Looks like your taking great effort in picking your best roos. I went through many roos that I thought would be the best of the best for a breeding roo...but as time and as they matured my guess was always wrong...it seems like the best always are late bloomers. Keep up the great work, you...
Yes, Mr. Wonderful is being himself as wonderful....love the photo of him! but as noted that Mr. Wonderful does have split wings and are slightly pointing down, wings should never be split or pointing down but rather swept back...perhaps this is from a photo being taken at the wrong time, even...
I'm so, so sorry...I can't imagine when you lose such a wonderful pet and friend. It showed how special DP was to you and your family. If only they could live on forever, my heart aches for you and your family, he was such a special part of your life....just remember the joy that he has given...

Sorry for the horrid pictures. It is...
One shouldn't be so alarmed when seeing yellow feathers, especially on the Lavenders... this is very common as the chicken ages, sun, diet all play apart of these aged feathers. After visiting many top breeders in Europe, some of there best chickens show the yellow feathers...this was so commo...
Red leakage is not acceptable in any chicken breeding program. Once red leakage comes to our vision it is nearly impossible to breed out.It saddens to see so many of our beautiful colors either fading or changing into red leakage, what is worst? It all comes down to select only the best for our...
Yes, red leakage has been seen many times over and over. This does not go away on its own. This chicken should not be used for breeding as this is considered major red leakage, sorry, but from time to time this does happen. Just make this chicken a pet and do not use for breeding as this will...
People are quick to state what they feel what is leakage verses what accurse from natural sun light. Through the years as my roosters range on fields that range from 5 to 8 acres. It is clearly seen that like all animals they will lighten upon the exposure to natural sun light. I have been...

Here are a couple of photos of my 4th generation English Lavender Hens that only get better and bigger and fluffier with age.....they are beautiful eye candy!
Recently this post was brought to my attention and many Spangle /Mottle Orpington fans have asked me to comment on this matter from "Crystalwhite" stated that the Gentlemen Thomas Hommel from Germany has a " awesome pair of true Mottle Orpingtons. Yes, Thomas Hommel of Germany has The Top...
