Hi guys, I have a few chicks that I have absolutely no idea what they are and a full grown bantam roo ho is absolutely beautiful and I'd really like to get some LF versions of him. Any idea what these are? The one in the back is a SLW but what is this brown one? Single comb with pink earlobes. These two have similar brown color but rose combs. This is the mighty gorgeous bantam roo.
Thanks. All the chicks are LF. That's a bummer about the bantam. He is so beautiful, but he crows something awful! High pitched squeak at 4 in the morning every day. Sounds like someone is strangling him. I kept thinking he would get better at it but he never did. I had hoped to get LF to have some where the crowing was tolerable. It grates on the ears. Guess that's not going to happen.
On your rooster, you could get a couple different breeds with a similar look. They wont' be exact, but a blue Wheaton Marans or Ameraucana would be a similar coloring. So would a blue-red Leghorn. Again, not exact but those are a couple places to start looking for a large fowl counterpart with a similar look.
Thanks, I was actually just looking at marans thinking the same thing! And I've been wanting to get some Ameraucanas in the flock too.
