Waylon the rooster, hatched feb 17, 2015. His mother was a pure bred blue isbar and his father was a bantam red silkcana. Pic of both parents are also attached, as well as Waylon's full sister, loona the black hen, and her mom a purebred black isbar. [/IMG]
A whole family. The red rooster is the father hawkeye, he is a bantam silkcana. The platinum hen in the back is the mom, she is a landrace mix, Easter egger. The 2 in front are their son and daughter. Red eagle is the son, and his sister is tundra.
