A picture this morning from the grow out pen. There is a photo bombing SFH in there too. The leghorns tolerate him even though none of the other breeds will.
Very nice
That means a lot coming from you! Thank you!
Particularly I like seeing that dark bar on the wing of the center male -- and the white earlobes on your bunch. My crew has yet to develop their white earlobes. Love the one standing in the feed dish!A picture this morning from the grow out pen. There is a photo bombing SFH in there too. The leghorns tolerate him even though none of the other breeds will.
My goal is to get more color in the hackles, wing bow, and saddle, more like this guy (not mine).
Wow!! He is gorgeous!My goal is to get more color in the hackles, wing bow, and saddle, more like this guy (not mine).
He looks like the one that has the description FOR Isabella

That bird being from Europe etc. --
The richer --dark dark peach color on the shoulder is one sign of an underlying gold gene -- and of course that and the bar on the wing with the triangle underneath the bar -- as a sign of wildtype or 'duckwing' on the E-locus. Besides just being a beautiful healthy chicken etc. -- the color is magnificent.
What avenue gets a person there? Is it selection for the best marked and most intense colors -- or is it frequent return to the basic brown part of the lavender-brown background.
Thanks for posting!
This boy is about 5 months old. The pullets are 4-5 months old.
I've been looking more closely at earlobes since you showed yours. The pullets/hens all have white ear lobes, but my cock bird has white speckled with red in it. This young cockerel has white with a red ring around it. His feather fraying is an improvement over the last generation though. I've added a Backwoods Poultry F7 pullet to the mix and have some of her eggs hatching next week also. Isabelles are a continuing story...as are most breeds.
