I'm sorry but those are extremely poor quality if they are supposed to be Bantam BLRW. Here are a couple pictures of my Bantam BLRW that do very well at the shows.










I have a few more darker red pullets from this year that I still need to get pictures of but they all have good lacing. The two pullets you are getting are unfortunately way too gold and have extremely poor lacing. Sorry

They should still have better color. Mine hatch with better color. The lacing will not get any better. ALWAYS try to get the best quality you can. It is worth it, trust me.

Quote: even so, they are gold, not the mahogany red required. and that won't develop with age, even if the lacing does...
and the pics posted by Jen C are also splash... yes it dilutes the mahogany a little bit, but not enough to make it gold.

here's my splash LF girl.. and she's not perfect since she does have some shafting visible. she's also young. around 5 months old.

I'll be setting up my bantam pair soon, but haven't seen any signs that my girl is laying yet, so for now they continue free ranging (and he continues harrassing my cochins LOL).

Smee's Girl (yeah i stink at naming LOL)

smee's color has improved those pics were taken, and smee's girl isn't as dark as i'd like, but she is darker than the golds i've seen.
since they started free ranging I think if anything their color and type have improved dramatically...

i'll try to get some newer pics of the pair soon.
