The NEW Crazy 24hr AUCTION thread

[pips&peeps]

Silkied Ams are not crossed with Silkies. As far as I am aware and have read, some actually carry the same genetic mutation and popped up naturally. How would they not get accepted if they are from pure Ams to begin with and breed true? And again, they are not EEs. And they were correctly labled. Someone just got snarky over nothing.

ETA:
It's like me advertising my Wheatens as Ameraucanas when clearly wheatens in Ams came from Faverolles and still do not show the correct coloring! They may be accepted, but they don't fit the color description at all! I guess mine are EEs, too.

They are a cross with something, there have been silkied birds hatch with yellow skin. The pictures were posted on the silkied thread and I pointed it out a couple years ago. I have never seen pure blue, black or splash with yellow skin, the varieties are too far along.

Wheaten ameraucanas were not derived from Fav's. They were derived from OEG's; they made the bantams first and then bred up to large fowl. This is fact, as I just asked Mike Gilbert last weekend what was used to make them because I was trying to figure out where the striping in the hackles is coming from. Mike Gilbert made them.

This is a pretty cool discussion

and I'm not meaning to stir the pot at all or anything, but wouldn't it make more sense to have it on an ameraucana thread?

Thanks dretd I am travelling from Colorado Springs to Phoenix next week for a class, and just thought if someone in the area had eggs to sell I might be able to pick them up and save shipping costs, but I am NPIP certified (just had my annual testing a few weeks ago) - I asked them about buying hatching eggs from non-certified breeders at the time, and they said I really should only buy from certified breeders. No biggie, just a thought that flitted through my head.

This is a pretty cool discussion

and I'm not meaning to stir the pot at all or anything, but wouldn't it make more sense to have it on an ameraucana thread?

except that this discussion directly relates with an auction that was posted, for chocolate/mauve silkied ameraucanas, and whether the color would ever be accepted/approved.

that's why I will continue breeding my EE's. no argument there what flavor they turn out to be. some may even carry the silkie gene, as my roo is 1/4 silkie. LOL but what I can predict is that roughly half of my chicks will be crested and some have feathered shanks.

interesting side note, one of my older EE girls also has feather stubs on her legs. noticed it when she broke a leg earlier this summer, and noticed again when the other leg also got broken. (because a certain hen hasn't learned her lesson about stealing food from blind horses that can't see where they are going!) first leg healed great (3 weeks in hospital cage & another 6 weeks in a smaller breeding pen), so she got turned loose to free range again. that lasted about 3 weeks. unfortunately my hospital cage is currently occupied by another victim of my blind horse (his foot) so she's in one of the baby pens with a 'motherly' bantam cochin and some half grown chicks (cochins and ee's).

Mine came from Favs - mine did not come from Mike Gilbert. I also do not have striping on my birds hackles. The breeder knew where her birds came from. I did have wheatens come out with yellow skin and leg feathers. Unless you know where the bird came from yourself, you can't say for sure. If the bird was bred to a Silkie, you wouldn't have yellow skin anyways. Black x White skin does not equal yellow.

I have 2 auctions.

But first off all my birds are NPIP and AI free. I have them tested every year. I do my best to package the eggs the way I would like to receive eggs so they have the best chance of hatching and not getting broken in the mail. I can not be responsible for any damage while they are in transit.

My packing methods are as follows

6-9 eggs go in a small 7x7x6 priority box. I individually wrap each egg and set them upright in a thick nest of shredded paper. I'll use the large bubble, bubble wrap if I have it available. I surround the eggs with shredded paper and on top of the eggs so they fit snug in the box to avoid any shifting. Again if I have the larger bubble wrap available I will use that instead or with the shredded paper.

10 - 36 eggs will go in the large priority box. Again if I have the large bubble wrap I will also use it in the packing part. Each egg is bubble wrapped and placed in an egg flat cut to the amount of eggs being shipped. Another egg flat is placed on top and fitted so each egg is in a cup in the lid. Depending on how many eggs are being shipped I will either tape the 2 flats together or if I have the large bubble wrap I will wrap the bundle in those and tape it closed. I either put a thick layer of shredded paper or use the large bubble wrap and sometimes both to make a soft bottom for the egg bundle. I surround the bundle with shredded paper to avoid any shifting of it during transit. I also put a generous amount of shredded paper on top so the flaps lay down easy on the bundle but hold them snugly.

Onto the auctions:

Auction 1 12 Sizzle hatching eggs from mixed color flock. All the hens and pullets are frizzled and the roo is a white silkie.

Auction 2 6 SQ Splash Silkie eggs Starting bid is $10 with shipping at $13. Auction ends monday 10/14 at 7pm central time. Please pay promptly so I can get the eggs mailed tueaday.
The roo has been shown twice since I've had him. He is from Bobbi Porto stock. Pics of him with his ribbons are below. The hens are also SQ but have been breeding and brooding all summer so they don't appear as fluffy in the pic. The splash pullet has just joined the breeding pen and she is laying. She has also been shown and that pic is also below. She is the result of the current splash's that I have. They always turn out very nice and other owners of splash's from this pen have shown theirs as well.

Prince came from Bobbi Porto stock


His first ribbon (it was a windy day)


His second ribbon


Princess the pullet with her first ribbon

One of the other hens with foster chicks from the sizzle pen

The other hens freaking out because one of the babies was on the outside of the run.
