Thanks for updates

Hopefully more up some as I get other pens done and setup. Hat a great hatch last spring and raised some nice birds.

Just reaching out to see if there’s any other Fawn Red O.E. breeders out. Would like to compare notes on breeding this color.

Hi there, I just came across your thread. I have chicks about to hatch that are fawn red with blue red. Have you ever bred this combo?

You may have just helped me solve a color question I've had about a bird for years. The red and white ones on page one, those are called fawn red sports, correct?

Yes they are. They look a lot like a dirty Red Pyle

I had a phoenix male (though our thought is the line I brought in was 'contaminated' with a bantam game of some sort) that looked remarkably similar to those males. We had to put him down this year and never got sons from him that looked the same, but this gives me hope of finding birds that at least looked like he did in the future. I've tried for years to figure out his coloring and it didn't help that his pictures never looked 100% like he did in person to show genetic people.

The hens in the attached image, are they dun or khaki? Or is fawn completely different?

In the one pen they are Fawn reds which carry the dun gene
