What breeding projects are you working on or you want to work on.

Hi,
Nice birds..
I have considered Hamburgs for the same reasons. MPC has/had Blue Hamburgs, which is supposedly the largest of the Hamburg breed.

Me, being a blue fan was very tempted.. (Some day.) For know I am happy with my lines of Blue Ameraucana and Marans.. Some day though I would love to have some hamburgs..

Organics North, what does MPC stand for? I will have to look into the Blue Hamburgs. My favorite color is blue, and the larger size appeals to me.

My Pet Chicken. (A middle man hatchery) I have gotten EE's from them and had a good experience.

Here is the link to the Blue Hamburgs

(Get some..

... Next year I will trade you a couple Blue Ameraucana or Blue Marans for a couple of Blue Hamburgs.)

I thought of crossing an blue Ameraucana to a blue hamburg.. One should get interesting Blue/black/splash "Easter eggers" that lay a small blue egg frequently, and super hardy and independent..

Me too!! My buff-laced-polish are still very young though, so I can't even start on it until next Spring. I'd love to see photos of any you have so far, and what generation they are. I assume it'll take at least 5 years crossing back to the polish roo with the blue-egg-layers of the first cross. I'm planning to use black-ameraucana in the first cross. If you're going for the buff-laced too by any chance (?) then maybe we could swap some eggs over the years to keep a bigger genetic base or something?

Hey, who wasdoing the shizzles? I was thinking about it and I'd be really interested in hatching some of your project eggs. I was wanting to develop a red showgirl line of my own from scratch and some of your shizzles would be so much fun to add to that!

I'll be posting here as to how the project is going...so stay tuned!!!!!

My project: I have a flock of Easter Eggers, beautiful colors and wonderful puffy cheeks but those girlies will NOT go broody for love or money. So I got a beautiful breeding pair of black and blue Cochins who are wondrous parents. I plan to breed some Cochin genes into my Easter Egger flock. Hopefully, we'll get more blue and black introduced into the EE colors and I hope to see more fuzzy feet but most importantly I hope they'll start sitting their own nests so I can keep the incubator filled with just turkey eggs.

LOL, So far so good, right now i have a black gold milli frizzling out, and i think it will be d'uccle ( no beard though)
