Speaking of Wheaten based birds from MF pens. . . Last year I hatched a group of wheatens from my MF project. After a lot of discussion on line, the conclusion is that they were "Blue Silver Wheaten with Red". Some of the hens have more complete breast lacing and others are nearly clean breasted. The have blue columbian hackles and tails. They are quite striking, even if not recognized. This year I've put together a breeding pen of them and have been trying to stabilize the color a bit. Current chicks are a bit young yet, but I'll try to get some adult pics together to post. Dave

So this morning I was outside doing my horse horses and Dewey was doing his duck chores (we had 2 drakes dropped off at our house Sunday on top of our own 14 ducks and 3 geese). I checked in on the grow out pen that is way to full for any birds' comfort. I decided I'd sell the MFCs off and get out of them. Three minutes later, I look at Dewey and I say I can't because I like them to much.

On the wheaten subject...


I had this one hatch out last year. Her father is Byron (MFC x BC) and her mother is my visibly black tailed buff, Bridgette. I have had some odd babies from this combo - including the one in my avatar - and some that are hatched with mottling, but it disappears as they grow out.

This is my 5 month old roo that I would like opinions on.... He has the best shape of all the Roos hatched this year, but the darkest colors too.
