Trefoil,,Brad Legg told me this color has no issues,unlike Charcoals. My Taupe male is w/e but as for the hen I need to ask exactly what is in her gene pool.I've added 2 black shoulder silver pied hens with the two Taupe.I've had so many people ask about Taupe chicks,eggs,ect. and find that strange since Legg has Taupes and so does a man in Colorado. You've seen they sell for about $1500 as a yearling pair? $3500 for breeding aged pairs? I don't know if you can get insurance on peachicks with this value?
