what does it mean when you've got "ovation" on this site?

heres my newest acquisitions a pair of Light Brahmas that are about 10 weeks old





as you can see the hen is so far all white, im hoping she will stay that way and that she produces a white son so that i can start a white Brahma line... how cool would pure white brahmas be

what do ye think of these chicks? do they have good type etc?

My light Brahma pullet who I WAS going to show this weekend just broke a wing feather and pulled another. Guess I have to move onto the next pullet.

Hopefully she doesn't flip out while I'm washing her or I'm destined to fail. The other hen and the silkie did just fine. Still have to wash the two Leghorns and the two male Brahmas I'm bringing.

Interested in how the show went??

Didn't think blue and black would be discussed here, but there's some weirdness goin on with that gene lately. I know two breeders personally who have had blues come out of black to black pairings and one person online has reported it. Three different breeds. Someone really good with genetics, what has been overlooked with that blue genetics?

Interesting, was not aware of this. Any theories being floated on what is going on ? One of the side effects of GMO corn ? Just kidding, kind of.

Tim, Tim, Tim .....

You're gonna get us in trouble.

Sorry about that. I was just lulled into a coma by all the mind numbing, recent posts. I'll try to be a "big boy"! The Brahma forum at SBB is dead and mostly head patting here, I miss Brahma talk. Sorry.

I have about 100 birds growing out. I may go broke feeding them! Some look very promising. I have a larger grass grow out pen this year. I'm letting them mature more before I have to make culling choices. How are your birds looking?

A couple of Light Bantam roo'lets.

None of them have any idea. And of course when asked everyone says the same thing, "that's impossible". I always thought blue genetics were super simple but am struggling to explain that happening so at this point I'm willing to believe a weird color popping out of nowhere.

I'm still trying to figure out what all I have. I think my Light Bantams are mostly "roo'lets" I have quite a few Buff bantams growing out. Trying not to count. Also, 12 LF Lights from two hatches. They are very slow to feather, but I haven't had any picking (YET).

The 3 Buff pullets from the Buff x Light breeding are the oldest. Interesting to note that they have no white whatsoever. I have pure Buffs with some juvenile white tipped feathers.
