I wouldn't mind some Blues!!!
I am learning how to do that... been using the Chicken Calculator and reading on the Forums!

Eventually I would like Splash and Lavender as well

If you take a good splash rooster and cross them with the black hens you will get all blue chicks.

Went down to minus -2 last nite. Brought in a few of the birds and took pics to compare with.
I think there maybe some interesting options for breeding this year.
This is the Blue I like. And plan on taking him to these couple of pullets. Never know what to expect.

Since he is so lite a color and not well defined lacing, I am going by the book and take him to only Blacks this year.
little BUStina

one more Black pullet I like
LarriOnOff "Larri"

She has some size.

For a more UK look I may take this cockerel back to the first pullet.

Here's my new Buff Orp Roo he's 9 mo. old and still in isolation. Private stall new white sand. I posted pic's of my hen back some time ago.

May I ask, what is he in isolation for ? Is he new, and he must be checked out for health issues afor being integrated into the flock ?

Here is a better pic of my roo keep in mind he is still maturing. Unfortunately I was completely wrong and my black pullet is not a pullet and now mr. blue has to go. Anybody want a shipped rooster lol?

ETA How does he look? What do you guys think of him?

He had been treated for leg mites with vasoline. Not working. I treated him again with ivermectin, so far so good no signs of it. Even if he didn't have anything I would still isolate him or any other bird that wasn't hatched on my property just as a precaution. You can't be to carefull.

ibeier2000 boy he sure stands out against that sand! What a pretty run he has. Pretty guy too.

Thank you. The stalls 12x12 so he has plenty of room. The hens free range and they can see each other between the boards of the barn. He's real shy cause the flock he was in had a alpha EE roo that beat up on him every chance he got. Thats why he was rehomed. I can't get to close to him duiring the day but I try to spend time in his stall every day plus he gets treats that the rest of the flock does. To treat his legs my son got him off his perch at night and I did the dirty deed. He was quite calm and seemed to enjoy the warm water. Hope to let him free range with the rest of the girls soon.

Are you sure he's a pure Buff? He looks a bit orange like a NH, IMO.
