I have a Calico MF roo with lots of white. What color hen should I pair him with to improve the MF color? I have a couple of red MF with very little white and was thinking of putting all together in hope that some of his white will improve the lack of white in them. Not sure what I will get out...
Hello
I just realized that 2 of my favorite pullets are actually lemon blues. I didn't post pictures yet but I will. Anyhow, I would like to continue this color in my cochins. I have a brown red roo and was thinking about putting the 2 lemon blues and 1 splash with him. Would it be beneficial to...
Does anyone have a link to a good site for someone starting out in poultry shows? I have a few bantam cochins and would like to read up on showing and what to look for in my birds before I take them to the fair. I have gone to poultry shows but I was looking for something a little more breed...
