    That and mine have really dark eyes like an owl. 🦉

    The blue egg gene in my Crele project came from Legbar influence. I used a Legbar cockbird in the F1 outcross to bring in the barring gene to work on a Crele Leghorn project line. I am 2 generations in so far.

    Penned up a couple BC1 Crele project pullets split for crests in with the non-crested ones as backup birds. They are all carefully documented and it is obvious which is which. I don’t want to lose them in case the unthinkable happens and I lose the non-crested ones. I won’t use the ones with...

    Mine don't lay before 8-9 months of age. It's annoying. lol

    Super Blue Egg Layer and Prarie Bluebell Egger are proprietary names I believe that some hatcheries have labeled the hybrid cross as. Like Red Star, Comet, Cinnamon Queen are the same basic cross but hatcheries market them by different proprietary names.

    Yes I do believe so! From what I see online, a PBE is an Ameraucana and White Leghorn cross, but I'm sure they can be crossed using any variety of Leghorn like Browns to produce a hybrid super layer. I love a hybrid superlayer. :D

    Thank you, friend! I appreciate the prayers, and I am confident that the right job will come along in God's time so I am trying to exercise patience (not my strongest virtue). I interviewed and turned down further interviews with a practice about week ago, so another one bites the dust. I had...

    The only complaint I have with them is they take longer to start laying than other breeds. Otherwise, I love the way they look and love their blue eggs. I may cross some over Leghorn to increase their egg production as layers, but with blue eggs. The hatcheries call that cross a Super Blue...

    We moved the last two groups of grow outs from the brooder building to the outside brooder today, and culled two roosters in that group. Progress. It feels nice to have the building empty again, even if its just for a few weeks. lol

    Yes news like that is always well received here! My son's Blue/Splash Ameraucanas are laying so we will be collecting those for the incubator soon. They are a fun breed. My husband doesn't like them. He says they look like owls and are "funny looking." You know what they say about...

    I set a clutch of test turkey eggs and some Red Necker eggs on Wednesday. Oh and some White Leghorn eggs for my husband's friend. I'm going to keep what I hatch to a minimum this spring/summer though due to feed costs. I will most likely sell all of the turkey poults that hatch.
