Here's my blue wheaten cockerel, what do you guys think? How does he look? I'm planning on taking him to the Central Florida Fair in March.

I see, I'm glad it's nothing too out of the ordinary, I should have pictures in this thread tomorrow, I'm really liking how they're looking so far, It seems like their combs are growing so much each day, I'm absolutely infatuated with this breed now.

How far are you from Orlando? If I purchase, would I be able to arrange a meet up? EDIT: I am mostly interested in the BLRW, if it is possible to buy one, and not the other.

Hmmm, I'm noticing my chicks are a PAIR! The boo is definitely getting his tail feathers in already, he looks stunning! Does anyone know what may cause toes to get a pink tip? The female had normal colored toes, and now, she has pink on them! Is this genetic or something else? Hmm. Also, their...

Does anyone know the quality of GC's from McMurray?

Mandelyn- #2 is the one I'm questioning as well! Especially comparitively, #1 has a MUCH bigger comb and more out-going disposition.

I'm completely alright with this! They are for show purposes, so roosters wouldn't bug me too much. Any other opinions out there?

I'm needing some help possibly identifying genders. Out of these two chicks one has a much bigger comb, but thus far the feathers that are coming in are coming in at the same time. Although, I must say, these chicks are quite flighty, even though one is a sweetheart once it's picked up. Chick...
