No, but it sounds interesting! Are you planning on trying it?

I've thought about it for a while. It would be interesting I think. @MrsEarthern @Logar

 

[Logar]

That sounds super interesting!

 

[AGeese]

Anyone able to get Le Fleche's?

 

[CombNWattles]

That’s brilliant!!! I would buy them

 

[AGeese]

Yeah, we just need 5 people to commit to breeding.

 

[CombNWattles]

I dunno where I’d put a separate flock…
….maybe they could go in the side yard…. Or the field

 

[AGeese]

Yeah just for getting the breed recognition we would, but anyone can cross em for fun I think.

So my thought is we're going for the horns, and wattles of the Le Fleche, black feathering (though we could have a variety), and the size of the Jeresy.

This guy’s got (or at least had at some point) La Flèche.
