Not yet. He hatched some eggs from then and the chicks came out a weird color. Said he might have to source another silver laced male. They where feathering out a pee yellow with lacing.

That's very nice! Yeah I can't let my two English Silver Laced Orpingtons out with out supervision. The hawks will get them.

Oh no wonder my Cackle ones are nice they are the Blehm lines as well, so are the blues from there.

Depends on the line. I had lavender from Cackle and the girls where skittish as chicks. Now thay are adults they like me much better. The only chicks I had that always came up and where fearless in both males and females were the cochins I got from TSC last year. They still are! I sit down to...

It's the brest feathers. The boys start getting in dark feathers there and the girls keep the light ones.

None of my LF Ameraucana have gone broody this year!

None have showed up as of this evening 5pm central time.

This is one of the reasons I want the silvers.

Yeah, wheaten is yellow or really light yellow fluff.

Yeah that's her. I almost bought birds from her but didn't want non NPIP tested birds or to break the law. I may do that next year if she has what I want or I might take that advice and start my own line.

There are a handful of older breeders in the Ameraucana that breed by that kind of philosophy. They are the ones that worked on standardizing the breed.

Just to highlight the difference between a top breeder in another breed and the Ameraucana Breeders. "If you think you have the patience to raise colored Rosecombs then PLEASE consider making your own strain. It takes a few years (ok, more than a few...it's a never-ending thing...), but you're...

Yup, this is entirely how I feel. Everyone is about easy and not working with what they have but discarding all of it if its not perfect. In no way is that teaching anything to new comers other than never do anything unless its easy and and as close to perfection as you can get. If it has...

Oh I know why. They are the only breed that shows SOP that the body type can be confused with EE. This is because they came from them and alot of the traits in physical form where kept. It's just frustrating for my brain to wrap around their logic because most of them don't know why anymore.

The unofficial Ameraucana Alliance Group. Never in all my life have I engaged with people that think if you breed two pure animals together and you get a color that is not SOP that it makes it another breed altogether or a mutt. The non SOP color is just that, an Ameraucana that is not SOP...

Why do I even bother with the Ameraucana breed groups. I should have fallen in love with a different breed. :barnie

A pretty EE.

Yeah there is not a hatchery that carries true Ameraucana bantams yet. Cackle has the large fowl and they are pretty good quality for starting a flock to work on.

Not really. It was a test on the new incubator and I got a female that looks brown red but on blue instead of black. I might be able to do something I want with that.

Soooo.... the bantams I hatched out from ebay said they could be blue wheaten, blue or lavender. I think these guys where all mixed together so I have Ameraucana EEs now. Sigh.
