I am going to put up some AC and AC-x pics, not for contest but for viewing pleasure....this is the mom Olive, pure AC.
below is the daughter "Oli" AC-BCM cross she is slightly bigger with copper on her chest, other wise all black....
Just for reference, I am putting up a pure BCM no relations...
I got my ac from a breeder, I don't know how much she cost, because I traded a young lovely AC rooster I hatched from an egg from ebay. As an owner of this breed, they lay small eggs and not very many, the hen is self centered so I would not advise this bird, they are fun to look at.
