Hi: I've been in touch with you before, and I live near you in North Carolina. I would like to know if you still have the Buff leghorn Bantams? I now have some Buff Leghorn bantams, and am looking to improve them. The show in Knoxville is next Saturday, and I will be there. If you get this...

She is closest to what is known as Red Quill. A Red Quill male hatched out of Roy Shell's Light Browns, and he bred them for awhile. I understand a similar hatching took place in Old English about the same time. I suspect the color genes are related to the "Buttercup and the Golden Penciled...

Thank you for the pictures and explanation. They helped. Since seeing the picture I mentioned I have seen other photos of Gold Cubalaya. They all had the deep red. I am not sure what the cinnamon color is. Fred Jeffery, in his book on bantams, and speaking of creating Red Pyle, refers to a...

These pullets are full sisters to the above cockerel. 1st picture at 7 months and 2nd picture at 3 months of age. The pullet in the back is blue wheaten. Wheaten in OEGB do not have any stripping in their hackle. I was wondering if Wheatens could have stripping and it not be detrimental to...

I have found that, generally, commercial hatcheries do not have birds worthy of the show breeders consideration. However, I have a friend who sold some young males that were quite nice. He said they were Buff Minorcas, but they did not look like Minorcas. They looked more like Buff Leghorns. I...

Good to see your interest in the fancy. Since you purchased them locally, I wonder if they could be descendants of the ones I had. I am anxious to see them at the show. Yes, you can breed father to daughter or mother to son. This is what breeders do to produce uniformity in their birds. It does...

I am in Waynesville NC. My email is [email protected] I suggest you show your Buff Leghorns at the Knoxville show this December. I would enjoy seeing them. There is also a show in Newport. As I said, I had Buff Leghorns years ago, and I just found this thread, so I don't know what...

Sorry:, I don't have any at all. I'm looking myself. But we should get in touch-would work with you. (I had some good ones years ago.)

Yes, they are Buff Leghorns, not perfect, but very nice. I didn't know there were any this good around this area, (especially just on the other side of the mountain from me.

Hello: I was pleased when i found posts in this thread by Dan Honour. Good to know you are out there Dan. I became interested in Buff Leghorns, because my uncle had some back in the 1960ies. I had Buff leghorns for several years and somehow got out of them. Sorry about that now. (I remember...

Actually, the Sandard size (weight) for dutch is less than OEG. They may look larger because they are not as tight feathered as OEG. Also, some OEG may be smaller than the standard calls for. Also, at present time the Dutch seem to vary in size a lot. While their size encourages comparison with...

Someone posted this picture on a thread: It seems to be called a gold, or gold wheaten, by Cubalaya breeders. Does anyone know who posted this picture, I would like to read the post again but can't find it. I wonder if it breeds true, and what is the gene that produces the dark red on the...

Thank you for your reply. This is the picture I was thinking of: This picture was posted another thread. I hope it is okay for me to use it. You can see the striping in his hackle, and he is a light color, whereas in Old English the wheaten male does not have the stripe in the male hackle...

I see pictures of male wheaten Cubalayas that would be Light Brown if found in Leghorns. I see pictures of wheaten males that are duckwing (BB red)( and without the stripe) and others that have the stripe in their hackle. Evidently, this means that the wheaten male may or may not have striping...

Once I mated a white Leghorn bantam male with a Ancona female. The males in this Ancona line would show some red in the hackle. Early on the chicks appeared to be solid white, but then they stared showing a buff color on their bodies with the white mottle of the Ancona. I suspected that the...

Do these birds represent a breed in Viet Nam, or could birds of this "type" be considered a breed? Would "Tan Chau" be the name of the breed, or does it simply mean "chicken? Biffchickenbuff

Hi: I am a Dutch Bantam breeder, and used to have Buff leghorns. I had bantams as a child, and my buddy and I would walk miles and buy a bantam for 25 cents. After marriage, had no chickens for awhile, then got back into them and would travel to Penn. and other places to get birds to get...

Hi: I'm new! I think I saw a picture of a male bird that was similar to a golden duckwing, but had deep red across the back. I had a male like this one time and was looking for that gene. It is different than golden because I have had BB red males that had very dark backs, but when the silver...
