I think she'd produce wonderful 1/2 American 1/2 English babies because she's already so thick and not too leggy.

Opinions?

how are things in TX?
did those lemon boys who headed south turn out to be worth looking at?
i have a bunch of their brothers in the chicken tractor
they are on finish pellets...... most will be at camp soon

starting to get a little cold here
had frost on the windshield when i headed out to take the wife to class
she went in front of the BON but we still havn't heard back
as a back up plan she started a nurses aid class
she will be finished come mid Dec.

I think she's American (maybe some English influence)

I think she'd produce good babies with an imported roo

I like her color. Is she an American split Orpington with English Orpington?

Thanks I'm really not sure... I got them from a breeder and I have 2 other lavs and they're skinny and American looking, but not her. I think she might have some import blood
