Wow! Very nice, You have done a great job my friend.

Chooksman, I am so glad you helped me. Now that the pullets have filled out and the hens are past their molt. I don't think I would have been able to pick from the 7 Blue Coppers. White band is younger than Ruby and Jade.

That's great! It's good you have someone to work with in your breeding program. I hope the cockerels work out well for you all.

there is so much heavy lifting can not be done by just one person ,need a group of breeders to establish good blood lines .
I m happy about that .have few good peoples working with them .
