I would like to see pictures when you get them. When I bought my chicks they were from GF 2015 Import and LP lines..F1, I could definitely tell the difference in the lines. The LP chicks were a dusty color and did not have the dark black penguin look.

Do you have any favorites yet?

 

[CalgaryFarmer]

Yes. The largest male. Probably only because he is showing the most colour.

There is also one with feathers all over his feet. I know, not to SOP,






But they just look so good.

The feathers are cute albeit wrong. LOL Do your girls have color?

all 3 of my boys have feet like that and girls very few. they all are related so I wonder if their line is like that. I will visit the breeder tomorrow and pay attention to his birds but if I remember well his birds are like that as well.

UN chooks is forming.
we have USA. GREECE . AUSTRALIA and now CANADA.

nice flock you got there my friend. nice grass too .they should be very happy .

there is a few well marked and balanced cockerels . Sorry to say the one you picked is not one of them . Bad feet too much feathers. the middle toe should be free from feathers.

from the photos of the group I like the one on the left next to the pullet facing the other way.

we need photos of them individually so we can see ho s ho.

I checked the Greenfire Farm web. nice work they are doing there. AvGen Poultry is doing a same thing here.

they BCM have been certify So they are pure NO doubt about that.

they have they own fault ,but they have a lot quality to offer . I like them .

I prefer LP line because I know to much about t and it origin .I have seen the breeders parent stock they come from.

KEEP YOUR LINE PURE( is an asset to have a pure BCM line out of France ).

MONIQUE in France had her BCM for 30 years, so very old and established line ( one of the oldest and purest BCM line in the planet)
EMILE G from the syndicat have a large breeding flock 250 BCM breeders. he export fertile eggs and Day old chicks to Africa. New Calidonia . Argentina. Europe. )

cheers
