Is this still running? I've read the rules so I hope I'm doing this right! Here are three pics of Alesha, by buff Brahma Colombian bantam. She is approximately a year old. Joanne

 

[hdowden]

yes it is....is she blue instead of black??? like a buff blue Colombian if so where did you find here that is a very pretty color.

 

[JetBlackJo]

Well I am in the UK - I bought her from a local supplier. I am quite a novice - I just fell in love with her and bought her, along with Whitney, my Light Sussex. The feathers around her neck are quite dark - more like the lowest picture, but her tail feathers are more "blue" - well, a soft grey.

 

[hdowden]

hmmm i wonder if anyone here in the states know how to develop this color or if it is already here. i would get more like her

shes just so pretty to have only one (well for me at least

)...well it's hard to say what color the tail and hackles are some would say gray, some blue, and others lavender lol

 

[JetBlackJo]

Yes, she is lovely! The supplier has some more at the moment, including a rooster, but I can't have a rooster where I live, so I wouldn't be able to breed from her anyway. Also my husband says if I get any more chickens he'll divorce me! LOL!

 

[hdowden]
