DANG IT JIM  ! ! ! !  Ya coulda played along a bit.     

 It was a thousands years ago...and I was not "making" EEs...didn't do that til this year.
I did "make" OEs back then.....do they lay a Olive Egg ?
If so, they are OEs, if the egg is blue, yes they are pure bred Ams from Cree.

Speaking of making EEs, I've got four of my cousins half-AM young'uns in the yard; they figured out I'm not fast enough to catch them! One is a big dark blue pullet who looks like she's AM X Aus, one is little and looks as if she's maybe from a hen who was descended from the OEGB I used to call Teeny Little Super Guy (blue gold duckwing); The other two are splash cockerels, one of which I'm getting anyway, although if they don't stop eating all the sheep's grass I may just lock up all four of them. I'll try to take a photo tomorrow if things settle down.

Cr, It looks to me like the Salmon Fav may be a golden Duckwing coloration...but not positive

Go down til you see the golden duckwing & compare the color pattern to the salmon fav

It is a color that can be on many different breeds.
Example, I have several breeds that are Black Breasted Reds, one is Wellsummers, another BBR is Partridge Chantecler (or any partridge breed such as Partridge Cochins, or Partridge Rocks)
Hope this helps you understand.

Yes I know DW is a color. Just not sure that he is considered DW.

Salmon is wheaten based, not duckwing.

Also, salmon is closer, genetically, to a silver duckwing, but still not a duckwing. Here, you can see all the differences in silver duckwing, and salmon, side by side:

Next week sometime - mid week. Give me some time to recover from the half marathon. And, yes, I'm gone this weekend. I asked hubby what he was going to do if they hatched before I left and he said "Take care of them". LOL! He wasn't around when the other three were new - he has no idea what he's in for.

Right! but you know that there are lots of people who don't do that, and they get the snots!! I've heard it from other goat showing people too! That was the point I was trying to make, not everyone is conscientious or careful.

Well see in our area there was show staff to check every goat before it was unloaded.That's how you reduce the risk of spread of disease .

So, what's extremely cheap and easy to clean that we can put in the bottom of the new coop to make the hens more comfortable? They're going to be spending a LOT of time in there until they break their habit of roosting in the tree.

I use pine bedding. I scoop it every morning so it stays clean for them. Otherwise they'd be hanging out in poop.

OK... you guys are talking a lot. Sometime I'll try to catch up, if I can.

Have a good day everyone.
