Thanks. The coloration is exactly like the mature Rhodebar roo. I knew that the white earlobes does not go with Rhodebars. So you are saying this roo is a Legbar. I am not familiar with them but I will definately start researching. Thanks again for your input.

I was given two Rhodebar roos and nine hens and this young rooster. It is the same coloration of one of my new Rhodebar roos but it does not have the white earlobes on each side of its head. What is he?

Yes, I am going to breed him. I have several choices. Breed him to my Blue Lace Red Wyandotte hen, my BLR splash hen. I might even go out on a limb and breed him with one of my Buff Laced Brahma hens who does not have dark lacing. Hopefully by mid to late summer, we will have some chicks to...

Thank you Frizzle 13 for responding to my post. I have tried to find a Buff Laced Wyandotte hen to go with him but no luck. Someone told me that if I breed him to my Blue Laced Red hens that I will get Buff Laced chicks. What do you think? or Is there another option? Thanks again for any...

Try now. I was having a problem getting my pics together. Thanks.

Is this a buff laced wyandotte rooster? It was given to me by a lady who got it from a guy who breeds blue laced red wyandottes. She thought it was a BLR "splash". But from the pictures that I have seen from the UK about buff laced wyandottes, it looks like them. Hopefully there are some...

I have a beautiful Buff Laced Wyandotte rooster who is nine months old. I cannot find a hen to go with him. However, I do have two BLR Wyandottes hens and a Splash Wyandotte hen. Could I mate him with a BLR or a Splash hen and make more Buff Laced Wyandotte chicks? Any information would be...

I am trying to locate someone who has pullets or hens for sale . I am wanting them from the Cathy Peters bloodline. Looking for someone here in North Georgia. If you can help, please let me know. Thanks.

Thanks v.cyr. You made an excellent point. Papa Mel

Will this crossing produce blue chicks? black x splash = 100% blue Has anyone out there done this? If so, please send me pictures. And what name would you give the chicks? Austra Orphs.

If you were to breed a Black Australorp Rooster to a Splash Orpington Hen would you get all blue chicks? Splash + Black = Blue (Australorp, Orpington cross)

The only Buff Orpington Bantams that I can find have been with Cackle Hatcheries. I would like to get some which are not hatchery birds. Anyone know of breeders ? I live in North Georgia.

I am looking for Blue, Black & Splash Orpington Bantams. I live in North Georgia mountains in Dahlonega. I would like to hear from anyone breeding Orpington Bantams of any color in North Georgia or surrounding area.

I have a Quail d'Anver rooster and an OEG Ginger Red hen. If you breed the two would you be able to make a Ginger Red colored d'Anver? If not how do you make a Ginger Red d'Anver? Thanks for you help. As I do not know a lot about genetics please make it simple.

You know I had not even given it a thought but my two broodies are also sisters! lol
