Ok, one last question. Do you have any barred hens for sale? i have a barred roo, who I'm pretty sure is homozygous for barring, but I only have solid hens to put him over. I'd love to have some barred ones. I have a few that I just hatched, but they're only about 6 weeks old.

Not a great pic, but here's my boy:

Your boy is lovely & doesn't carry any of the black that mine does. Sure hope that black goes away soon

Sorry but I don't have a extra hen available. I'm in the process of hatching, too, but it will be Fall before I know what I have to sell.

I'm mostly looking for buffs to breed my barred buff to. I think I am going to end up with 3 roos! LOL Only time will tell

OH and eggs are best for me....less expensive to ship

The first (and only) set of these I've ever hatched gave me 4 chicks - ALL roos!! I was stupid at the time and sold 3...I should have kept more to try and diversify. Sigh. Now I'm breeding back to solid buff and ALL of the chicks I've hatched so far are barred, so I'm pretty sure the roo is homozygous for the barred gene. I keep trying to come up with the person's name I got the eggs from, and she's on here, but I just can't remember.

It has been 2 years though.

wwmicasa - I'll definitely take a batch of eggs from you. Just let me know when they're available and I'll PayPal you.
