I read here a lot but rarely post. I thought I would include a picture of one of my breeding pens for 2017. Silver Laced Cornish Bantam project. These are 4th generation from original parents, Silver laced wyandottes crossed on single laced dark cornish.

Looking good, I know it's a battle but its a fun one! I have my third breeding pen set up for 2017, two more pairs to choose

Thought I would post a picture of my SL Cornish bantam project that I've been working on for 4 years now. This pullet is 20 weeks old, 7/8 cornish and 1/8 SL Wyandotte.I think in 3 or 4 more generations I might be there.Chicks are definitely NOT uniform yet, but I have about half a dozen pullets...

yes, my best colored birds are the worst type and vice versa. But, its fun. I expect to have some pictures of this generation in a few weeks, they are starting to fill out. had one get loose the other day and I was surprised when I caught it that it felt like a cornish! a lot heavier than it looked.

Well, they started laying very late this year, but I have about 30 chicks coming up form three hatches, oldest ones are about 5 months old. I have selected two cockerels and two pullets from that group that I will use. I have about 10 more that are 3.5 months old and about 10 more that are still...

The American Bantam Association just started selling re-prints, 10 dollars each I believe

Yes, definitely a long term project, buts its been fun. My plan is to have showable birds by the time I retire!

I will check him more closely on saturday when I'm actually home in the daylight. I have had several with the brassiness, but I have not seen it on him or on any of the females I've raised.
