Most interesting hybrid show we have the results!

Little Red Prince Zane - in the pics he is about18 months to 2 years old. He is from a black silkie roo over BB mille fleur d'Uccle hen and was the most wonderful little roo.

The first pic he is just over a year old, his tail and crest haven't come into their full glory yet

THe next is Cleopatra. Her daddy is Little Red Prince Zane and her mama was also her grandma?! SO black silkie X BBMFD roo over BBMFD hen gives you this little gem. She is my little buddy and has always been very sweet (except when broody when I swear she gets lion characteristics

) She is about 18 months old.

Here is one of the better type girls I have from the SS/BO cross. She is sitting down cause she is insecure outside of her grow out cage. We're getting close to putting her and her sis outside for good.

What a pretty girl. As to the insecure thing....I have had the coop door open for my youngest birds that are now 14 weeks for nearly a week. Finally, three of them ventured past the door by two feet. I'd rather they be cautious: It'll keep them alive like the "chicken eye on the sky" hawk watch thing they do.

I have lost young birds to hawks. I wait till their bigger then put them inside an enclosed pen to raise them up further. We have a very large Racoon population here in the city so at nite everyone gets put up except my one free ranging Black Wyandotte cockerel. He was to be culled but he escaped the sledge and I let him run around. He thinks he is the favored child. Little does he know. Just lucky that no predators have found him at nite.

THanks, we really enjoy these two - though I had to find a new home for Little Red when we moved - so miss him!

He is beyond gorgeous! I have been looking at a lot of pictures of crosses lately, and you know I think they are more interesting and fun than the pure bred types. But this guy is WOW!! So sorry you had to rehome him.

Okay, here's Cloud, my 5 month old pullet. Her father is my white silkie roo and her mother is a gold-laced cochin X black silkie. Her colors are sooo soft and her pattern is remarkably even.

Oops! Wrong parents. She's out of a white silkie and a Sultan. My apologies!

And here's Hoyle, one of the "Gamer triplets," Hoyle, Domino, and Checkers. Their dad is that same white roo, and their mom is a gold-laced cochin (no relation to Cloud's mom). All three of them look so much alike I'm the only one who can tell them apart (it's a mom thing). I think they may be the "rooster version" of Cloud's phenotype.

The pics aren't great ... you can't really see the intense green in his tail or the little flecks of red and green on his body. I'll try to get a better pic this evening (if he isn't too busy romancing all his ladies).
