Lovely Blacks aveca, I especially like your hen. I've grown partial to the Blacks, having a Splash roo my birds only produced Blue & Splash offspring this year, I'm wishing now that I had a few Black chicks growing out.
Next year...
Next year...

Have very slowly been sort of working through this thread. Found these very young and unfinished kids and thought they seemed awfully interesting from the APA point of view. I do thoroughly admire the European type as well. Like two different breeds. But back to these guys. Remind me of young Marcus Davidson stuff. I'm lucky enough to have had a friends who had birds direct from Mr. Davidson and have always paid a lot of attention to the buffs especially though I've owned Cecil Moore whites long, long ago. These look really promising in many ways and since I'm being impatient wondered what has been going on with this line. I too believe in the usefullness to a breed in keeping distinct lines. New blood needn't be added willy nilly but with distinct families someone has some options if needed or wanted. I rather like these particular big buff options. If something here requires a less than public response I can be reached at [email protected].

Definitely alot to still work on with these Buffs. Their still young. I leanred last year to not judge a bird till they hit 8 or 9 months ole. Even then you maybe giving away a better bird then you originally intended. That is how I felt when I gave away for nothing their daddy. I am sure the lady who has him will be happy.
I am happy that I am proceeding forward with this line. ALOT of folks asked me WHY? I seen a show on HISTORY Channel the other nite talking about how, in AG, everyone uses what everyone else has. Same thing in Exhibition chickens. Well over half of the folks out there want the line of Buffs that routinely is placing well in show. I like that line too. But, I like Doug's line as well. Doug's line is very unique. He does not like to selll anything that has to be shipped. OR eggs. And the Captain's line is equally rare. I have a suspicious that Buff line MAY have some Coulter blood. His birds were huge too. So I am happy with these guys.
Was surprised that THE show winning line being discussed wasn't Doug's. At least here in the Mid West I always think of him and his well raised, quality type buff Orps. Since I don't get out much am wondering what the line considered to be routinely winning is if it's not Doug's? [email protected]

Aveca, I am just so happy you are enjoying them and pleased that others liked them at the show too. It sounds like you all had a great time. I wish I could get away to go to shows too, but am just as thrilled to hear our friends are doing well with our birds. Thanks so much for your kinds words!
Cheryl, my blacks are in moult but hopefully when they come back into lay we can get you some more blacks orps like your Oprah. I know how much you adored her.
