Here is his son. My hens are from good breeders. The dark chick behind him in the last pic is also one of his offspring. That one’s mother is a black copper marans.

Correct, most of them have just the silver, but there are also crele and golden. I usually buy my birds from reputable breeders, but picked this guy up from Hoover’s Hatchery. I emailed them, and they have both the silver and golden roosters coming out of their flocks. I just wondered if you...

I have a question! How do you know this is an OE rooster? I am asking because I have the same bird, but was told he’s a cream legbar. Have you hatched any chicks from yours and seen the eggs his offspring lay? I don’t want to sell cream legbar chicks, if mine is an OE. The only difference I can...

Do you have an update on those chicks? I have Orpington babies with the chunky wings too

I’m not the OP, but I was wondering what your chicks with the white dot ended up being. I just hatched some and I’m curious

These are my three pullets at that age ☺️
