Oh Linda, I am so excited for you! What great news! Congrats!!

I've got to admit that I'm thrilled to pieces.

I especially wanted the silver gene in the Blosl. The XW doesn't have it.

x2 Congrats Linda that is so wonderful!

This will give me one Blosl pullet and 2 XW pullet's. This will get me a nice start on my program. Pumped.

Does anyone know where I can buy silver grey dorking or some ancona or another heritage breed, I want a breed that needs help, I would like them to be good quality not hatchery. Thank you

I would like to essentially reiterate this post! Except, I'm pretty sure I've honed in on the Dorking as the breed I'd like to focus on. I don't have a color preference, though I'm leaning toward rose combs - I'm certainly open to suggestions and arguments for or against. I don't want to start with hatchery stock as I'm sure there must be breeders who have already progressed beyond that quality! Short of ebay, I'm at a loss as to where to obtain eggs - I would like to hatch them out myself if possible.

Thanks for "listening" and considering!

Both are on BYC.

Silver Grays and Reds have single combs. I believe Reds are available in rose comb, but are not accepted as a standard variety.

What do you all think about using this for conditioning pens? Prior to a show, to protect the feathers and keep the bird clean.
It's 5 ft wide. Top 2 cages are 30 x 30 x 30. The bottom part is one cage. The blue grates are removable floors.

Those are cool! You would need shavings and some way to hold them in, but otherwise, I think they would be mighty fine.

The cages look good to me. Easy to clean, nice smooth sides all around and the fact that the wire front is rounded wire and smooth, it shouldn't damage tail feathers too much.

Those are Veterinary grade kennels. Where did you get them? Nice kennels
