Mine are in incubator now. Won’t know how this bunch does till 8 months from now. Last import did not do well. Most died around 2 year frame. Hoping the 2017 import does better. Keeping your own breeders is very expensive. Cornish X chicks here usually run around $2.75.

I’m not sure if it’s their up bringing but my darks are very friendly the whites are ok but the darks are under your feet especially when it’s feed time or if they think it’s feed time. No rooster to judge the darks though.

I love my darks. However for some reason I get more hens than roosters and both roosters have died. Both the white and dark hens seem to be about the same size.

:fl I’ve had the Bresse before but their first line didn’t do well for me. Hoping the 2017 import is better.

Very nice. In a week I hope to start some of mine along with some Bresse I have coming.

That’s the plan now. Besides if he can’t keep upright what’s the chances his offspring will. Plenty of others that are staying on their feet.

And likewise me with the dark hens. Unfortunately I have one White Cornish rooster that turtles if he keep that up he will be turtle soup. So far I’ve been able to find him before he dies.

Of the LF Dark Cornish eggs I hatched all were hens. The White Cornish most were roosters. 4 hens 9 roosters.

Not quite sure if I’m catching the folded wing look. Here’s a picture of the backs on mine. Hoping it will show you enough to know either way. This seems to be their normal stance. Also the tail on the one in front curls down to ground or close to it. Good or bad?

I’d like to stay SOP. Not for showing though. The roosters of the one seller have definitely grown faster and they are the younger. The hen of that seller is smaller than the hens of the other group but she’s 2 weeks younger. So it seemed best to mix the group. Going to hatch as many as I can...

Thank you I have and printed and put in barn. I have wondered about the short leg thing. Good to know. With that in mind the one you liked is looking like my best so far. He’s also taller. I have a good hen from a different breeder. Should I mix the two or keep separate.

Thank you, yes to the patience. I was mostly interested in learning the defaults than anything. Are the folded back wings wings that cross each other? Here’s the black spot several seem to have it yet in the same area. Again not yet six months old.

Here’s some that hatched 6-1-18. How are they looking? These below hatched 5-15-18 from different seller With this bunch there’s still one persistent black feather. At what age will they molt out it ever?

' :fl

Shoot that looks very similar to the Bresse I got. I was told that it was because they were in the sunshine. Funny thing is they were in an enclosed coop that may have had some sunshine though the spaces in the boards. Very disappointed and frustrating. If it wasn’t so wrong they would have been...

Ordered the book.

No I don’t have that book, I’ll be looking it up thanks. Yes, as I found out they do have better pens, they even told me they did. Managed to get one of their “better” eggs to hatch. It hatched yellow the rest hatched browns and black and white. They are mostly white now. The second sellers...

Wow that cat almost has a cougar appearance. Definitely far to interested in your coop. Here’s some of mine hatched 5-20-18 and 6-1. I’m hoping to have 2 different lines to work with if they all live long enough.

Nice bunch and I’m just getting started with them. I’ll be lucky to have 10 to start with.

They really had me for a couple days. I was thinking I got sold a bill of goods with this bunch. However they are all feathering in a nice white with a iittle darker down to molt yet.
