Silver laced polish rooster bought from Dick Horstman (show quality blood lines) needs a new home. He is yellowed from the sun and has a broken off spur so can't be shown but would make a good breeder for someone. Pm me if interested.

In search of exhibition quality Dutch bantam eggs. Please let me know of breeders if you know any thanks so much!

Can anyone help me? I am in search of Dutch breeder of exhibition birds. Chicks will be used for showing in 4H for my daughters. We live in FL.

My two (hopefully) pullets. Blue wheaten Ameracauna roo X BCM hen.

Good luck!

And the blue wheaten Roo he is 7 mo old. What do you guys think of him? Is his leg and feather coloration correct? He is much larger than the other roo.

What do you all think of my ameracauna hen? Is she nice enough to show in 4H ? 6 months old

Very cool! Thanks for info

Spurs on a hen? I've never seen that before. Do Sumatra's do that frequently or is that rare?

His legs were very green a few months ago. Now they are grey/blue and look like the other two am's legs. He has some pale flesh coloring on the bottom of his feet. So his coloring is not true to a wheaten am?

I checked the bottom of his feet and they aren't yellow at all. It's weird though the area between the toes looks pale like my skin tone with the grey leg color blending over it.

Thanks for the info on genes for leg color now it all makes sence. He is out as a breeder then because I don't want him only passing one gene to his chicks for dark leg color. Any thoughts on entering him in 4H show as far as disqualifications?

This is a pic from a few months ago comparing his legs to his siblings legs. Now the legs colors are almost the same which is what has me so confused. This was from a couple weeks ago and his legs continue to darken.

So don't count him as a EE just yet?
