Wow..Quite a bit of difference in the type of these two cockerels.

Yes Gary there is quite a difference. I have been working with this breed now for 7 years, am trying my best to breed to SOP. My fellow is standing at an weird angle, he was wondering what I was up to, LOL

I am seeing a lot better Marraduna EO's than I saw when Skyline Poultry was first offering them in the USA 5 years ago, but it is still interesting to see how different flocks are shaping up considering since they are are built from the same limited genepool imported to Black Horse Ranch.

I need to take a current picture of him as he has filled out quite a bit since this picture was taken in the Spring. Also I have another breeding group and the rooster is a bit darker than him so I can't wait to set some eggs in the next couple months, hatching in Canada at this time of year is not ideal or I would be!! LOL

Above are some of my first birds that I hatched from those I bought from Greenfire in 2011. Below are some of from my 2016 group.
