Very nice photo, my preference is the right one also. Better type. But I am not sure if that is a real bird, because your cumputering skills are incredible, lol. Piet

Piet, I took this with my iPhone, photoshop was not used in the creation of this bird!

Where can I get a copy of the egg color chart that was referenced?

Sorry about your Roo Amy, I hope your family enjoys a nice enchilada dinner this spring.

I too prefer the bird on the right type wise. I look forward to seeing your progress in reducing the peppering. I have my eye on a couple of cockerels in my flock, but I'm not sure if they will have enough red in them.

The egg color chart is still a work in progress. The WCNA has been working on this. Can't wait to see it when it's done.

I wish you the best. You should have seen my first attempt at breeding. I had some pretty funny looking birds. But I learned a ton. ( It was with trying to breed Chanteclers, they were funny looking because the Welsummer Roo kept jumping into they honeymoon suite and managed to have a few descendants of his own.)

Some birds know no boundaries so funny but i bet it wasnt funny when it happened!

I admired his vigor and he jumped/flew over a three and a half foot electric fence!

Just placed an order for some Welsummer chicks from Whitmore farm in MD. Have had birds from them in the past and been happy with egg color. Faverolles are still my favorites but the Welsummers have always been a close second.

Anyone else have birds from Whitmore?
