Nice pics! Congratulations on your win, Sam!

Got a few pics of Rusty and Rufus for comparing the two. Aubrey, tell me, if you had to sell one and keep one, which one would you keep? I love Rusty's deep color, but I like Rufus's comb, but I'm just learning what to look for in this breed and this color; plus, I know they are still quite young and haven't reached their full potential yet. They are 17 weeks old now. Who looks the most promising to you?

Thanks so much! I have always been partial to the Quail color and the Dun are that much more special

Aubrey has some real nice Quail stock for sure

Speckledhen your pics are so nice. I really llike Rufus and I wonder what Aubrey recommends as far as the better of the two.

Thanks! Your pics are always super nice, too. Taking these was a bit hairy because the larger porcelain, Aubrey, kept wanting to flog the camera and Penny kept launching herself onto my back or my arm. He sure thinks he's all that. Rufus is pretty sweet once you scoop him up, silly thing, and I really like his comb. They really are full of themselves, these boys, and the pullets are adorable and cuddly.

Are d'anvers bigger than d'uccles? What's the difference?
