Wheaten and blue wheaten progress

Lindsay Helton:
Proud of how the wheaten and blue wheaten Ameraucana pullets have come along the past 7 years. A photo popped up on my timehop recently. The top photo is from 2017 and the bottom photos are from 2021. They have gradually gotten closer to correct type and the offspring produced are becoming more consistent.

Just wanted to make a quick post and say thank you to Jean, Paul and Susan for your help!

kkdossey:
I keep seeing these beautiful birds of yours.
When are you posting cockerels?
Anxious to see them!
Good job setting the bar.

Lindsay Helton:
There is still a lot to do but they are gradually improving. I think I finally got the off color out of the tails on the wheaten and blue wheaten cockerels. I have been selecting against it the last several years and I don’t see it in any offspring this season.

kkdossey:
Oh wow that's a lot farther than I am on color in the tails.
Just send me a picture if you don't want to post them.

Lindsay Helton:
Just sharing this here to track my progress on large fowl wheaten and blue wheaten males. I know you have already seen the pic Kris.

This season I worked on combs on the wheaten and blue wheaten cockerels. Thrilled to have three cockerels with tight combs to carry forward for 2022. Loose combs on the males have been plaguing me for a few years. Next year, or shall I say for the next several years, I will be working on the hackle striping on the males. Making progress slowly but surely.
