Here are some of my Crele Large Old English, this will be my 5Th year of breeding.
I used real BB Red Large OE hens from Rich Baker under Crele bantam OE cocks from Jake Lail.
I only used the bantam male the first year. Size was an issue at first and I still have a few throwbacks but
for the most part they are getting more Standard weight now. The females are the best show birds at this point
I still have some color issues with the males. I still cull for size and type first but this year I will cull the males harder
for better barring and white in the sickles.
I think Crele is the most striking pattern and looks best on a Large OE. I have been raising about 75 every year but will probably raise about 100 this year
