Oooohh!!! BigB- he is kind of like a spangled, with that deep mahogany hackle, which is another of my favorite patterns!!!

Joey has a handsome little tri color mottled roo that he's teasing me with!! Ya'll are going to be the death of me with these gorgeous birds!

I need to give a lot of thought to where I want to go with breeding. I'd like to expand to 3 nice pairs by springtime, and then see where it goes from there. Since I'm limited in space, I need to be very selective. I won't be using my pullet Hedwig for breeding again, unless she throws some above average babies. She's more of my pet than anything else, but she's my only layer to date. I think my mottled roo has potential, he's still young, and will hopefully fill out some more in the next few months. He seems to be a bit slow to mature. Possibly one of those that will come into his own after his first birthday?? Or maybe that's wishful thinking!!

My new white pullet from Cara is cute and typey. I'm hoping to breed her to my mottled roo when she matures. So that's pair #1, ...

Now to think about #2 & #3!!

Ken, thank you for the invite. I sincerely appreciate your hospitality! I will probably miss out on this hatch, just because I'm so slow to make up my mind on anything, and it sounds like your babies get snatched up quickly! But I look forward to pics of your new birds, and babies. You have some new exciting blood in your lines!!

There are a lot of really great people here in CA, doing their best to breed some extraordinary birds to compete with the legends of the east coast. We all have the same objective, and some have more knowledge and experience than others. Some have great stock to start with, others have a longer journey to perfection. It feels good when we are all supporting each other, offering (and accepting) constructive criticism when solicited, and giving respect and encouragement to one another. How about we honor this thread with a new tone, and some solidarity amongst the few of us in this great state? Let's embrace one another as one team, rather than shoot each other down, because really, the last man standing really doesn't win anything.

Jake, sorry to hear about your bird. Bill is right, heat is heat. Even if Jerry had put in the fruit it doesn't mean it would have helped or the bird would have eaten it. It's not that hot here in So Cal right now and Jerry would not ship if he thought there would be a problem so don't be upset with him.

ok so cara gave me 2 ok the ugliest serama hens ive ever seen.....that said she got them form someone else they werent hers just to clear that up..... and how i got them sunday and one of them likes her new home so much she laid one egg and now is the broodiest thing ive encountered....(WORST THAN THAT ONE KATE) and how im crossing fingers im a save some eggs up this week and give her the old switch a roo sunday night and trash her mutt egg.....im so hoping that this works i know i have some great and amazing stock (not that anyone else doesnt) but i just want some lil fuzzy butts to show for it. that said i also decided to open up my eggs that i let go 28 days and well 2 of them i think hit day 18 or later....egg sac was barey there and i was able to distinguish color....one was silvery grey and other chipmunked.....sadly not hatch bright side ALMOST.... hopefully the new genesis will make a difference and this broody....im not a quitter but some days its tough when you stare at beautiful birds and think darn if icould just get some of your offspring....oh the chipmunk looking chick was from my late hen....i still miss her and the silvery one was from my blues..... so kinda cool to see the blue actually throwing blue
