This is Blue Boy ( I like Cowboy themes for names)

He is 5 months now and I'm hoping will be one of my main cockerels next season.

Dave he's lovely, very impressive already and only five months! Very, very nice.

Well my chickens had an unwanted visitor last night. No harm done thankfully

Some of this years keepers at 13 weeks old.

Nice Blue Pullet, just loosing the last of her chick fluff
and her lacing should tighten up over the next month or so.






The Jubilee finally has her lacing coming through.






Can't leave out Blue Boy a cockerel I have kept from an earlier batch.












This this guy could be my Dark Laced cockerel keeper
Showing his size next to a Wyndotte bantam.



Another Blue Pullet

OOOOhhhhhhhhh they are all lovely!

I am very jealous. I got ten hatchery Cornish this year- they are truly dismal, like dark cornish coloured leghorns really. The only plus is that they lay lots of small eggs, perfect for pickling. But they are lousy Cornish. Sigh.

Dave, is your jubilee a true double lace with dominant white, or a splash out of your blue birds ?

 

[Dave C]

From a mixed pen so it could be either but my money would be on Jubilee.
As it was pure white for a long time then very slowly the lacing developed and is still developing at 13 weeks old.

And I find that the splash have some very pale blue feathers and develop lacing much earlier.

I like your work with the blue cornish Dave..... Pretty birds man!

 

[Dave C]

Thanks FD, I've followed your impressive White Cornish this season but how are your Dark Cornish doing pal ?

 

[Fat Daddy]

Thanks Dave.... I lost my dark rooster this summer to wild house cat that hung around for a while.... He was my favorite rooster... I gave the remaining hens to a friend. Only have the white cornish and buckeyes now....
