She was hatched from my BCM roo and hen. Right now I don't have anymore photos but I'll try to get more.
This is her dad. Couldn't get a pic of her mom because she kept running away.

This is her again.

I would breed this rooster with every hen you have. You need to get all the chics you can. Get that incubator running. It takes alot of time to hatch, grow them out, wait for the hens until they are 2 years to bred. Then you cull 80% to 90% for egg color and all the other faults. We know nothing until we have alot of chics in the pen. Hatch, hatch and hatch some more! TOM

That’s the plan. Tough right now to collect eggs. I am noticing that egg production is picking up slightly.
