Hi Donna
She is a very pretty pullet.
In my birds I have a rooster I know to be a split and I have two cockerels I hatched this year that I suspect may be S/S. All three have some red leakage, I think the only way I can be certain is to breed them with my S/ females and see if we get all silver daughters. Its not fool proof but with a large number of progeny I should know.
I will post pictures of my silver pullets and cockerels from 2014 when I get a chance.
I have noticed improvement in silver this year over last year, since my best silver this year is cleaner than my best silver last year.
Hopefully my SS cockerel will take me further in the right direction.

Ok I feel dumb.What do you mean by LF? I have blues and black/gold and I want some silvers BAD. Would I be able to get silvers from breeding my blues to something else? If so, what should I use? I was thinking about trying a black/gold barnie with a silver penciled rock... but I'm unsure. You guys have some beautiful birds!I'm so jealous! If you get over run... send em to Oklahoma! lol
That is a really nice looking pullet. I don't know the answer to your question but I am happy to see people working on the LF silver barnevelders. I am hoping to get involved but I am not even sure where to start.
I noticed that Greenfire farms is selling some nice looking bantams. Is it possible to use a bantam roo on some of these project LF silvers? I realize you would have to work on size but they look to be pretty nicely marked.
