Whoa! What beautiful birds!!!

We have a lone black jap hen and are dreaming of finding a mate for her. Could any other color of japanese be bred to her since she is black? Or I should stick with just black?

Thanks!

Mine lay 4 or 5 a week during the summer, but quit altogether during the winter. They are a cream color and small, I use 3or 4 for a 2 egg recipe. There is a lot of variability in size between hens.
