Rosecomb Thread

[laughingdog]

so the ones without evident crests yet at few monthes are the girls? as the one cross i have has comb characteristics, but small comb compared to waddles, and combs of brother that has straight comb, but cant figure if this one is pullet or cockerel at three monthes..

I was cruising Google Image Search recently and was taken by a photo of a Crele Rosecomb from the UK. Is anyone in the US working on that color? I'm trying to make up my mind about which Bantam breed to go into (I already have LF BLRWs and Silver Spangled Hamburgs) and the only Rosecombs I've found locally are black- lovely birds, still on the top five possibilities when I decide to buy, but Crele: wow!

Here is a link to my web site showing a few varieties of RC's I raise...most are still work in progress. I think I have a pic of my Crele in the album.

Oh, my- I can see that it's a WIP, but a promising one! The Crele and the Blue Splash red, wow. When I buy bantams, they're coming out of the art budget, and going in to a run in what's now an impossible-to-weed entry yard perennial bed, about 25 feet long and eight wide. I'm going for eye candy, but I'd also like to have them be relatively calm and peaceful birds, without a lot of game qualities. I have to get everything else in proper weather and predator proof housing first, and try to build the bantam run before I get them, contrary to my existing "ready, go, set" situation.

i must agree, the blue red splash, is an outstanding red bit id love to see more of it mixed into other rich colored feathers.

Based on my experience, the red on blue red splash varies on individual birds(some have more - some less)..I am assuming the double blue gene has something to do with it.

Recently got to go to the Bennetts place and look at there set up and breeder birds and everything, A SIGHT TO SEE!!!! They have a beautiful set up all together. I have to say I have never seen so many excellent Rosecombs in one place!!!! Well while I was there I picked up a few show pullets I think I came home with 5 pullets and 1 old male. Below is one of the best ones I picked up sorry about the quality of the picture took it on my phone will try and get a few more in the next few days!
