Pictures?

I can get some in the morning. Should be easy since she' in quarantine with her two flock mates right now.

Here is my girl angel cakes, with beauty in front of her, and savage next to her.

Here she is with beauty behind her and savage closest to me.

This is just me holding angel cakes.

My birds are finally coming into lay! I'd put clean hay in the nesting boxes a few weeks ago and they tore it all out to eat seed. Checked today and had five dirty eggs in coop, fed them back to the girls and put fresh hay in the boxes.

I'll pen up the breeders this weekend and plan on setting eggs this Easter instead of hatching.

This year's breeder. He has two legs. Unfortunately he also has two minor comb sprigs. And of course I'd like the yellow legs to not wash out as they age. Other than that- I like him!

Need tail lift in the flock and he's got that. He's also got nice bumps on the rose comb. His sire was completely smooth. Of the final two choices for this year both had a sprig, one was smooth comb with lower tail. The sprigs have been tamed a lot from the past two years selections but didn't get enough males on the ground to be sprig free this year and found the sire was only carrying one mahogany gene so he had to go.

To make an Easter setting date I'll have genetics from both in the mix. He's not the flock master and will be penned up with the chosen breeder hens this weekend. Second hatch and beyond will be all his. I'm excited to get the tails up and bring in more curves. Plan on putting a lot on the ground this spring and culling hard for sprigs and leg color for next years breeders.

These are on my "someday" list. It's a very big list. But these are near the top!

He looks great, @Egghead_Jr !

Here’s my 7-8 month old cockerel. Can’t decide whether or not to keep him. Wish he was rounded and had a higher tail like yours.

And heres the pullet I’m about to breed him to.

He's handsome too!

I was hoping to get a blue laced red wyandotte this year. But i had to get a silver instead. Maybe next year. All your chickens are beautiful.
