Thanks Mike. I appreciate the compliments. Yes, the first boy does have good type however, I sold him. He had a slight split breast & I knew that I would have others equally as nice without the problem. :)
Mike, Feather is going to be gorgeous. He just needs to mature. His type is awesome. You need to breed him to a Black Mottled or BM x MF. Little Ginger Nut will be great with your less than perfectly patterned (light) girls. Don't throw the baby out with the bath water. :)
What do you think of...
Finally the weather cooperated today for a photo shoot. Here is my sweet little Frizzle MF pullet. She is out of "Sparky" bred by Amy Phillips of West Knoll Farm & one of my MF hens. I'm just thrilled with her.
Finally, after 7 years, I have the pattern I have been striving to obtain. This boy is the son of Chief, my Blk Mottled x MF.. I bred Chief to a dark MF. to get this great pattern on his son.
Chief
5 Months today. Can't wait to see him at maturity :)
Mike, your Frizzles are adorable. Post a pick of Tuba's chicks for a better critique. I finally have a Frizzle from my Petunia. I "think" it is a pullet & possibly black mottled.
