Who has these birds now? Did they lay a nice white egg? The hen pictured at top, I can see leghorn, dorking, and rock in her based on her type, I can see parts of them in her

I dont know who is getting the birds, they are still in progress so they are not all laying white eggs yet.

I have been reading this thread and keeping to myself.
I thought everyone was giving up on these birds.
It would be nice to see these birds make a comeback.
The white is very nice, but even the peach would make the birds hard to forget.
The lacing is very nice.
Has any progress been made lately?
I would definitely be interested in a few eggs/chicks if someone is on the east coast.​

I posted some pics on the previous page of some birds from this year.

How is their temperament? How big do they get? And how close to the originals are they?​

they were exhibited at the illini show in belvidere last fall. Jeff Halbach was the judge, they were declared Lamonas. and won high awards , dont think they took any champions , but were the buzz of the show

 

[surnikis]

they are large , as large as any exhibition white rock with temperment about the same.

Well I took what I thought to be the best trio of my fathers flock. After educating my self over the past five months about a project I had no involvement in while he was living, am very proud of what my dad accomplished in the six or so years he worked on them. Personally I believe they have great type and are at the standard weight. I am looking to improve on lobe color, head and comb consistency and pureness of feather
