That's just way cool haTHOR...I'm betting some of those folks will never forget the hatching. I wish you were closer to me here. I could use some different genes for the flock. I'll be setting another dozen black java eggs from a breeder by Green Bay here in Wi, in my brinsea advance 20, along...

I'm no expert either, but full of questions like everyone should be that's interested in the unknown. I'm looking at the new addition of the American Standard of perfection that arrived today. Like before the only 2 colors recognized by the standard are Black and Mottled....just sayin....also...
Nice pics and thanks for sharing.... the combs need 5 distinct points.... always room for improvement. I know you all know that the perfect chicken is still out there...i'm still trying, and hope you are too!
The standard of perfection has artist pictures of what should beeee, no pics of what...
