Thanks Randy! I honestly forgot they don't start out whitish/pinkish. My hubby says I never admit when I'm wrong, but it's just not true...

I've noticed that my wheaten roos are getting their grown up colors later than the BCM's.. or so it seems.

What color is the leg feathering supposed to be on a Wheaten roo? is it black? Does the Black Tailed Buff Roo have black leg feathering as well?

Thanks... I have some that have black, it's just that i have a couple who could go either way so i keep waiting for more feathering.. .. My btb's have quite a bit of black in them actually so probably most won't be for breeding.

BTB should have golden colored leg feathering and white/pink shanks.

Hmm.... mine seem to have black mixed in with the golden color, (they do have pink shanks) in fact in general i see quite alot of black in the females.. I will try to post some pics next week. I'd like to be able to improve on what they look like in the next generation .. I can only see one roo in the group who looks very BTB like

Thank you for your help ..
