Did you ever find any , Alan? I am looking too.

One of my favorite things is seeing breeders with their birds. It sure would be nice to see some . Here is a picture of me after working with the birds with a Buff Columbian Rose Comb Leghorn we created. Enough of me though, I would love to see you.

@Trish1974 Thank you very much :)

@ButtonquailGirl14 Thank you very much :)

@Nifty-Chicken Thank you Nifty-Chicken. It means a lot to me , that you enjoyed this so much.:love

This is one of the hens I started off with. Lighting is a friend or it can be an enemy to the Buff color. Sunset really showed her true beauty. Things I wanted to change was to lift the wing to a level position, to create more even serrations, and a comb that would fold as a proper Leghorn hen shou

ld. A fuller lobe (not bigger) would be nice also. Many breeders are concerned with cocks having too big of a comb. And therefore, breed their females with a small comb instead of a medium one.

Hi there.

A nice male to make progress with. He has a full tail and an even fuller saddle. Wing is still lower than I like but, it is underneath the saddle. Tail is at too low of an angle and once corrected through offspring, should improve the sweep.

This pullet did not like standing on foil wrapping paper and this caused her to appear squatty. Sweep is nice. Wing is level. Tail is not showing spread, spike needs correction, tail and feet condition are dirty. Underline is ok.

The young hen up front (left) has true potential. From her I raised a cockerel that had leg length I dearly needed.

Better conditioning. Even though she is on better surface than the RC she is still uncomfortable with her surroundings and will not fully raise her head to give the alert appearance needed. Pretty bird though.

This is my best comb yet on a male. Blade is nice and points are good. Wattles are loose. Wing set is improving. I love his pose in the sun.

This is a sweep that I dream about at night, and one of the things that make a Leghorn so beautiful .

This is my backup male. I kept him because , he possesses the feather width I have been looking for. And yes, I did use him for breeding.
