Lucky you to have a dark Brahma! Gosh they are so lovely. Where did you get her? I have tried to get them around here but none to be found.

Other than Performance there in Carrying Place….

That's where I got them!

This is one of the most colorful birds and one of my most favorite roosters I have ever owned. Absolutely gorgeous boy, Blaze.

His feathers are really handsome. What is he? And are those irridescent black feathers or blue/grey feathers?

I believe he is an Ameraucana mix of some kind. He looks pretty close to being a full Ameraucana, but I don't think that is the case especially since I got him from someone who hatched him from a local farmers flock. They weren't sure what breed he was.
They are iridescent black feathers. He is actually similar to a Red Breasted Black pattern but has added colors here and there, such as the gold that shows in certain lighting in his hackles.
I love blue/grey feathers!

A very handsome boy. I love blue feathers, too, but I also appreciate some shining irridescence.

Oh I really need to get me some

Now did you tell me this before and I just forgot?

Maybe I’ll make the trip there for some this Spring….. not that I need more chooks. Ok you talked me into them

Aw, the Rouen x are really pretty!
I have some Appleyards, and I absolutely love them!

Wow handsome boy!

This is so hard to capture. My BJG go irridesent green/blue, but my Black Sumatra goes purple, catching him in particular in the right light and at the right time for a shot feels like I'm on a safari.

Cloud cover will give the best chance at getting those iridescent gleams.
