Title: looking for new mottle breeder
Post by: Guest on January 22, 2010, 09:05:57 AM: 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 (http://www.animalwelfareapproved.org/), 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 (rose@masoncreekfarm.com)

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

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.

Thanks
