    Quote: As long as the comb is solid, not spilt on the blade, then it should only be faulted for the extra point on the comb. I don't know what to call or think about the thumbprint type growth the base of the comb.... Does it count as a fault or is it of no concern because it is not...

    Quote: I know, I saw Don's set up when he shared pictures We don't have alot of extra space for individual pens either, when figuring out the breeding pens for this fall- it looks like we will need 8 different ones if all the breeds are separated for collecting eggs- this is alot of space...

    Quote: Arielle, Sorry I missed your post. Single matings are done so we know exactly which male and female the chicks come from. With most of the Parti-color fowl single mating will cut down on the amount of culls. This wat you can breed different color combinations for males and different...

    Quote: so as they get older the combs might smooth out more, my camera wasn't on the right setting last night so I will try and retake them as they don't look this dark in person. I know my DD has her eye on them as potentially showing them, at this point we only have 1 blue copper pullet...

    Quote: They both seem quite dark, with less copper than I would expect. The blue's comb doesn't look bad, and you can't really know if the wave in the BC's comb will smooth out until he's fully mature. If your hens have decent combs, you shouldn't worry too much about the comb - it's only...

Also the Black Copper has very spare leg feathering and trys to...

    It's interesting to see pictures of the different babies, especially those that are close in age. Looking at the pictures I posted and the ones BarnGoddess01 posted you can really see the difference in the amount of coppering they have. Very neat!
