Totally agree with the OP, they are not toys, and should be treated with respect, as they are living animals. Teach you kids how to carry/pick them up properly, and not man handle them, or chase them around the yard. So sad to see mommies gushing about how their kids love their chicks and...

Ah, ok, thanks!

Yep, he was yellow as a chick .

I think this guy is sire to the BCM cross hen, he is a buff laced Barnevelder.

Found a picture of my EE hen. His dad is Blue Wheaten, had the same discussion on the Wheaten Marans thread with Snowbird. Well, I see where he got his yellow color!

My Wheaten rooster.

BCM cross, my EE was wild type, I don't have her anymore.

Blue Wheaten Marans, 100% sure he is blue wheaten. I was curious where the yellow feathering was coming from, it has dark brown in it center. eta, thanks for your prompt reply!!!

Not much activity here anymore, but I am hoping one of the Genetic Guru's can tell me what this guy is color wise? His dad was a Blue Wheaten, and hen was either a Gold Laced Barnevelder, EE, or Black Copper cross.

I am joining this year, so excited, setting 5 Silkie, 10 Silkie Seramas/Seramas and a 5 Cochin eggs!

There are a few that breed LP lines, Heaven Sent Ranch and I think Brian Parks (Frasier Creek farm) keeps a LP breeding pen. You can also join Brenda FB page, she will have a few auctions throughout the breeding season. Cheers!!

Cool thread! My Bantam Cochin's names all start the a T. The hens are Tulip, Tiffany, Tiara, Tara, and Trinity. Roosters are Tobias, Tango, Tucson, Tsunami, Teddy, Tofu, Trump and Togo.

Several hatcheries offer MT Java's, I think Sand Hill offers mottleds. If I recall correctly the Auburn color came out of a flock of blacks that Garfield Farms acquired. They are very pretty, and not as common as the mottled.

Okay, will contact her, thanks!

Been awhile since I have been on here, glad to see folks are still interested in the Java's!! I am looking to start a breeding pen of whites. Does anyone know of someone breeding these I could buy hatching eggs from? TIA
