The Official Forum of the Ameraucana Breeders Club > Breeding
Looking for some opinions
Holiday Hatch:
Thanks for getting the pictures posted Jeff. Seeing other Wheatens is very helpful since I ask a lot of questions about Wheatens. I agree with Cliff, Mike and Royce and I'd ad the Wheaten looks to have a nice comb.
The other bird looks like a Splash Wheaten to me. The red/orange color is lighter than the few Splash Wheatens I've hatched here, but my focus in on Wheatens. Always nice to see other peoples Wheaten variety. Thank you - Linda
Mike Gilbert:
I wonder if Barbara Campbell is still raising birds? Or has she sold her flock off at this point? She made a lot of progress with them in the years she has been raising them.
Sharon Yorks:
Thanks, Jeff. It's always nice to be appreciated. Glad I could help. Feel free to ask anytime.
Jeffery and Cheryl Vance:
Mike, She is still breeding some, she has one brood yard that is really nice and she can set up another nice yard. When I went up there in March, she got real excited about breeding again and she does know her wheatens. She said she wanted to try to come to the nationals.
Clif, the feed that I am feeding is what we had discussed.
Linda, thank you, we are trying our best to do well with these wheatens, only have one nice hen right now, it's been so hard to find this variety of chicken, Cliff and Sharon has really helped me with my blues, but these wheatens, lord help us! And thanks again Sharon for posting our pics.
Blue Egg Acres:
Jeff, you weren't kidding when you said you could condition birds! I'm so glad the wheaten has turned out to be such a nice cock.
Mike, funny thing: I hatched a handful o(10) chicks last year for replacement pullets and got some really nice birds out of them. Figures since I wasn't really trying lol. I had decided that it didn't make sense to give them up entirely after putting so much time and effort into them so I've kept a small number of good birds. I didn't hatch anything this past spring but am hoping to hatch a few this fall. Dick and I are seriously thinking about coming to Lucasville. It would be so nice to see everyone again and to be able to enjoy the show w/o the responsibilities off a club officer :)
