John, I\'m seeing head spots on your buff chicks. I thought you had been culling for that for some time now. Does this change your e-locus theory? For what it\'s worth, I crossed buff with partridge (in Chanteclers) and the chicks do have a semblance of striping and head spots.

Ahhhhh, too cute !!!! Lucky owner....

No. I hadn\'t noticed the \"head spots\" before. Here is another shot of those same 5 buff chicks, from the side. The majority of buff chicks still don\'t turn out looking this good. Maybe next year...
I think what we are seeing on the heads is the same marking as most wheaten chicks. Since they are both wheaten based, the black line, spot or mark that the wheatens have may be a darker shade of buff on a buff chick (?). The camera flash made it stand out.

Oh, you\'re killing me! They\'re beautiful chicks. I have just a few Lavender X Black-Lavender split eggs due to hatch this weekend that I put in with some Marans eggs, and I can hardly wait.

I am seriously considering selling most of the other breeds I have and concentrating mostly on the Ameraucanas from now on. I have a terrible fever, and I think I caught it here!

Wow, talk about some serious \"eye candy\". Love \'em. Can\'t wait to get mine!

They\'re beautiful!! Wish they were headed to NC in stead of NY!

John,
Those silver chicks are spectacular. Do you have a mold?

Harry,

We are making progress with the LF silvers (and the other varieties too). The muffs are fuller and the combs are smaller than a few years ago.

John,
The other chicks are also very nice, it is just the photo of the silvers really caught my eye. You always do such a great job breeding all the varieties of the Ameraucanas.
