The Crazy Chicken Lady
I can't speak for the type on this bunch of birds. I have culled out what was really not typy enough for my breeding pens from them and am thinking I may not keep these but here are some 4 month olds from another breeder I hatched from eggs I bought. Ignore my Mottled pullet in the bunch. She just goes out in the day pen with them.
Here is one of many pens I am hatching from. Xavier is dancing for his hen so it looks like his wing is not placed well but he just has to show off to me when I go out there. He wants me to make sure and keep him around! Xavier has a few of these nice girls to breed. His type is great but the hens need more work in the typy area.
And, of course, my handsome Schmoozle. He always throws dark kids but he has such good type and adds so much to his offspring that I keep putting new ladies with him to see just how much he can improve what they lack. So far so good. I even added a MFC cross very buff Columbian looking hen (in the back next to Schmoozle) that has very good type her own self to see what I can get to keep for myself and improve some other pens for breeding. Their offspring is growing up very nice but time will tell if I am going in the right direction with some of these.
I have a few pens not laying right now like Fred and Zander. Fred's kids are coming out dark but the type is pretty good on his offspring, so far as I can tell. I can't wait for spring so I can get them all out in grow up pens and watch them mature out for possible breeding picks.
