Where is the meeting - is it part of a show?

It's just a few of us from the EOF getting together. Canada and Virginia meeting at the Cracker Barrel in Richmond.

Thanks... it sounds like you have quite of a challenge with 3 colors. I think I am going to stick with one flock of Marradunas.

Marraduna is a color variety of the EO. The white variety is called Zilara. The Black is Beltza. Gorria is the red, there are 2 other varieties. A naked neck variety lepsola and another one that is supposed to be extinct the llidona. I think I got the names correct or at least close They are working on Gorria in Canada. Marraduna is the only variety in North America that we know of. I am working on Beltza and Zilarra along with the Marraduna.

I'm not really selling many chicks of other breeds this year. As of right now it's been mainly EO's.
As far as to Cheryls question I used a couple non yellow legged Roos to yellow legged females because they looked the best in body.

Maggiesdad had a good quote. It went something like this, "build the ship, then paint it"

your pullets look nice too. Looks like the barring on the cockerel's tails is really nice. good color over all and nice thick legs!
