Hi I have been showing and breeding my sumatras. I have blue, black, and splash sumatras.

I am so happy that they have this I have been looking for different blood lines to breed to my sumatras for a very long time.
here are some pics of my hens my roosters are still molting.


her face is light but she has a very large head which is what you want to look for in a sumatra.

really like the splash roo you posted, he looks good to me, like the coloring in him for a splash.

been working with my blue bantams for a while, seems they just refuse to throw a splash for me... haha just my luck, when I want something bad, I make everything but that seems like

I started out with a splash rooster and a light blue hen a black and a very even color blue hen. don't worry you will one day breed out a splash.

We had a similar thing with our duns this year. We bred 2 duns together and had some blacks in the pen too. Loads of duns and blacks (more dun than black) and got 2 khaki chicks which were weak and died within the first few days. I figure I'll wait until he grows up some before I post a pic of the khaki cockerel I got from the trader.
