Annual breed fads

[Sonoran Silkies]

Don't know, just have seen the photos, and been told that the colour goes right through the shell, meaning it is an eggshell colour, not just a bloom.

I've generally not a fan of green eggs, and definitely not the olive ones (YEECH), but purple? That would be KOOL!

Speckled green eggs, anyone?

Most young girls consider purple to be a feminine colour, though

Maybe you want the ones with army drab green or jungle camoflage barring?

I'm talking ROYAL manly purple here!!! Like the Kings & Pharaohs wear...

thanks for looking out for me though!!

I just keep thinking of Barney.

So does anyone on here actually have any Croad Langshans?

Fads are fun; but so are the good ol' favorites. What is especially fun is when the good ol' favorites became fad again.

Why upgrade the quality of the conformation when you are breeding to get maximum production?

Sussex are difficult from what I understand. If I remember correctly, each feather is supposed to have three separate colors, and each is supposed to go a specific distance up the feather, and each is supposed to be a specific shade- one being a salmon-like color. The bird I was looking at when this was explained to me won champ LF in the show, and I think it might have gotten Ch of show as well, but I can't remember.

I'll bite. What lays green speckled eggs?

Generally speaking, the Croad Langshan from the UK is what is accepted as a Langshan here. German Langshans are not in the US however. I have only ever seen photos of them and have only ever seen one photo of a Modern Langshan. The Modern Langshan doesn't look that difficult to recreate. Many Langshans in the states do have the plum colored eggs but it varies just as much as the Marans egg color does on the color scale.
