Thanks. It's too bad they're siblings. If they weren't, I'd probably breed them together. He's got a bit of excess black in his hackles, and she's a slightly lighter shade of red with little black in her hackles, so it would most likely balance the black in their offspring. I have another nice pullet from the other family that I think will make a good partner with him, and another cockerel that should work good with the pullet in the picture.Gosh, they're both extremely beautiful birds! He's really, really fantastic. I'd be very proud to own them.
Thanks to you. He's the longest, and largest of 5 cockerels. His brother seems to be coming along, so I'm going to hang on to him to see how he finishes out. I'm culling 2 of the 3 cockerels from Champ, so I'll only have one cockerel from that family. Yes ma'am, these are birds from the test eggs.He is handsome. Some of my boys have nice long backs but pictures don't show it well either. Were these the test hatch eggs? I have a lot of really nice birds growing out. I recently sold the rest of my Sex-Links so now I have an open coop and pen so time to sort some more.
