Here he is with a different hen.
He's not white, but rather a double dun gene which makes him khaki. There's no dominant white in the genetics. The double dun ie khaki dilutes what would usually be black to a creamy look. It's a easy on the eyes color.
If he didn't have the dun color gene, all the area on him that has the creamy color would be black.View attachment 3860008

Coming two year old bantam pair. The rooster is a bit too small and the hen is a bit too big. Hopefully breeding the two will give me several just the right size.

A quad of bantams slightly larger than the accepted bantam size.
The blue pullet is a daughter to the coming two year old cock.
The white and the black pullet are distantly related.

I like their pens too. What's the set up?

Pens are 36” wide, 44” deep and approximately 36” tall.
The whole coop 148” long.
In my opinion the breeding compartments shouldn’t be any smaller for bantam pairs.
Everything except the screws and hinges are repurposed material.

Ok I need something cleared up and this is the newest thread with a khaki and dun discussion in it. I have fawn crele OEGB - is fawn the same as dun and khaki? I've been trying to research it but I'm not coming to a definitive conclusion. Help me make it make sense, LOL.
