bantam roo ID please...

[gumbii]

hello... this is my first thread, and i got this roo a couple of weeks back... i want to know what kind of hen to get him... i'm a little confused... i can't ID him based on photos alone... let me see what you guys think...

i thought he was a lemon blue, and ended up getting him a lemon blue hen... but she is super dark grey compared to him... i was told he might be porcelain... i hope so, i love his colors... i also ended up recently getting a blue wheaton hen thinking they were a match... but he is not a blue wheaton... LOL... sigh... it's a mess...


your opinions are greatly appreciated... thanks in advance...

orly...?


a friend of mine and i have been using this website to ID our banty's... since we're just getting into the hobby... getting in pretty bad as well...


anyways... i thought he was porcelain, but now looking at them, he light grey body feathers have to have a bit of white in them... all the blue brassy backs seem to be way darker than thor... like these... http://www.bantychicken.com/cgi-bin/OEGBCA/mods/usergallery/index.cgi?action=openalbum&album=28&albumname=Blue+Brassy+Back

but i dunno... he still looks pretty porcelain to me... http://www.bantychicken.com/cgi-bin/OEGBCA/mods/usergallery/index.cgi?action=openalbum&album=2&albumname=Unrecog.+Varieties

bah i'm over it... i'll just tell everyone he's awesome... LOL... gonna try to get the lightest colored hen for him... but i never find anything good around here... looks like i'm gonna have to shop around the breeders...

Nope, definitely not a porcelain! I have a porcelain OEGB roo myself, he's much lighter than that. I think your fella is a blue brassy back like posted above.

Ok, I'm going to say......blue duckwing....what ever he is I love it.......but will have to put watching this b/c I have 1 that looks like him....

 

[allieloveschickens]

he's very pretty!
What happened to his comb in the last pics? Is that the same bird?

 

[Red&Yellow]

Yes; why did you dub him???

A Blue Brassy Back would have slate legs not white legs.
