Dispatched all the ameraucana chicks as they were skittish and they are making my project chicks skittish and I really hate ameraucanas cant even sell the adult hen so shes going to freezer camp along with the chocolate hen and the lavender hen and the blue laced red rooster the chocolate and the silkie roosters joining them as im done with chocolates and dont need the blrw roo anymore will keep the blrw hen and try to sell her if not she can live with my mixed pen. And if i have a better looking silkie wont need the other one then. Need to downsize a bit cant keep every single one and I have pens with literally one male in each and its getting to be to much. Because these males dont get along so gonna just focus on my project line and my other blrw roo rest can go

I wont be hatching those anymore as they were aggressive and was biting me i just dispatched a hen last week because it did the same thing all have the same mother so must be genetic so wont feel bad processing the mother next.

The sister to the laced rooster above, she was hatched 1-20-21 gonna breed her in the spring then sell her as shes not mottled either. View attachment 2877616
My chocolate split rooster will be processed I ended up using his brother to get a chocolate cockerel he was hatched 1-31-21 View attachment 2877634
F7 Beablette she was hatched 2-11-21 not sure If I want to keep her as shes pretty skittish she is Beabras and a blue Ameraucana Chick I might breed her to Mr Cheeks then sell her not sure yet View attachment 2877613 My F7 lavender splits Hatched 2-11-21 gonna sell the hen and eat the rooster once I hatch a lavender with a rose comb View attachment 2877614View attachment 2877615Black Copper Maran got her from tsc 2-26-21 gonna breed her to an olive egger rooster then prolly sell her as shes very skittish View attachment 2877620
Chicks hatched 4-12-21 this one I'm gonna prolly keep as shes mottled with a rose comb View attachment 2877612
This hen im gonna keep prolly because I wanna breed her to a chocolate wyandotte rooster to get chocolate easter eggers she is a chocolate wyandotte hen x Mr Cheeks offspring the hen was processed as she had ascites or was internally laying and this was the last egg inside her View attachment 2877611
This pullet I'm gonna sell as all my breedings to make tolbunt wyandottes all I did was recreate a ss and shes getting picked on badly by beablette and the maranView attachment 2877610

Keeping these ones my chocolate cockerel as i need him for my chocolate hens View attachment 2877641
This pullet as shes my F3 hens chick and might wanna breed her to the chocolate male to get a chocolate laced hen View attachment 2877643
This pullet as shes looks to be a blue mottled hen View attachment 2877646
Not sure if I wanna keep these ones

This black pullet as I really dont need her but could use her if i hatch a lavender rooster so debating on this one View attachment 2877648

This mottled rooster as he has a single comb but hes very friendly View attachment 2877618

Last are chicks hatched 9-17-21 only keeping the first two olive eggers I'm pretty sure I have a pair View attachment 2877750View attachment 2877751Dont need this one due to the single combView attachment 2877753
This one because its splash View attachment 2877752
Or this one I hatched for a friend looks like a pullet I dont need it and they wanted a male View attachment 2877759
So this is my entire chicken flock some staying some going some will be breeders etc whatever pullets dont sell will be processed aswell I can't seem to even give away pullets because everyone dumps their birds off at the end of the year just to go buy cheap tsc in the spring.I don't get it but whatever they will fill my freezer as I dont wanna waste them and most of my chickens are for food until I make the perfect flock which will have a lavender and a tolbunt wyandotte in it. I feel no one really is this invested in chickens like I am. So if anyone wants to follow along I will update this as time goes on if not I still will update this as will make a nice journal for me. As my line goes back quite a bit can do backgrounds on certain birds as well if anyones interested.

Just wondering why you don’t want single comb chickens? Your birds are gorgeous I would love to breed birds to look beautiful but I can’t sell any they are my sweet little pets and I love them so much!
