Speaking of chocolates, still stinks I got 5 straight run birds and all 5 were cockerels.  I sold one and I am debating selling another.  I do not need 4...  Wish I had gotten at least one pullet.  My 75% English blue and black girls are coming along nicely.  I haven't had time to go get pictures.  I am downsizing and I am doing some serious rearranging.  They are in the hard to get to pen and pictures are nearly impossible.

 

I want to share, though.  I want your opinions.  I am definitely partial to the blues!

There are too many breeds and varieties in the world to have them all... but its too hard just to choose a few.

Currently breeding Bantam Orpingtons, Anconas, White Faced Black Spanish, and RC Rhode Island Reds.  Also have Buff, Blue Swedish and Runner ducks along with Chinese Geese.

Here is my Cocoa Puff... He is approx. 5 months old and his parents are from Heirloom Orpingtons  (KIDCODY). He has become my favorite chicken in the short amount of time I have had him, I want a whole flock of these sweet puffs of love!!!!

Now I just have to find him a hen/pullet (hint hint).

 

Love his bottom :-)

I'm breeding this pair in hopes of coaxing out any hidden genes that might be in my English line, with the intention of replicating the breeding that produced Prudence. She is pretty distinctly marked and I'm crossing my fingers that her offspring have a even clearer marked Partridge pattern to their feathers.

 

I plan on collecting 4 eggs at a time and then setting them, I'll probably do this until I have at least a dozen eggs incubating.

 

Here's to wishing for Partridge marked babies in just a few weeks! fl.gif

 

 

 

Hello Jeremy, just wanted to say "what a beautiful hen", I love seeing the different colors that come out.  Good luck with your plans.
