sounds like a good marans soup.... The fun part is finding this little gems in your stock and then learning what to do with them... How to breed them out and how to use what you find.... Like.... dare I say it..... GOLDEN SALMON!!!

Grrrrrrreeaattttttttt! Just what I need, more roos!!!!!!!!!

Although I must admit, I do admire them more these days. With one of the cockerels now gone, it makes it a bit easier, but I swear some mornings, it's like walking through a pen of colts!

At least you know what to expect with all that testosterone!

I don't have any adult pix of Golden Salmon....Just picture a Welsummer that lay a good egg and feathered legs....

Those melanizers will get you into a heap of trouble especially with eye color but that stipling / orange in the body feathers is just as bad.
