He really looks like an americauna to me, but is that the one that came from a green egg rather than a blue egg? I found out favacana is a thing, so of course I also hope I have that thing. But the farm that some of mine came from has those breeds so here's hoping. If you look them up it's the...
I think about these questions a lot and I will try to look it up. I just had a similar cross where I was curious if a Barred hen and a roo with no barring produced a chick with a white spot on its head. Maybe you need a picture of that LOL. I just found out that a 20 Page article has been...
That looks like lavender barring for sure. But I'm not as familiar with the wild type/ crele. The pattern on the young chicks could be another clue, for those who know about it. Following for sure. Also be sure to follow me and pm me tons of spam ads with pics of these to remind me to order...
I saw this Roo, and thought it was the most recent picture of yours! but maybe just give him some time😁. I think the barring is popular for fly fishing. And you can really see those pretty long Hackle and saddle feathers in this bird. I read that Dr. Whiting bred them extra tall to accommodate...
Farmhouse of blessings has a WTB crele pen. As well as a BBS color pen. You could look at it over on their site. This roo carries blue. It is interesting with the diluted fuzzy barring. Blue hens this way I observe often have a light silver center to the feathers, but could it be splash?
This one looks like it has a lot of americauna. EEs can really have surprising colors. I had a speckled silver and black one from the feed store before. Blue black splash genetics can also create a surprise splash bird (such as from 2 blue ones, which sometimes look more black.) that splash can...
That would be so interesting. You know his own fly fishing feather company website might have his email on it. Have you gotten on there? it's pretty interesting.
It was still so green last month before the freeze hit. I had my babies out almost every day also.
The one time I needed a boy, for the double blue egg genetics LOL. This will be my third and final time trying to order and hatch them this spring, so maybe I'll get a roo out of the batch this time.
For those who wished for both high yield CLs and autosexing WTBs. 🙋♀️Dr. Whiting is the man with the plan. Even though I love the WTB smooth head streamlined look, with the fantastic feathers.
Ok, I get it because all inherited a bar Gene. It's not like the regular Sex Link cross, it's a female Bard and male plain. Have you figured out how the CL Auto sexing works? I think it's based on light males and dark hens, right? So my understanding is if you want to continue your autosexing...
