The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

Some roosters don’t take to new girls? It seems my orps would take everyone but I have seen my SFH run off new girls. He is kinda of jerk. He is always posturing to me. He has not attached but I keep stick with me to fend him off.

Some are very picky. Isaac did not care for the barred girls. Atlas doesn't like certain ones. Hector has been known to flog them rather than flirt, especially if they don't submit to him immediately. Bash is more likely to take any girl in front of him.

All so different personalities.

I have some beautiful chickens growing up. My lavender Americauna from sandhill are very nice. The blue jersey giants are nice also. Trying to separate out all the boys. Still hard to tell on some.

I really don’t know what breed it is lavender Americauna?

 

[1muttsfan]

Neither of those birds are lavender

So the other option in a blue jersey giant but the comb isn’t correct.

It's a blue Ameraucana, not lavender.

Agree with both ladies, not lavender. The one on the right is a blue Ameraucana male.

Remember the friend that was going to Disney with her family, and they all piled in on me? Well, she called today. She wanted to go to her brother's for Thanksgiving, but can't because of her husband's dialysis. He can get dialysis in Tampa, so she's coming to Tampa instead, for Thanksgiving. She would love to visit with me. First words out of my mouth were, "where are you staying"? Well, she's not sure. Pregnant pause....(I know she was waiting for me to offer, but I was NOT about to), then she said she might be able to stay at her ex's house. She thought he and his girlfriend might be going to Miami, and they could stay there while he was gone. Her ex is her current husband's brother, so it's not so unusual. Just so it's not here.
