Wo
wow thanks for the pics. See my line that I am working with has brahma like four or five gens back and therefore my genetics are all over the place. I'm at the point ware I'm not sure to stick with it or to say to heck with it. The guy I got um from was trying to improve size but in my mind he really screwed up. I think that I would have bread some english orp. Into them to get them bigger but that is just me. I'm getting talis that are like 90 degrees and side springs like crazy also my size and type varies so much it's very frustrating.I actually never bred any of them, either the true blacks or the blues. My blacks were from hatching eggs I got from HinkJC farms and the blues were from a fella on BYC, Rebel Yell. He now has an even better, in fact excellent line of English Blues and sells hatching eggs.
Not sure which you want to see, but I'm supposing blacks? Only have pics of one of the black pullets left I think. This is Sugar at 8 months, a pure black who thought she was Queen of the World. Pic is not good quality and has been blown up. Doesn't really show her sheen either.
You'll notice both the cockerel and this black girl hold their tails way high. Or at least appears to. Made them look super short backed. With age though they got to looking better.
Here's the splash's sisters
Olive
and Pickles
They were the cutest couple of girls ever. But Olive's lacing was not great and that was why I was going to breed to a black. She did have the body type and everything going on though. And not a bit of brown or red leakage anywhere.
