Washingtonians Come Together! Washington Peeps

I've got a squatter myself right now. She's about 7 months old. No egg yet!

 

[Tytyvyllus]

Is he the wooly kind?

They're smooth feathered, clean footed, black with red around the neck. The coloration is called "gul o svart" which roughly translates to yellow on black. They are a landrace, so their genetics have lots of variety in them! I'll take some pictures tomorrow when it gets light out. They're 9 weeks old right now.

I think a hatch and swap is a great idea! Or even just an egg swap.

We'll have to compile a list of members who want to participate and breeds available. But I think it is do-able.

My wheaten ameraucana fertility is crap right now and probably will be until spring. I don't hatch many of them anyway and need to work more on them if I want to show them.

There are always fertile partridge silkie eggs here. I just have to keep them away from the hens because there are always partridge silkie broodies as well.

Oh silkies! I love silkies, I can't wait to get some in the next couple years.

This is looking good! I would be able to pitch in bcm and rt or rc araucana for pures then I have a variety of hens to do mixes.. ameracauna, ee, barnevelder, cuckoo maran, welsummer, slw, sf, speckled susex. Other roos I have for crossing are partridge rock and sf x p rock.

I can also do pure or mixed. I have Barbezieux and crossed with orps make fantastic layers and they're super tasty table birds as well.
All together I have Barbezieux, multiple colors of English Orps, Jill Reese's Crested Cream Legbars, BBS Isbars, Lavender Ameraucana, and Seramas.

This has potential for major coolness... I wonder what happens when an aracauna breeds an ameracauna? An ararmaracauna?

I've been told it's technically an EE.

Hmmm, I would have thought it would add some strength to the DNA. Interesting and good to know.
