I am looking for a serious breeder who is interested in helping to develop our mottled variety. Some of you may know of my constant trouble with predation, well last year a racoon (we caught and disposed of the eveil creature and evil he was!) chewed through a wooden door and killed one of my main breeding roosters, Domino. Luckily I had been hatching quite a few eggs and Evan & Joseph have fully mottled Domino sons so the line is not lost. Now I would like to place a trio of Dominos with someone as insurance from loss, but also as this trio is ready to start developing a strong \"Domino\" line. The cockrel has been outcrossed to a completely seperate Ameraucana lines, so should be geneticlly diverse enough to bring back to the pullets.
With my AWA certifcation, AWA, I canot ship so they will need to be picked up. I can easily travel to LittleRock AR, Tulsa OK, or Springfield MO. Please contact me on my prive email: rose@masoncreekfarm.com

here is Domino. His sons have been both over-colored (good for show) and moderately mottled, no under-colored (light mottle) yet.

Does anyone still have Mottled Ameraucanas they are working on?

I would love to see some pictures and see how the project is coming. Not that I need another project.....BUT...I find this one very interesting.

Thanks

Cindy

Great looking variety.I was wondering how others view the spotted legs.It is a genetic reality that mottleing interupts melanin in feathers and legs.I feel that since the birds are genetically slate that white with slate spots should not be a deal breaker.You are not bringing in a foreign leg color that would pollute the gene pool.Rather we would be admitting to a genetic reality.Anyone care to Comment?

I know that Rose and Joe are both still working with mottled large fowl. Their contact information is in the Breeder\'s Directory. If I get back to the farm I will be getting back into them eventually.

I received eggs from Mr. Woodiel this spring and had a good hatch of Black and Blue Mottled. They are beautiful birds. The cockerels have little pigment on their shanks, but the pullets vary from mostly pigmented to about 50/50.

If I can make room I may get some eggs to hatch in the Spring. Does anyone have pictures to share? I have never seen a good photo of the Mottled Ameraucanas.

Thanks

When they can put slate legs on them fairly consistently, then it might be possible.
