Bee,I love those pictures. Very healthy babies. All that roaming that the mothers did

Bee, you can surely tell the ones that are free ranging. Mine were mostly penned up and they were all smaller. Love the Blosl smoke on the feathers. Ha.

I realize that this is an older post, Bee, but it does have to do with my case of Blosl hen. She is in the pen with a Coronation Sussex, 2 super blue egg layers and the Blosl cock. Eggs like crazy. All fertilized well. Ha!! BUT, not one pure Blosl baby out of the 24 hatched. Lots of...

I notice that also and the way to get in is to click on the right side where the last poster is.

Yes, I started out with hatchery White Rocks and a year later, I switched and now have some of the finest around. Blosl and XW. So worth learning the basics.

Cheese and crackers, no wonder he has such fabulous birds!!!! lol

Quote: Let me take a moment and go out and look at my two white rocks. They have been pushed to the background lately as I have been doing other important things. The younger XW has started crowing this week so I'm hoping that he will have some get up and go. I have him separated with the 2...

Boy, you have that right Tumbleweed, I'm looking and planning and have two different strains of White rock. A pair of Bob Blosl and a trio of XW. Just learning enough to know what I'm doing is daunting. More breeding pens. I have a 3'x12' growout pen that I'm planning on making into 3...

Good post.

Well Fred, finally, finally I got my Blosl cock today. I really hate waiting, but the wait is definitely worth it. Hope to get pictures soon. He is so different from the XW cockerel I have, but although he is gorgeous he has a wide fluffy tail. But by mixing with the XW pullets, I bet I'll...

Both are truly beautiful, Fred.

Good point. Beekissed had the same opinion of the mix on her birds.

Thanks Fred, great ideas. One question about the silver gene. When breeding the Blosl silver gene cock to a XW hen will the chicks get the silver gene? Or just sometime? I'm interested in getting a few German NH. One cock to make Golden Comets with my Blosl hen. I was wondering if I could...

Maybe I should just keep both of them. I only have one Blosl pullet and 2 XW's. I need some more pullets just to keep them company until breeding time.

Fred, I do have a quandry for you. I'm getting my Blosl cock on Saturday. And the fellow that I thought would LOVE to have the XW one is side stepping me. It could just be the time of the year, but I have a nice coop for the new one to go in with his 6 ladies. One is a Coronation Sussex and...

I hear you Bee, I'll not be doing it long enough for a 5 year plan.

Great to have you.

Hi Caleb, you are way ahead of me. I was able to buy some local birds that were gotten from Ken Weaver. I have one Blosl pullet, 3 XW pullets and a XW cockerel. In fact, all four of my girls look a lot like your 2nd pic of the whites. The birds are 6 mo old and their tail was lower but...
