We all need to try to put the Black back in the tails of the Silver Pencilled and Partridge females. I am starting with Partridge this year and that is my main objective. Breed to what the Standard calls for not the FADS. Also watch closely for "bunny tail" because this is contrary to the Standard also.

Funny, I have 0 pictures of my bantams from behind. I will have to get some.

Here is LF that is molting in but it shows the top 2 parti colored, you'll just have to use your imagination for the black feathers that have fallen out. haha l.

Looks good, now if we could just get tails colored like that in the bantams we would be on our way back to the Standard.

Stunning birds!!
The only 'problem' I see is the rooster his comb.
I used a rooster last year with more or less the same comb and hens with a very good comb (following the line of the neck and not too rough).
I hatched good looking hens and roosters but ALL the cockerels had that same 'bad' comb.
Just a tip
The coloring of the hen is very sharp, really like that

WOW that pullet I let you SNAG is really nice. Your roo has a nice comb too. We may have to trade some chicks. I am see much better color in mine since I swapped out roos. My roo is more silver than yours. I am picking pullets with more silver and it seems to be working.

I'm really starting to like our bantam silver penciled. I see a huge change in the peep coloration the last 2 hatched-can't wait to see how they grow out.

Wow! That hen is beautiful! Where'd you get them?

I got a whole bunch of snow yesterday and it is wonderful! P.S, go to my new thread called; feathered feet?

As far as top colour is concerned those are as nice as any I've ever seen-especially the femalhile. While they are not posed well type looks good too. My only question would be about leg colour. They almost appear white legged. I asume that's just how they show up in this picture.
