As first eluded to by Rodriquespoultry , and guessed by others, they do have silver laced cochin as 1/2 of the foundation cross (Roland Doerr bloodline)
The Brahma blood provided by Bill Bowman and Bill Mayer.

I'll give you a hint on the third breed involved,(if the last picture did not give it away). silver laced cochin x (?) x light Brahma
Unfortunately we lost this gentleman a few years ago. Imagine yourself at a show in the Midwest (mind you, I'm from Ohio). Picture a jovial gray haired fellow wearing hickory striped bib overalls. Always with group of people around him, asking him questions, and or just enjoying his company.

 

[rodriguezpoultry]

I know what the third bird is.

Cornish. That comb along with the giant girth of the head...BAM. Plus the fact she kind of looks like a Cornish in body structure! LOL

My word -- the knowledge you all have in discussing these pics is a beautiful thing, and amazing, too.

Me? I'm just lusting after the gorgeous birds. What a fine, fine job. I bow.

You are correct Sir (or Madam),

Care to go double or nothing on the name of the breeder in the striped overalls, one of the best Cornish men of all time.

Arg...I know who you're talking about...I REALLY do but gosh if I know his name..LOL!

I try to keep to the Asiatic end...LOL!

It's Madamoiselle!

But...idk...I'm so far away from your area. Over here it's Marvin McGeeHee that's the big Cornish breeder, but I know I've seen a guy in overalls petting a cornish...

Henry something?
