W0W Those Whites you have look wonderful! I certainly am interested in them.
I am really focused on making these Whites here. I am going to use a Mottled looking pullet only cause she is Silver. And Silvers will negate the yellowing or brassiness in the White plumage.

I have two Mottleds. This one here may not be the best. She has too large a comb. Not as big as I like and too much Silver around the hackles. I am using her with my White Orpington cockerel. I also have her mom. Who is the opposite. Very sparsely mottled. Also not a big bird. But, beggars can not be choosers. I will use her with the White Orpington cockerel also.

Believe it or not I have Cuckoo Lav cockerels. I need to make a Cuckoo pullet, or get one from my breeder who gave me the eggs where my cockerels came from and I can take the Cuckoo pullet to my Speckled Sussex/Buff Orp cockerel to make Cuckoo Reds. We're having to build from the ground up with our birds. And aren't so lucky to have such outstanding breeding stock to work with. Once again minh your care and dedication shows in these pics of your birds. bravo!
In this pic you can get a glimpse of the early July hatch of my Cuckoo Lav cockerels. With these I can make Crele, more Cuckoo Lavs, Lavenders, a whole slew of possibilities.
