything in return, until sidewing got those Davis birds

Hang in there, make friends, kiss a little A if you have to. I have a feeling eggs will find their way to you

And SC got some real AMs.

These are the only 1's I have laying right now. This is Nanny, and I have another named Nana. But I cant find their eggs. They have a hidden nest some where that I can't find for the life of me .

Too cute! What is the tail in upper left corner??

Buff Orpington? Those were my first chickens ever. All of them are gone now, but I loved them. One used to love perching on my head. Her name was Lizzie "Queen Elizabeth"

Nankin bantam...

You rang? 


Me either, but I may have something worth trading in the spring.  I think you are right on the genetics - that's why so many people are disappointed with EE or OE - you need to be sure one parent has two copies of the blue gene or the chances of getting blue/green eggs from offspring goes way down.

The Facebook OE chart uses O for blue and o+ for white.  Good Ameraucana = O/O  Leghorn, Marans or any non blue-green layer)= o+/o+  

So sideWing will have a Marans o+/o+ and an EE o+/O and the offspring will get the 25% chance like Ravyn said!  Brown coatings are a much more complicated issue, for sure.

Now I hear Lurch!!

They're called Nankin Bantams. They are tiny little things. I was trying to post a pic of my 2 roos but my phone is acting stupid.

I forgot how complicated the OEs were with the hets not being visual. This is from the OE Facebook group. Everyone should join it if they like olive eggers.
