Leg stubble is still a problem in our American Orpingtons too Toni. I have seen several Buffs get DQ'd at shows for it. People are outcrossing them to the big buff cochins to get more under feathers. They pretty much look like a hard feathered cochin without feathered feet. I have them too from...

Hi, it is pronounced Oh-hee-kee took me a minute to figure out how to enunciate with text!! LOL

Those are great, looks like you got some good ones to work with!

Thanks! That is what I am calling him right now, a splash Dunn. I hope to get some more Dunns out of him soon!

I really like the top one, he is very nice! Looks like he has great form!

Very Nice!

A very TINY Shojo Ohiki hen, she has just started laying so can't wait to get some chicks out of her!

I like that white one Amanda!

Very nice!!

Ha! Honestly I don't know what to call him. The coloring splashed through him looks like Khaki or Dunn. I have a solid Dunn hen I may put with him and see what happens. I am also thinking of putting him with some reds and see if I get some pyles. I believe he is keeping a secret!!

Ha! That is a lot Toni and Aubrey. I am really working on ginger red and black this year. Will probably hatch a few bb reds but maybe 50 to 75 each ginger and blacks so I get some to pick from. I hatched probably 70 or so bb reds last year and am very happy with them.

First Ohiki for the new year. These 2 are Shojo (ginger red) I have about 20 more due to hatch in a couple weeks along with some other colors too!

I had a really nice mottled hen from Toni, I did not keep her had too many other colors going but Toni does have some mottled in the blood.

Yes I do notice that. Also beaks. I have several roosters who have to get their beaks trimmed once every 3 months or so. They just keep growing!

Ok, haven't posted these much anywhere yet. Here is one of my black Ohiki hens. The hens I am getting all look pretty much like this one. The rooster are not ready yet but hopefully a couple more generations and I will have some good ones.

Well I too have been thinking about it Chuck. They are out there now, they still need some tweeking but there will be all qualities being raised now as with all other types of birds. There are several who have them who are wanting to work on them and that is good. I think now it is important to...

Ok, I have another one different too. My Black Ohiki mostly have Black legs. There are some white and yellow too. I have seen some green on production breeds before but not anything else that I remember.

I believe the Japanese Standard just calls for dark legs but I do agree with Amanda that we would ultimately breed for green legs. I still have some BB Reds with very nice type that have yellow legs but I am getting more and more with green and can use them more for breeders.

Looks like they are all doing great Pokey! The ginger really does stand out from the pack. Thanks for posting..

I also feed 1/3 ration of All Stock with pellets, oats, and molasses. I feed it year round though. My mix is 1/3 layer crumble, 1/3 All Stock, 1/3 crimped oats, and then I also add about 5lbs fish pellets and 10lbs black oil sunflower seeds. total mix is 165 lbs at a time.
