She is bantam. She is the same size as our blacks and with her type, she is among the better looking.

Tempting...

Well except we knew we would get platnium crossing blues and duns, not sure who first came up with the color or named it but we weren't the first, maybe the OEGB breeders? We had a phoenix breeder around here that used to name her colors like Lemon Blue Mahagony Brown instead of Blue Golden Duckwing, always loved that.

There is a lady from Texas who has some gorgeous project Ameraucanas. The roos are a red pyle type (don't quite look the same as the OE red pyle) and the hens are wheatens. She calls the color Chestnuts and Snow. She sells her eggs on Ebay.

Yes, very tempting.

I have Red Pyle Phoenix rooster. I did have a hen for him but she died. He is one mean rooster.

That is a great looking rooster.

If ever comes a time you guys for whatever reason need to cull a blue sumatra hen, I'm in Ohio and would love to find another one. So far I have only found chicks which isn't what I want at this time.
