Silver Laced Brahmas

[OSUman]

I havent heard anything about them in a while. How is the project going?

Does anyone have any updates in the world of Laced Brahma projects? It seems as though Silver laced are disappearing

Any outposts of breeders out there who would like to dialogue? We have Buff and and handful of GL's. Here are our birds…

Seems that Big Medicine is right. I have also found that most breeders I have talked to, run their Laced birds together. This in my opinion is just muddling up the colors of these birds & I will not participate in doing so. I understand to make new colors you may have to mix a few, but that doesn't mean you should be selling them as pure colors of either. I have Gold Laced & hopefully next year some nice Buff Laced as well. I would love to get some Silver Laced but no one out there seems to be doing the right thing by them, so I will just keep wishing. I'd make some but I have limited space & a couple of projects going as it is. If you find some quality SL, pm me, I may be interested. I'd just have to find the room somehow. lol

Mine are doing well. Trying to grow them out so I can figure out who to keep for breeders.

I just noticed your tagline, Big Medicine, do you raise cornish as well?

He said one time that his dad raises standard White Cornish and he said those SL Brahmas originally started from a White Cornish X SL Cochin that came out looking similar to a Brahma.

My Dad raises large fowl whites. I always enjoyed visiting with Mr. Strait, and thought it a great line. Actually all of my birds carry Lewey's Cornish blood, and they have all been hatched in Lewey's old incubater for the past several years, so I like to think he's had a hand in it.

I'll see what I can do.

OK, not the best day for photos, too bright and the birds were having too much fun crow hopping around and wanting to dust or preen.

One of my splash blue columbian hens must have still been packing from when she was with a siver laced cock, resulting in this pullet
