    Hey Jeremy, Is this the young man I met at the show in WA? I have the LF WBS and you had Bantams. You also had a LF Wheaten cockerel there. God Bless,

    So glad to see all the folks getting into the WBS variety. They need a lot of work but I still think they're the best variety and am thrilled to see more people taking an interest in them. Stay with 'em and work hard to make them wind up on Champion Row! God Bless,

    What were his parents? Never heard of a BW Splash. I have a Splash Wheaten and it's similar but the body is white vice the pale blue. God Bless,

    And why not? Because you wouldn't do it? I was once at a breeder's place who does very well. He/She had row upon row of pet carriers lined up three high with food and waterers hanging on the door. They would walk down the aisle and be able to feed and water probably 50 birds or more in no...

    Clare, your points are valid but I will tell you, if I can't come to somebody's place and look at their conditions and birds, I wouldn't buy from them. I don't care who they are. As MCM said above, one can sound like a real know-it-all on the phone but when you see one's set up, facilities...

    Actually it's "Araucana" - not "Auracana". The "AU" is in the middle of both breeds and there is no "i" in Ameraucana. God Bless,

    It's still a little early to be certain but I'd say the first is a pullet and last 3 are Wheaten cockerels. God Bless,

    Quote: Those are some pretty nice looking birds. Are they LF? Where did you get them from? They both look very promising. I'd love to see a rear view from Pancake. Hope you plan to dedicate yourself them and show them! God Bless,

    Hmmm, that's interesting because I was thinking the Wheatens I've hatched have always been white and the Blue Wheatens yellow. God Bless,

    Those are EE's. They are not Wheaten, Blue Wheaten, or Splash Wheaten. If you're in TX, checkout Paul Smith on ABC Breeders List. God Bless,

    There should be no dark striping in the hackles of the Blue Wheaten or Wheatens. Having said that, Kahlua's cockerel's hackles are about as good as I've seen. What I see is in the lower part of the neck. What you definitely don't want is to see black striping up higher on the neck. Samouw's...

    If that's not white in his tail and one wing tip, he's definitely a keeper. There's a number of things you'll need to improve but start with what you've got and work from there. You're not gonna get a perfect bird and the WBS need a lot of work still. But there are a number of things I like...

    WBS are slow to mature so I wouldn't be getting rid of any anytime soon if I were you. God Bless,
