Do you want LF or bantams? Either way there are some excellent breeders down your direction. It wouldn't be a walk to the neighbors, but reasonably close if you're going to have them shipped. I'm guessing you're looking for LF, if that is the case Tom Roebuck has some of the best and he's in Virginia I believe; his user name is cochinman2005 here on BYC.

Hey, NellaBean is that one or two blue Mottleds in the bunch?

That one in the back is sure a gorgeous lady!

Well, alright, there are quite a few that are totally beautiful!

Okay, okay, I love them all!!

2 blue mottleds. The one in the front right is the one I got from you. The one in the back right that you can barely see in the pic is the girl who came with cowboy.

Oh, I so hope this blue Mottled girl I have growing up looks like her beautiful sister! Guess who Cowboy would get to meet? That poor roo is going to be so over bred, he will die with a smile on his face!

I like that hen. Is she LF or bantam. Still learning conformation but I do like her. Is she young?

I love her lacey bussel (cushion) that type & color of feather really defines it from the tail.

Mine dont look as fluffy as they could as I cut ALL the feathers out from under their buttts a few months back when the blue one had the gross wound that ended up with maggots from the feathers holding poop to the skin. BLECH. So they are still growing their butt feathers back

Cowboy sure is going to be a happy dude! So glad you are enjoying him! I didn't have the little cockerel pictured here since he was too young to test. He is in with the main flock, learning LOTS AND LOTS of manners from all the ladies and Mr Mottled and is doing just fine and dandy. Since I quarantined him with the hen I got from you, they hang out together a lot
