Thanks for your input on color and the other pictures you've been sending. (Disclaimer **My two picks from the flock are strictly on personality, at this point I'm not getting into breeding). I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates seeing your birds.Hey hey! Spartacus looks like he is going to be sporting too much black, but if you are happy with him and he suits your needs, that is what is important. For breeding though, I would go with a cleaner color without so much black. They are looking good and healthy!
I'll enjoy posting more pictures soon! I'll also update everyone on how highly educated they are, since they live in the illustrious District 203. Soon I'll have to sport that bumper sticker that says "I heart my Buckeye Honors Chicken"
