wow--he's really pretty---

 

I keep forgetting the breed that was the model for Kellogg's cornflakes...was it Welsumer or was it Marans... He looks like the Kellogg's model to me.  :o)

 

At least you will get a bump---maybe a breed expert can name the breed.

Ooooh! He's a very handsome boy!  He looks like a Black Breasted Red Standard Old English.

YES, I had to thin my flock out. It went from 57 to 28.  :(

It was a Welsummer, and the color is the same, black breasted red. But wellies are a lot heavier bodied.

Well, the kittens aren't so cute anymore and the easter egger cockerels are in the freezer. Plus, I think offering them as "prizes" scared folks off! So, I'm still posting quotes, if you know it let me know. I'm very enamored of this new one, it may hang around for a while!

Thank you donrae-- Next time I will try to remember...and when you say it---I see exactly what you mean about the body-type.
