Hi and thanks for the welcome.
I will download some photos of my birds. I have some lavenders on day 8 in my incubator from Harry, some blue wheatens/wheatens from Doug D, and some blue/blacks from several breeders, including a really beautiful roo from Geareduplyn.
I\'ll post later.
These birds are great for Maine, where it has many days well below zero, before the windchill is factored in. Their combs don\'t get frostbite like my Marans.
I visited someone with Spangled Russian Orloffs last week and thought how neat it would be to make a spangled Ameraucana as their body types are a bit similar. I know some folks are working on various colors, including mottled. I am too new to breeding to embark on something like this. But am partial to mille fleurs and spangles. (I have d\'uccles and Brabanters, as well) I would also love to see a lemon blue.
I may use my brabanters to work on a spangle ameraucana, just for fun. But am truly humbled when I read about some of you folks who started breeding back before these birds were approved by the APA.
Oh I raise LF, but have been tempted to order some bantams from John, or Sara. My 3 kids prefer bantams, so I may do this next year.
