MY Tolbunt Polish

7/9/11- I picked up 18 Tolbunt eggs, from Jim Parker the Polish Club Secy- we had 6 hatch out, lost 2 remaining 4 are hens. We moved the "blue Tolbunt splash" to the mixed flock- so only 3 hens are in with my non bearded roo now. (her pics before she was moved are included still- to show what she turned out like as she was a blue saddle baby)

7/14/11- had 12 eggs out of Tolbunt hens (from Green Acres) bred to a Gold Lace rooster shipped in from GA- 5 hatched out- we have 2 roos & 3 hens that are Gold Lace split to Tolbunt


on to '12 season

I'm hoping at some point for 3-4 breeding pens for these guys (and a few grow out pens) when I have my own coop
1) Pure Tolbunt
2) Tolbunt x GL
3) Tolbunt x F1 Tolbunt carrier (like the GL/Tolbunt chicks)
4) Tolbunt x F2 Tolbunt carrier (if this is needed)

Gonna have to order more eggs...................

The one on the left we lost, next one is very dark w/ mossy red on black feathers w/ white tipping, middle one looks pretty close- but heavy on the black, red one is 1/2 white w/ red and black patches, the blue one is almost all white with washed out tolbunt markings- she now lives in the mixed color Polish pen.
