& its purpose?

Cuts down on picking. Helpful in slow to feather Cochins.

A peeper.

It prevents fighting and pecking on other birds. Does not harm the bird.

dak You have some very good birds coming along!

A few of the Columbians I have been able to save this year. I have let them run outside all day for months to try to determine the ones that will yellow and I have been culling those. Hoping it helps the quality greatly as I plan to continue doing this for 3 years minimum.

Thank you.

While pattern took a hit, I think some improvements have been made. This is the original GLC cock from Mr. Doerr I started with. The "grandsire". He had a rather stiff, high tail , I disliked.






One of the Black x GLC split cockerels. His "son".

Beautiful, and good thing they don't come in large fowl or I'd have to add a pen.

The columbians are looking very nice Craig. Just an observation but from the pictures they seem to have very nice deep, broad heads which really sets them off in my opinion. Keep up the good work.
Oh and there are large columbians out there in small numbers for you LF addicts.

Beautiful Columbians and very nice GLC!
I'm partial to Columbian but mine are Wyandottes.
