Nah really cause I shown pretty much all mine ( at least the ones I feel are worthy ) several times so the next batch of pics will be of new hatches of this spring.

Gotcha

That whitehackle cross stag I showed above has like a milky white and the Kelso hen is like zero pigment white. And before u get all technical centra that's the best way I can splain it with my basic self. Lol

Looks like a bit of barred rock in that bird.

Yeah I'm sure there is barred rock is in most my roosters to get the barring in capes and saddles along with many other breeds for color

Good grow out for 7mo must be the freerange.

In hand it is easy to tell they are not filled out. Feathering on that guy came in a little faster than average and he cocked out at only 5 lbs 8 oz. He was also on the plus side of 7 months which does make a difference. Most are a little slower and all require a solid 16 to 18 months to reach full frame and weight with that having to take place in pens. I has been a long-time since I allowed full maturation free-range but the feathering is hard to beat with such birds. I think the total free-range makes for better feathers that even tie-cording. Nutrition.

It has been a while but my brother had some white-legged birds that seem to be a variant on the blue. I also have seen the pink-legged but all examples where older than the hills. I was wandering if the white becomes pink with age.

The father of the flarry eye cross chick i'm raising has white legs. The two hens with him have blue
And the chick I'm raising has blue

The white-legged birds my brother had may have had Flarry-Eyed Gray in their background.

This is the mess you get when you cross games with regular breeds. This cowboy likely has some dom in him. ( not done by me)

Your starting to convince me now. Bet they would just love getting plucked.

The ones I've seen in person are cool looking but didn't have any gusto but I guess that's possible with every breed.
