The "Ask Anything" to Nicalandia Thread

[3KillerBs]

Well I asked “The Google” and it took me to the Ameraucana Alliance forum I was just on haha. It is a real genetic thing and can be passed on! Super interesting! Thanks, I just needed the right word to use!

I have a Gypsy-Faced Blue Australorp and people accused her of not being an Australorp at all.

Apparently it's more common than people realize, though a flaw in a show bird.

shhh. If the politically correct hear you calling a chicken "gypsy face" they will want to change the lingo.

Would this boy be considered Pumpkin, Buff, or Gold? I see zero red on him, he's not rusty red either.

Pumpkin

Wouldn’t using silver ameraucanas be faster?

Not at all, it's actually the same amount of time since a Back Cross to 55 Flowery is required anyways.

What cross is that one?

Probably a Jersey Giant mix, I got these guys from a friend of my dad's who's broody was killed by a dog.

I wasn't given a clear list of breeds, all they said was Buff Orpingtons, Jersey Giants, & Bantams.

How come you can keep so many chickens? Have so many breeding projects and have time to post here?

Pumpkin

Really? Nice. I may keep him for that coloration.

Most of these chicks we received are boys, so they're gonna get eaten when old enough.

I have alot of chickens for breeding purposes, food, & eggs for us, & selling.

Some of the breeding projects I'm holding off, so I can finish the first couple.

How come you have so much time to post here every day and very often?

I'm here all the time, & have the time between each thing I do in the day to post.

I find the the time to post.

Yesterday I didn't have that much time though, just alittle bit in the morning, then I had to weed the garden out half the day with my sister, then we butchered turkeys. Later I was able to post again yesterday.
