that is a nice little blue hen, I like the fact you can see the lasing in the hackle rather than a black hackle..

Question. Are there spangled rosecombs? And if not, how common BB Red rosecombs?

 

[cns2782]

Spangleds arent in the Bantam Standard and The SOP only recognizes three varieties, black blue and white. You can go to katherine Plummers site and see pictures of her BBReds. www.rosecomb.com I have two BBred pullets and here is the cockerel im going to breed to them.

That birds color is way off for a bb red. He has no wing bay, wing bow is virtually nonexistent, and saddle and hackle color is way off. Seriously, there are only three recognized varieties? With the ABA or APA or both?

Yeah I know Im just saying this is the color I am going to breed back to them. He is a cross between a black and a BBred to help improve the type in them. He is more of a brown red but not really...

That was my guess on his color. Very nice typed bird, and very nice feather width.

Im excited to see if I get any decent colored birds from this cross. I also thought about crossing him with a blue and see what comes out just to play around a bit lol

He is a brown red, at least in pattern and appearance, there are several working on them. You may get some additional Bb red if he is actually a cross of Bb red and Black.
