Lol! You and me both. I have tried duplicating him, but don't own Brabanters or Spitzhaubens. He was a seriously ugly chick, and now I keep hoping to hatch out a seriously ugly chick. I came close with one boy but he had tears on his chest instead of hearts. Back to the drawing board.

Wow, he is just beautiful! I have never seen anything like it.

Thank you! I miss him...just yesterday, I was telling my much smaller Pekin duck baby that I love his eye, but it was nothing like Sammy's Navy Blue eyes were...Just beautiful! Hope he's happy in Florida now! I would be...NJ is still too chilly 44 degrees out right now.

EE Rooster-Standard size One year old. How is this even possible? And I thought dogs with 2 different colored eyes were cool?! Amazing! "TwoTone"

I said it because I didn't see a pea comb,muffs around face,the right looking tail feathers,and body style, but it might be you never know with hatcheries

He has a pea comb, at least from what I have read and compare, but I completely agree with you about the "tale-tell" muffs (or lack of his). I have read sometimes they don't have them, though. His tail feathers cascade more than what is in the photo. I think he was lifting up his caboose as he swallowed a drink of water.

What body style would you typically be looking for? He has shiny and point saddle and hackle feathers ( like I mentioned a coppery, vibrant, orange).
I'm interested to see what his offspring will look like, and wether they will carry the blue laying gene.
