I started a picture thread if you haven't seen... I'm trying to keep up with pics there with so much to do and not enough time in the day.

I would like another BCM rooster, but I don’t think I’ll be able to keep 2 roosters. The one I have now is not perfect, but he is tolerable. The crowing is usually around 6 am til 630 then stops for awhile and doesn’t crow but maybe every hour or so. The other BCM was crowing about every 2 minutes and several times louder lol

Check out my BCM pullet Penguin.

The all white fibro chick. Pretty freaky.
I’m hoping it’s a pullet, but I have a feeling it’s a cockerel. Any guesses?

Here’s another one that I’m on the fence about. I would like for it to be a pullet, but I’m pretty sure with the red shoulders and thick legs, it’s a cockerel. It came from a large pink egg and i think dad was fibro-olive egger. It has interesting blue gray legs and looks like a bob white quail.

I have 3 or 4 that look a lot like this black fibro chick.

I can't wait to see this chick all grown. Is he/she gonna be all white on an all black body? If you can reproduce that, man!!! Wow. Count me in for a pair pretty please lol

I’m just going out on limb here. I think it will be all white. I’ve seen pics of Zombies and they are a cross of white leghorn and all black ayam cemani. They usually have some black feathers mixed with the white. This all white chick is from I believe a multi generation fibro olive egger so maybe it has recessive white. Maybe somebody more knowledgeable like @NatJ can take a look at her?

Here’s another partial fibro chick. Seems to be the only one with a single comb. He sorta has that mulberry color comb/earlobe.

Good looking Black Cooper Maran cockerel @wrathsfarm I think he might be the only one. The others have dark or pale combs.

This barred chick came labeled as a Marans cross egg. The black chick next to her seems to have a very small crest and hopefully both are pullets. The barred one is very quick and active and catches flies regularly. They have all been good foragers.

Another cockerel from the barnyard mix.

Curious to see how he feathers out.

Yes he is... not a lot of white in his chest, looks chunky, and a nice straight comb. Way too early but he's handsome.
