Thanks, Chris. I will do this today.

Fuller 72 contact Matt he has the breeding stock and will be shipping about 30 chicks out this spring. Dont waist your time with eggs these eggs are to rare to screw with the post office. He will treat you right. These are my old birds and they are nice looking Reds like I had 20 years ago same line. bob

Tell me what you think of this LF SC RIR Cockeral he is 8 mos. old. His legs are a nice yellow with red lines. He has some horn coloring at the ankles.

Mr R. Blosi I'm the fellow you were helping from NC I'm very interested in your critic of this bird. Here is the 2nd picture.

Short bodied. More v shaped than brick shaped. Looks like a production bird to me. Certainly not one I'd have any use for.

I see your male and I think he is the Ramey line am I correct? Hes not bad of a male. I think when he is older as a cock bird he will fill out more in the breast area. He has pretty good green in his tail. I have noticed that there is a different hue or color with these birds they do not have the super dark color like some large fowl or bantams that I have seen. I saw this in the original pictures that he posted on the web site about two years ago. I would love to see about six or eight of the saddle feathers from this male to look at his quill color. Dark Bing cherry color is hoped for rustic or orange color is not a good sign or lack color strenth in the over all bird and surface color.

Leg color red line going down the leg the yellow issue I pay no attention to. I want the bird to have as much horn in their beak and their quill color to be as close to black as I can get. I want the tail to be solid beetle green not only in the out side but also in the inside of the tail. There for they should have very dark surface color, good wing color that is their wings are dark dark red along with the black and the spurs on the males as cock bird will have black or dark horn spurs.

If I got some yellow good, but when you produce a bird like I have described you wont have the classic standard pretty leg color that some are looking for.. If I am a wacko o on this so be it.

Do you have any pictures of the pullets.???

We get a lot of male pictures but it would be nice to see what the females look like as well.

Thanks for the picture. I know this line is not a production line however the only pictures we have seen is the original picture of the trio that Mr. Ramey pictured and we don't know when that picture was taken. bob
