And Part 3, Not Really A Cross

[3KillerBs]

Clean-legged Blue Cuckoo Marans male x feather-footed French Cuckoo Marans female -- 50% Blue Cuckoo, 50% Cuckoo. Sexable -- males double-barred. I don't know about the feathered feet.

This is the cockerel I sold. We agreed that, come spring we'll trade her fertilized Marans eggs for my fertilized Blue Australorp eggs.

Looks beautiful! What made you get rid of him?

I want to breed my Blue Australorps and needed to keep one of those boys.

P.S. I arranged with the lady who bought him, who has a flock of French Cuckoo Marans girls, to exchange my Blue Australorp eggs for her Marans eggs come spring.
