Hi Cadbury, So great to see you here! I recognize those chickens. They came from my flock. The rooster is actually from 2013. He arrived from Greenfire in August of 2013 so he will be 2 later this summer. And the girls were hatched May 1st of 2014. So sorry about the sinus infection...

Hi Pat, Welcome to Back Yard Chickens. You have some nice Cream Legbars. I too was focusing on light color and was surprised to get feedback to also look at barring. If you have pullets with cream hackles that you are happy with, then remove the gold hackled pullets. I had some pullets that...

I sent you a PM Carol

Thanks! Hoping to reproduce this in the offspring this year.

Thanks Steen. It is really hard to get good pictures. It has been rainy and blowing here. I will try on a nice day to get some with their breast showing.

I recently sold my gold colored flock. Here are the ones that I have kept. My new cockerel from Greenfire My new pullet from Greenfire The ladies-The one to the left is from Rinda's flock, Second is from Jordan farm, the two one the right are offspring from my Jordan flock, they are...

Thank you! That is exactly what I plan to do. I have been wondering about using my GFF cockerel at all. I plan to breed him to the sister of the other rooster, in hopes of correcting the twisty comb. And I have a 2013 GFF pullet (that has cream hackles) with a huge crest that I will breed...

Both of my best cream colored hens/pullets have black tips on some of their breast feathers. I plan to breed from them anyway to see how their offspring look.

Steen, I heard about this on a FB, Washington discussion group! You weren't the only one who was banned from the group.

Much of the credit for the quick improvement goes to the leadership on this group. By looking at what they are doing in Britain and then spreading the word on these forums and on the Breeders group let those of us who care about the breed (and not just in it to make a quick buck) know where and...

I would love to see them before you eat them! I have 3 right now that are 7-8 weeks old that are starting to develop copper feathering and I am doubtful that they will be the right coloring. My sister lives in Belfair and I am often driving through the Gig Harbor area and could easily stop by...

Your approach sounds good. I have seen a big difference in egg color depending on what my girls are being fed or time of year. Some of my eggs went from green to blue and others from blue to almost white. So I am focusing on feather color over eggs at this point.

I think I need some serious positive thoughts. Of my 16 eggs that were shipped, 2 have made it to lock down. The others just didn't develop. They were due to hatch tomorrow and we just had a 4 hour power outage. The temperature was at 81 when t power came back on. :(.

I'll buy some eggs from you when your ready! Meet you for coffee at 3rd place books too.

My 12 year old, thinks your post is pretty creepy. Lol. It seems like a bunch of us are going for genetic diversity, hopefully next year we will all have nice healthy stock with great color

Hi There, I live in Redmond not too far from you. I have 5 hens a laying right now, I have some chicks approx 3 weeks old and eggs coming from Texas in a couple of weeks. Your light colored cockerel looks interesting, hopefully he grows out nicely. Let me know if you need some local eggs...

Ouch on the price of the book!

I too appreciate the information that Nicalandia shared. Very interesting but I hope that it was meant to be informative and not an expectation for us all to follow. i am a bit alarmed that we might go to a breed standard that disqualifies all of our current stock that is available. Out...

Here are pictures of my 2 roosters. After seeing pictures of the other peoples roosters and reading about the desirable traits, I am beginning to think that perhaps I should be letting Norbert breed with the ladies. Arnold is the dominant boy right now and I am sure that Norbert hasn't had a...
