Wow, he's a keeper! Congrats!!

 

[chasehope]

I dont have any girls like him!!! I am hoping I will this spring!!! I have attached a few pictures of the girls that I do have...they are said to carry the wheaton gene, so I am hoping to straighten up their color with the new guy! (who needs a name by the way). I was lucky and found him on Craigslist, even though the seller is on BYC as well!

Remember when we were talking about long backs and low tail sets? I now have two pullets that are holding their tails higher!!

The third girl is a bit bigger than the other two, but looks like she is growing into her back too!

I hope he makes you dark egg laying babies... NICE girls.

thanks geebs! I am excited about using him. I have been quite obsessed since I got the girls in August about finding a feather shanked boy, and I was getting discouraged! I may be in business now!!! Oh, wait, the girls havent layed an egg in 5 weeks...I guess I will have to wait a while to open!!!

Well, looks like he was well worth the drive. The girls are lovely too!

Chasehope Only us crazy chicken folks would drive a million miles for a hairy legged guy!!!! I have done it myself... Isnt' the drive back GREAT!!!! You will have to post the new hatchies next month or so when you have some... Not a lot of folks with that color... I kinda regret getting rid of it... They are sooo nice and big.
