Thanks for the Info. My Male was Considerably Darker than any Others of His I have Seen. Actually to Dark to Show, But His Tail is Near Perfect and he Throws Good Standard Color Cockerels and nice Dark Pullets.

Not hard to post. Just hiton the Pic icon, and it will walk you through. I'm amazed that your bird is dark. I've seen no evidence of that. The birds I have that are pure Marc's imports are all rich gold to the roots, and they do not fade. Neither do my crosses with SOP birds. I sent Marc 2 pullets because he wanted some of this trait.

Monty is about 18 months old now . I have lots of his grand kids out.I sent Marc almost POL pullets in early Jan. of last year.. It is possible you have birds out of them.They would have been bred back to their grand sire.

An interesting looking bird. I am guessing he is not lavender... Because of the lacing and darker barring, and he does not have a lavender parent. I thought he was neat looking though.

Thank you both!

Christabelle, you said your favorite is Mauve ? Would you consider her Mauve? She also had the same Choc Cuckoo Rooster + Blue Hen combo (sister of the one I have on sale )
