Bronze & BS cross = What????????? Should I buy ?

The one in the cameo, the birds turn blind also. This is not the case in the bronze, didnt know it was found in any other color.

Hey chicken zoo.
I'd get one or 2. Check the price of a Bronze Blackshoulder! With these having the possiblity of throwing some for you, you will be getting very high dollar chicks out of a bird you paid $15 for! Priced several bronze bs this year, they were averaging $500 a pair for 3-5 month old chicks!
See ya

I'd forgotten about "Cameo Lethal White".. The other cases I knew of did not turn blind either, just got whiter and whiter with each molt much like the first bronze did. One bird eventually turned almost all white except his head and upper neck stayed Blue(it was an IB). Seems very uncommon in any case though..

Of course if I had a whitening bronze, I'd cross it with a Blue and other colors to see if any of the offspring or chicks from F1 cross develop whitening, independent of bronze.

Well they will give us a great deal if we take all 9, so I guess I'll have some extras, he he...
