Well at least you have a strong masculine counter name(shortened version) to give him, it works appropriately for both when hes and good boy or got his tail in the air. LOL

Oh no no. I was just making sure that I was not trying too or if I was offending anyone it was not intentionally I some times have a knack of doing so without meaning too LOL sometimes I do mean to though(one of those fine line line things) LOL yes we all learn together I do anyway. I wished I...
Not directing all that towards wynette and scott but there are folks that just don't know these things (egg size)/ or pullet egg issues or where they are good to go yet or not is where I'm headed if I got anybody off track sorry I stay off more than on mostly. LOL
Jeff
Your right on the meager numbers thing but they were all good, there just seems to be a phobia about hatching from pullets eggs that should not always be there(probly some more of that intuition stuff could come into play here along with the most thing one should use when judging or comparing is...
I hatched out three NH's from Chris Herzogs pullet eggs last year 2 pullets one cockerel they grew up just fine and dandy matter of fact the male is one of my best here on the place. Those eggs Clayton posted look big enough to hatch from,IMO. The issue with hatching from the Plymouth rock...
thats green sheen, iridescent would be the black with the purplish-maroon(like an oil film on water has) hue to it, a most undesirable feather color/condition. I've only heard it once being good on certain blacks in AGs most all other with black feathers folks will strive to get the green sheen...

Scott I have the 6 here yes they have the brassiness from hardly nil to a fair amount I'm thinking that the ones Ron is breeding is not throwing the autosomal red so much for some reason. I've seen yours (the ones you posted) they look to have more than my worst one shows. I have a couple of...
I remember some of them having the silver leakage(birchen like) they were some very different awesome looking birds. I'm a sucker for the strange/off type stuff anyhow, its hard from me to stay on the "straight and narrow" (breeding birds or life in general) because of such LOL
Jeff
I was thinking you had the Blacks from Scott(yardfullofrocks) for breeders those are from the Cobb mix that was being circulated between a few over to the "showbird site" that is what Joe Eminhieser used to create his Blues with. right?

One of the prettiest pyle roosters I ever saw was out of a broiler hen(cornishX) and a BBR game cock he was awesome too a great flock-watcher.
FYI those cornish Xs are bred to be dominant white so you can't expect much color from the offspring from that concoction. all will be white with...
A lot of folks feed scratch also too, because most of the feeds concocted now-a-days is over 50% soy bean products. If one would read on the the tag usually it says right off the bat Plant proteins= soy as the first ingredient mentioned. The first ingredient is usually the largest proportion of...
