Donna you have no idea how many times I have kicked myself for letting you have those boys! Man some decision you regret for a long time! LOL They did turn out to be just stunning and I am so sorry you lost them.
Thanks....
I have another roo from you in my pen now. You gave him to Troy and he didn't need a roo.... but I did haha. His eyes are dark but I can work with that. I like his dark toe nails..... I don't have that in any of my birds. I will use him for a bit to get the dark toes nails. He is blue with lighter hackles so MAYBE he will give me some copper pullets too. I will up date you......
My 7 week FBCM was born with feathered legs, but now the feathers are almost completely gone, will they grow back?
Trust me, egg color has as much to do with the color of egg the males/fathers came from as much as the one the mother/female hen is laying. Try breeding an uber dark #9 laying hen back to a male from a light egg. You will see loss of egg color in the daughters immediately.

Aloha,
Right. The fatherʻs genetics are just as important. A little harder to trace. Only put dark eggs in the incubator, so you know they all came from dark egg lineage.
Take care, Puhi

I meant so you know the father came from a dark egg down the road.
Can you critique my 10 week cockerels? This is#1

And this is #2.....
I have another one, but he doesn't have nearly as much copper and is very flighty. I couldn't catch him....
