Alright, I know just who I'm getting my wheatens from. . .

Will you be focusing on both Blue Wheatens and Wheatens?

 

[Illia]

I will be focusing primarily on Blue Wheatens. I'll be keeping one Blue Wheaten cock over a bunch of Wheaten or Blue Wheaten hens. . . I'm planning on getting some more eggs from other really good breeders, and keeping the hens out of those. (since they're all strictly wheatens anyway)

AWESOME! You go girl!!!!! Get those Wheatens out there!!!! You are going to use that spectacular Blue Wheaten boy you have now. right? I hope so....he is an strikingly NICE BIRD!!!!!!

 

[Illia]

Yes indeed, I will be using him. I just really hope in another year he will fill out a little more and look truly like a handsome hunk.

Just a thought, Does anyone have a wheaten male that does not have the cottonball fluff where back and tail connect . Don

Don, thanks for the reply. I'll be crossing mostly likely only two different lines next year in order to start my flock.

I just wanted to say, I'm absolutely in love with this thread. I hope it grows into something great everyone!

Pink, I have seen several at shows and have not seen one yet though without the cottonball, Do not know for sure but would think it would have something to do with too light of undercolor on the Males. Don

Can you explain just exactly why the cottony fluff is a no no?
