Haha, nice to see more people with Cornish.I raise the Bantam Dark Cornish out of some really good show stock. I also am working with a friend Bud Alston (Budsbirds.com) on a silver laced Cornish bantam.I have 2nd generation and he is on the 4th generation. I have had bantams for 35 years (off and on).They are great birds and generally mild birds.Good stuff,good luck on your your birds.") Larry

Larry I think that silver lacing would look awesome on Cornish. Is it single or double lacing?

I remember seeing single laced silver bantam Cornish in the show coops at a Ohio National way back late 80's early 90"s maybe. Probably a Cornish national meet. They looked pretty good, have never seen any since.

It is a single laced ,a silver laced wyndotte and a dark Cornish.We do get some double lacing but try and cross it with a partial laced bird. Bud has some awesome looking birds at 4 th generation.

I am very glad to hear that, I am hoping my Cornish will be good broodies too. Are those her chicks or another hen's eggs that she hatched?

It's good she's done so well on her first try. I've heard of some broodies that murder their own chicks........... so she's a keeper for sure!!!
