I know! That's why I used it.......I really like the classic look. Feathery, but not too much. Round little basket ball of chickeny goodness.....

 

[wilds of pa]

I agree on loving that classic look as well.

This is a print I seen from the 1890's. I think it is very much like crossing one of todays APA bird with a UK bird. I like the higher tail, broader chest, and fluffier skirt

I love the look of one of my Splits- I'd love to get a female who looked much like him with legs a bit shorter:

This is Fitzwilliam. He's gargantuan.

You should pat yourself on the back, as should Sarah- he's from the first stock I got from her in September. He's got his own harem with stock from other flocks, and soon I'll have Joy's fabulous English blood to mix in there. (rubbing hands diabolically...) Muwhahahahahahaha!!!

The mad chicken-genetics scientist at work....hahahahaha!!

You should see what all I've got going on with Orps...it'd make a sane man's head spin. I can't help it. I'm obsessed.
