Cheryl, I don't see any bands on the 3 birds in the previous pic...(?) Gosh, that male has the EXACT comb as my oldest cock bird, but I don't think he's my line, is he? VERY interesting!

SPR's, Partridge rocks and barred rock females don't always have yellow legs even before laying. They are yellow enough to pass in a show, but they are not yellow like the males would be.

Walt, I noticed that at the Crossroads show. Seemed that regardless, the pullets AND hens were lighter in yellow coloring than ANY of the males.
 
Hi Cheryl

Love your sppr!

My one remaining hen (from my original sppr flock of four) has holes punched in her toes. I don't know what this means. Should I learn to punch her offspring with a hole pattern? Should this pattern be different for each hen, or for each rooster?

Also, I noticed that my 3 roosters' legs are all quite a bright yellow, while the hens from the same parents have dusky yellow legs. Maybe I'll be able to sex them very early because of this? Or this may be just a coincidence this year.

Bye for now
 
I got Plymouths!
