Exhibiting, Promoting & Club Notes / Re: 2023 ABA yearbook adds
« Last post by John W Blehm on February 15, 2023, 09:42:58 AM »Will the board be approving the APA yearbook ad for 2023? I would be interested in getting an ad with the club page if they do.
They are doing both again this year, but the info on the APA Yearbook ad was made a separate topic.
Whether you want an individual ad of more in either the Alliance's ABA or APA full page they are $37.50 each this year. If 6 individual ads are placed in either then the Alliance will take a 2nd page in that yearbook, I assume, as we've done before.

Ameraucana Marketplace / White River Poultry Show or Dayton Fancy Feather Spring Show
« Last post by Ily Swan on February 15, 2023, 09:15:18 AM »Looking for Bantam Wheaten, Blue, Silver, or Self-blue Ameraucanas. My daughter is an 11 year old youth Alliance member and looking forward to adding to her breeding and showing projects. We live in Indiana and are willing to travel to pick up, or will be at both White River Poultry Show or the Dayton Fancy Feather Shows this Spring and can meet there. She is open to other offers if you have them available, possibly even LF in these varieties.

Breeding / Re: New Hampshire pattern project
« Last post by Frederick Mansfield on February 13, 2023, 07:42:43 AM »Thankfully that hasn’t been much of an issue here with these guys. I find the slow feathering gene is more prevalent in the orpington strains here in Canada than the rirs. It’s something I will keep an eye on though as I’ve read about some other experiences with it in other topics here on the forum. I have found the ones on eb tend have the darker plumage I like to see on the them, the females in particular. A couple things I have noticed is a small patch of brown/red on the front of the legs where it meets the foot that hasn’t been easy to breed out and in the last couple generations an overgrowth of fluff in the saddles that develops at around 5 months in the males as seen in the project male I’m working with. It seems to correct itself after the first molt of the other males I have but it’s still something I’m looking to explore into see if I can correct before it becomes an issue. Have any of you had any similar experiences with it?

Breeding / Re: New Hampshire pattern project
« Last post by Johnny Parks on February 13, 2023, 01:57:48 AM »I had debated on sacrificing some progress to go back to Rhode Island Reds to try and get a better colored male but I’ve decided to wait and see what I can pull out with a few birds I’ve selected for a couple hatches first. I have one a young cockerel here that might help depending how he develops. His pattern is off but doesn’t appear to have the slow growth gene.
I don't know how you started your project. If you used RIR stock to begin your project it is highly likely that your line might carry the slow feathering sex-linked gene. Males pass to daughter offspring and females pass to son offspring. A visual observation within the first few weeks after hatch you will be able to see which of the chicks feather in quickly and which of the chicks feather in slowly. You may or may not have a slow feathering issue within your project. But if you determine that you do cull the slow feathering chicks from your project. Hope this information will help your decisions early on during the development of your project.
