Exhibiting, Promoting & Club Notes / Re: ABA and APA ads 2026
Last post by John W Blehm - April 23, 2026, 11:46:28 AMBelow are our Alliance club page ads for the 2026 ABA and APA yearbooks. We've been doing these for many years, with at least the top 1/4 of the page promoting the Alliance and offering up to six individual ads to members that what to place their individual ads within it and at the same time help to defray the cost of the full page to the Alliance. As always, the total cost of each of these ABA and APA pages is divided by six to come up with the cost of the individual member ads.

AMEN!

Last post by Russ Blair - April 15, 2026, 04:43:34 PMMike, blacks would make sense according to this chicks phenotype. Meaning I noticed it has a white/cream colored chest and throat. Which tells me it appears to be an extended black allele (E) instead of birchen (ER) at the E locus. The line of bantam brown reds I have had since 2016 generally hatch out solid black which corresponds to ER at the E locus. I can't wait to see how it feathers out, not that it will ever be used or fully finished.

Last post by Mike Gilbert - April 14, 2026, 03:55:35 PMMy guess would be that somebody crossed Black or possibly even Blue. Not a good idea.

Breeding / Strange brown red bantam chick...
Last post by Russ Blair - April 14, 2026, 10:48:36 AMGood morning, I pulled a batch of chicks out of the hatcher yesterday. I was surprised to find a strange brown red chick in the mix. Not sure what genetics are behind this. I will grow it out just to see the feather color and pattern. This came from another line of brown reds and is proof why you don't want to blindly introduce another line into yours without maintaining your original line. I will try to post some pictures as the chick grows out just for educational purposes. I find chicken genetics fascinating.
