He is really nice, I really like his color.

Thank you, though I can't take the credit for breeding him. My friend ladrifter was just throwing his Seramas' eggs away this past winter and I talked him into letting me hatch some instead. Can you believe this beautiful guy almost got thrown away??!??!??

What a tragedy that would have been!

I love her coloring. Would love to see a photo of a feel feathered frizzle just for comparison as I have several young frizzled chicks and really do not know what to look for.

Love the crele boy! I think I have a pretty good chance of getting a very typey BBred, but the barred is going to take some time.

Barred is easy, just remember that a hen will only pass it to her sons. There is a difference between barred and cuckoo. A barred male has 2 genes for barring, a cuckoo male only has 1. This crele is a cuckoo, evidenced by the 'loose' barring.

If you have a barred male he will pass it to all his offspring; a cuckoo male will pass it roughly 50% of his offspring (no difference between sexes).

Well for me, its all about learning so Im ok with opinions and suggestions. Its not like you are trying to kill me. I figure I will get better with age-lol, but not to much age....At least the birds will get better with age and breeding. I now have some birds from Jerry and a few other breeders so I guess it can only get batter. Right?

Just took some more photos of my little ones and thought I would share some of them. These were mostly taken so that I could track color change as they grow and it is difficult or impossible to see type at all. That will remain to be seen! Any comments are welcome.
