I'am Getting Some Jacobins....I found someone not far from me that has been breeding jacobins for a long time, and decided to get two pair from him, I will be getting two andalusian cock birds a silver hen and a yellow hen....not sure what colors I can get out of these pairings as Iam not up on genetics and color, I can't wait to get them, the only thing I have learned about this breed is you pronouce it like jack-o-bin, I was saying jA-co-bin. and they may need fosters as I don't think they are great parents, not an easy breed to breed, not sure why yet. has anyone have/had jacobins and can tell me your experience with them. did not see them in the breed of the week, hope to get them tomorrow, will post pics of course.

I don't have any info or advice for you as I don't really have any experience with Jacobins. They are gorgeous birds, and I'll definitely be looking forward to photos of your new additions!

Oh! I want some!
 They are such beautiful birds. I've never seen Andalusian ones though. That's one of my most favorite colors A Andalusion cock with a silver hen could give you blacks, blue, and any of the above with indigo added (making it also possible for more andalusians). The cocks will carry dilute. That's IF it's a true silver, and not a red bar "silver" A Andalusian cock with a yellow hen depends on what kind of yellow. Yellow as in ash-red dilute, could give you the above mentioned colors plus red and lavendar, but it would be a sex-linked pairing. And the boys would also carry dilute. If it is a recessive yellow, you could get anything! You just won't get more recessive yellows or recessive reds, since you'd need two genes for it.

Another thing I want to add, is I've met people with Jacs and I've never heard of them having a problem with raising their own babies

well he did end up calling me after all, so here they are. he decided to give me a black hen instead of a yellow hen which was fine by me. so I have two andalusian cocks, a silver hen and a black hen...they are something else.

What color is this one??? Looks almost almond to me. Very pretty birds, good luck with them! I have never heard that they were bad parents, but who knows!

I think I know which bird she is talking about as well. I don't think it is an almond, but an andalusian with a lot of bronzing showing up, giving it that patchy look.
