I have had such a crazy busy winter/early-spring that I only just this week set up my breeding pens for my blue andalusian-ameraucana project. I am so excited to get hatching! I had not hatched a single chick in one year! Just pretty much spent the last 12 months watching my birds grow out...

Lol... I have spent a couple years following every post on this thread...I have not been able to keep up for a number of months now. But I see I missed nothing! Oh crap... I am gonna get pulled back in just by posting once. Ack! I am such an addict! Lol

Well I missed 19 pages but... nothin new. lol!! Egg color discussions and ameraucana VS easter eggers. Does anyone feel like they are experiencing deja vu?

I am 19 pages behind!!! Didn't think I was gone that long. I will have to catch up later. My email account that all my notifications goes to has been having trouble and without those reminders I finally got out of practice of checking backyard chickens.com. No excuse I know. Lark your eggs...

Thank you for the link! I have visited that thread before but never really studied it. I will subscribe to it.

Thank you so much for that advice! I am printing out your comment so I can refer to it. I also want advice on breeding the andalusians. I have totally fallen in love with them and will keep a flock of pure Andalusian. I need to know the best way to breed these birds to keep them awesome. :)...

@ Twizzlebee ... very nice! I took some pictures today. Here is a pic of a 3 month old blue andalusian. I do believe that this bird has all the pattern genes. And here is a picture of a bird with "edging".. It is going to be a challenge in future breedings to cull hard and...

hahahaha that would be something! A laced silky I know that many blue birds do not have the required lacing. Crazy huh? Maybe just cuz it is such a big hassle to get the lacing in there. lol I have no shows to go to and the chickens are just pure hobby so having a super long term goal fits...

Normally I would totally agree about the splash. And in my future generations I can never use a splash. But these are Tom Roebuck's birds. So I do know what is under the splash... this! lol! Joke It really is cool to see actually lacing. Instead of all the edging that I have...

Well... I just sorted out all my birds in the grow out pen. It was getting a little crowded. I put all the cockerels into a pen and all the pullets into another pen. Here is what I have to start my laced blue project... John Blehm's ameraucana blacks... 7 cockerels and 12 pullets (good...

lol... cute birds! My John Blehm blacks are growing up. Only a couple months old and the cockerels are very nice size already!

Interesting! Yes better pics. Cant make heads or tails of the pic. lol!!

Worst traffic in the country??! Where do they come up with this stuff? Maybe they meant Honolulu... Which is about 5 islands and hundreds of miles away from me. Lol. I can drive for 1 1/2 hours and only see 20 cars on the road. The Big Island is twice the size of all the other islands put...

Me? Lol 5am my alarm goes off and I check messages on my iphone while the coffee brews then kids kids kids. Lol My kids go to a charter school 1 1/2 hours from our house so the day starts early here. Lol

Oh! You joke? Lol :lol:

So what kind of birds were used to get the lacing in them originally? I was under the understanding that no blues had the pattern genes. I have seen pics of beautiful edging but no lacing- pattern genes. I would be very interested in seeing these birds!
