Thanks Kev, do sell hatching eggs! Haven't started to separate some of the colors yet. Am working on 2 new colors . My favorite new color is orange barred gonna take several years and 4/5 generations to get consistency

What, if you don't mind telling, are you using to make the orange barred with?
I have what I'm calling a red barred but he is closer to orange that red. What would I need to mate him with to create the orange barred?

Obviously barred but I have a partial orange rooster that I am crossing back on barred hens. Then will recross back . And add in different barred bloodlines and a couple of buffs

So those buff-red hatchery hens are good for the crossings?

Way cool. What's the other new color?

Right now I am waffling between hatching eggs from a left over hen(kept as great setter/mother) from BLR NN project I'd dropped. She's more "gold laced" and the lacing is okay.. happen to have a BLRW cockerel with good red color and lacing... she just started laying.. Hmm.

6 count 'em 6. Three are naked necked and three are non naked necked. The 3 NN's are from

Out of a Buff Rock or Orpington cross hen. Watching them grow.

The 3 full feathered ones are from a Golden Cuckoo crossbreds hen by the same rooster pictured above. Afraid they are all cockerels they are the only three fully feathered I kept. They were all a deep red ( almost a maroon looking color) with head dots but I felt they were worth watching. I'm not sure if they are Sexlinked crossed or not. So I don't know if you can go by the head spot or not.

All these chicks 9 if them are all by one rooster:

Not sure if it is the proper color name but I call him Blue Copper..
He was in the run with a Birchen, Blue ( I don't think she is laying), Blue Copper, Columbian, Golden Laced, and White hens.
All turned out black or blue colored ( may develop red later), except one White with a tad bit of black mixed in.

KEV your avatar has the sweetest face, I just had to tell you that. Is it a bow tie showgirl?

Turken/EE cross update pics! Now 6 weeks old. These chicks don't know the meaning of the word 'calm'!

Is it normal for them to feather out so slowly? 1 is much more developed than the others!

Beautiful! My nn/ee is feathering slower than my other nn and the rest. Especially up around the "shoulders".
