Hi Mandy!

I took pics of the Mottled pair that I got from you. Do you think I could enter them in a show in November (cockerel & pullet classes)?

it's a possibility, just depends on how fast they grow out. I think they'll only be about 4 months old so that may be too soon. i like to wait till at least 5 months

Gorgeous bird! I wish I could get some LF brown-reds, so I could work on true lemon-blues. I have some lemon-blue project chicks, but I think they're buff and blue based instead of brown-red based. One of the pullets looks sort of like a brown-red, but she doesn't have the right lacing, and some of the cockerels look a bit like your guy (except blue instead of black), but they have no chest lacing, just solid brown/buff chests. Some of the cockerels do have some back lacing and some shoulder blade coloring.

You can show them but they really are not good examples of mottled. Way too much white. Feathers are supposed to be white tipped Read the SOP. Those birds are nowhere close to the standard.

I have 3 lemon blue cockerels. These guys are 4 months in the picture. I'm on cockerel overload.
