She looks like a lovely splash.

Thanks for sharing! Is there a certain color you like best? I think the buffs are still my favs, but I really enjoy working with the many other color varieties as well. They're quite addicting.

I like them all but if i had to choose i would have to go with Lavenders and blues.
Ok here are some better pics. I hope

Nice looking young birds everyone.
No more culling till we get warmer weather and I can finish growing some more out.

I decided I have yet to have the perfect Black Orp cockerel to use this coming year. I have a few younger boys who are showing some promise. BUT, I need to just focus on one trait at a time.
That means Boss Hogg is at the top of the pecking order for the newbi cockerels to be used.
The Hogg is not perfect. However I do see some traits I can use. he will be paired up with my best tail females.
For now the Hogg is good to go and breed

This Black cockerel on the left, is showing some promise for a youngster of 6 months old

KORgo and another young man

Bill - I can't believe your chickens come out in the snow like that !! I have to shovel the snow out of my runs before my birds will even come out of their coop. What's the trick ?
