Taking three blues to the Indiana Poultry Breeders 59th Annual Show here in Connorsville IN this Sat, Dec 5th I was very happy with Jean's Blue cock I entered at Ohio this past month, thought I'd up the anny and bring this pretty little Blue hen. Hatched last spring in May of 2009. This will be...

pips&peeps : Congratulations! When I went last year I was so disappointed that I did not have any birds with me. I was thinking the whole time I could have done very well. Jean you did do very well. This is from your girls, eggs laid at your place. I put the blame where it belongs. It is...

I bought eggs last spring from Jean. Congrats Jean!!!! Your Blue was the Best today in a field of 5 Blues. Great Blue from a great Ameraucana breeder. Best of Variety Blue Ameraucana at the Ohio Nationals 2011. (He is my number two "Ribbeck" Blue cock, number one is still lookin a bit molted)

Quote: What variety? And IF for free would you pay shippin and the box?

I wish I could say I can train them to stand like that. lololol

Quote: Gorgeous bird! Do you seperate them just for breeding? In this pic they hadn't started to lay. This pic is from last summer. Yes, I separate the two lines I have. I now only have one girl of the three. ONLY cause I have 20 some birds from the two I got rid of. The one I kept has...

Quote: WOW! He is a big beautiful SPLASH from her BBS lines. He should produce some gorgeous babies. Doesn't Jean make great Blues? I love em! Just had two chicks hatch from him and his Blue sis. She too is very nice for conformation. A great tail and decent size. I hope to have some...

I don't know about this fella being a cross of anything. Louis came from Jean's line and hatched in the first week of this year. I like him, he has one droopy wing feather, that is all I can fault him on. His has just had his first two babies hatch yesterday with a nice deep blue Ribbeck...

Quote: Not too much into self blues. IF I do want any, there are many folks who sell. More into seeing IF the little chick grows out and has a Pes Comb. And I am 48, I can wait till I am 60 to decide IF my number 18 pen is no more fun. I have two PURE Ameraunana pens. I just took out...

Quote: I agree, my motto is nothing leaves my yard alive. I end every choice of where my projects go with a hatchet. And IF a friend would want one, tufted turd balls. I won't risk it to anyone to muck up. I have a rare combo of mutt cock. Who is 12 lbs or more. In this pic was taken in...

Quote: THANK YOU!!

Quote: There sure is no doubt that this guy has something going on that is in this neighborhood. I am still learning about this breed and variety. And do appreciate the knowledge of the terminology. I seen some folks here experimenting with their birds and Orpingtons. And seeing that this...

Quote: But I think that is the whole point; if you are breeding BBS, how will you know if you have lavender? I have light blues in my blue rocks that look a lot like lavender; Im not sure I would know the difference if one showed up. And if it did, I sure wouldnt want to incorporate it into...

My first choice is to work on my Blues across the boards. And then Blacks, seeing I only have 2 Blacks Ameraucana chicks from my Blue breeders outta 20 some chicks so far. And they have to grow out. One is a girl. Other is too young. If I had one who could see I would put my Black male on...

I never had a reason to become a self blue projecteer too, in either my Orps or my Ameraucanas. I just had some weird birds pop out of a test hatch I had and was told by one he was a self blue. And another chick from the same duo has tufts and looks like he may grow a beard. And at such a...

Quote: I read here in the US, the APA call the lavender variety is termed "self blue" and in the UK they call them Lavender. And if both are shown in the same show at an APA event, their lumped together and judged against each other. Yes, lavender and self blue are the the same color. It...

Quote: That usually seems to be terminology used by someone that doesn't know for sure what they have, a lavender or a splash... I read here in the US, the APA call the lavender variety is termed "self blue" and in the UK they call them Lavender. And if both are shown in the same show at an...

Is there such thing as a Lav Splash? I read somewhere someone asking that question.

Yvonne37894 That is what I am told. The father has the gene and the offspring hen should have it too. Tking them together should produce Lavs and Blacks I think. I would do it anyway. Got nothing to loose. If you already know you have one with the gene. But I am no expert. And prolly...
