Anybody heard from Lynne lately?

All of these were bred from Mille Fleur parents, I believe 2 different pairs. I am working towards a bantam Calico line. Strange how one is B/W (almost Birchen) right?!?! Opinions? Thoughts??



Beacon @ 14weeks



Birk @ 14weeks



Brick @ 14weeks



Tilly @ 14weeks



Twig @ 14weeks

Here are my 5 week old MFC babies from a different breeder's eggs.



Baby 1


Baby 2



Baby 3



Baby 4

Getting some good color and pattern, now work on getting that type in there. The dark, birchen looking one won;t help you in your breeding program so do not use that. Cute babies!

Yes, we talk on FB. She is tired a lot but is well on her way to getting stronger. This probably will be a year she doesn't do as much hatching but next year she may well surprise us with a lot of hatching since I am sure she will feel tons better than now.

Yes- I hope so. I just haven't heard from her in a couple weeks. Usually we talk a lot but I know she said everything is tough right now. Just making sue she's okay.

Personally I think the more pictures the better I am just getting to know these guys having just come out of quarantine. They are so different from my Silkies. I am loving them . I have just been watching them change and grow up a bit.

I love seeing pics of everybody's birds. It feel it helps you learn m ore about what you want and don't want in the project. SO yes, the more pics the better.

I love your hens. I'm not sure if it is because I don't have with that base color or what. And your buys good as well. Love the dark red on them as well.

I do to, I know nothing about Cochins at this point so am learning about the breed and the color. I dont know wether I will breed towards Mille Fleur or Calico. I will decide that as I gain more knowledge about the Mille Fleur pattern.
