Ross,
How did you guys come up with the white BA? Was it a sport of the blacks or was something else mixed in?
Hall family,
That is an awesome looking BA bantam. Congrats to Marguerite.

so my 3 hatchery BA's are about 3 weeks old and starting to really feather out nicely. Im just curious, as these are hatchery stock, what "flaws" should i expect to see in them? I am wanting to get seom breeding stock, and possibly show down the line but dont have any experience with this breed and am wanting to start training my eye.
im familiar with pinched tail being a predominate flaw in most hatchery stock of barred rocks, is this something that BA's are prone to as well? Just trying to kinda get an idea of what is right/wrong/standard/non-standard of this breed on a breeder/hatchery stand point.
PS. im not trying to "ruffle and feathers" or anything, just want some input from those with experience!

Just from observing and learning on this thread, my hatchery BA's do have pinched tails. Also brown eyes are a no-no and mine have varying shades of brown. The chicks had some white feathers which were replaced with black and I think too much fluffy on their rear ends is to be avoided. That's just off the top of my head. Mine all have black legs and feet but evidently some hatchery do not. Toenails should be white, along with the soles of their feet, not yellow.
Oops, just saw this. I guess I shouldn't have responded because I have no experience. Have fun.
oh thats not at all what i meant....you obviously have more experience than i! lol! i just didnt want to start some kind of argument like ee/americauna powder keg or anything! Anyone is welcome to comment!
Best advice is to monitor and ask questions on this thread. Everyone is very helpful.
