I just received my 2 pullets & a rooster today, from Lynne. They are gorgeous. I need to go take some pictures now.

awe... you guys are so sweet. I do love them and am very proud of them.

I do ship.. I don't have much in the way of girls right now but, I do have a couple of boys to sell. Im trying to hatch out some good numbers this spring. Currently, I have about 20 hens and 4 boys. Once Im done hatching, I'll sell a good many hens so, I'll try to get some boxes before then.

Lynne, I might jus send in that pic... lemme tweak it a bit

I went out to take pictures of birds and this little gal was just sitting there so nice, I thought she'd make a good avatar:

She is just beautiful, I love her!
Here are a few pictures of mine I took the other day. My rooster Winchester and the Callie the Mille hen with more black on her I got from Lynne and the other Mille hen came from her eggs. I bought her and the black mottled F1 hen from Shy's Creations in CO. I love them all and have a few chicks in the brooder from them all now. They are all blooming into beautiful colors!

Thanks! I'm happy with the way those little girls are coming along. They are only 5 months old, and my older ones just get better type as they age. They are also much slower feathering than my white cochins, I'm thinking that is a good thing, seeing as how we are trying to establish pattern. What do you guys think?

This little girl stuck her head up and looked at me just as I snapped the picture, and this little buff mottle was from that hatch:

Yes your birds are very nice type and love them all especially the buff mottled.

Is anyone breeding these in large fowl? I so want some large ones along with some Brown-Reds. These are unusal colors no one around my area have.
