BigRed's 1st generation sons - Photos

[MissPrissy]

This is the first generation cockerals from my red orp breeding project.

The brassy red is visible not as intense as BigRed's.

I have eggs in the bator. Hopefully some of these are generation 2. I added 2 new pullets that are daughters of Red to his pen a few weeks agao.

Big Daddy Red -

His 2 sons I kept.

The girls look like buff orpingtons with maybe a speckle of black showing through on the tail. One has whiteish legs and one has slate legs.

They aren't as bright, shiny red as their dad, but they are good looking fellas. I'm crossing fingers that Meg will produce some that will take you much closer to your goal, Angie. Thanks for updating the project!

I am keeping my fingers crossed that Big Red's son (the one I have) will turn out bright red.

since I have only one I am treating him like a king

Angie, they are absolutely gorgeous.

They are nice looking roosters, even if they aren't as bright red as Big Red.

Love them. Big Red is so shiny. What do you feed your birds MP? I mean do they get some type of supplement for the shininess? I think I read you fed sunflower seeds, or am I dreaming again?

Very good looking MP.Anytime you want to send some of his egg's this way I won't be mad at you.

Very nice,,,,,that one hen in the first picture looks nice and dark too.


Those freckles are cute on his chest too, but I suppose not exactly what you desire.
