There are not many buff breeders, only one in my area, acutally he was one of the breeders who were first involved in 'creating' the buff variety. I got my pullets from Ideal because there is like NO ONE, they have had long back and been large, the pullets are about the size of a full grown hen...

Quote: Thanks, Im working on Buff Old English, I didnt have any buff pullets so I put my buff Cock in with a red pyle hen just to see what the results would be, and kinda test breed for type, the hen wasn't anything special, just a hatchery bird, The resulting cockerell I though was pretty...

Quote: Oh do not worry! I have to be able to take criticizm and critiques if i want to be a sucsessfull breeder!

so I wanted your guys opinion on this cockerell from this year, type only. He was the strongest of my test breeding with my buff cock I have, his color isn't right because i crossed him with a red pyle, I have some buff pullets for this year to cross this bird's father with. So speaking type...

Okay, So some of you guys know I am working on buff colored old english. The trouble is finding birds with the color. So I was trying to figure out what I could outcross to, Buff Leghorns are ideal, but finding them in bantam are tough. I could go with a buff Minicora, again, those are tough to...

Id love to work on them but I got the buffs and still need to learn more about breeding Old English first. IS the old English bantam book the APA has any good?

You have Dun OEGBS? Wow awesome!

Oh okay, They are SO Beautiful!

GotGame, Do the blue Brassy Backs breed true with color? Isn't it with blue that when you breed two blues together you can get splash and weird things? lol

That's neat! Were lucky that old english come in so Manny variations.

Sounds really neat! Have you always used OEGB blood or have you had to outcross at all?

Quote: The bird pictured above is the result of several generations of Opal on Opal no out cross, The line that I crossed with white is doing much better now 3 generations past the cross. If you will notice the excess tail fluff at the base of the tail, all of the Opals I have had or have...

Oh wow! They are beautifull!

You guys find there is enough meat on the old english to freeze them? Opals sound like a very pretty variety, are they purpleish?

Ohh interesting! Is there plans for these anywhere? What do you guys do with your extra cockerels that are culls?
