LOL there are always extra roos... many more that are more correct, and most just need a good home IMO. the girls I can sell, the boys we practically give away if it'll be a good home sometimes.

Thank you both! I actually think the one with the odd comb is a mix now looking at the other breeds they have.
They have some very pretty pullets/hens that I'm excited about.
What about this guy, is he SFH?

the qotes are all messed up. LOL it wouldn't let me open the pic while in the quote box so I put it 'outside the box' LOL.

YES! he's a very nice gff sfh. very much like many of the roos I've seen from there, actually. from Soren, one of their primary roosters I think?

lol sorry, I was uploading from my phone. HA! He's the roo I liked but he threw me with his colors. Sweet, so I have my roo.

I appreciate you guys giving me feedback. I think I've decided on the quad I'm going to keep. I can hardly wait to see the first babies!

I would love to find a roo. I have a beautiful roo, he is a mile, but he has split wing
I am located in Ohio!

Thank
Quote: YES!! And quite lovely!

for some updated pics... I got the oldest indoor chicks pic'd today... thinking 4 pullets 2 roos.
the number is their wing band #, for ease of my memory.

all hatched from AL marked eggs. (Leigh? k.i.forgot again...) hatched on November 29th.

blue mille pullet #336
black mille pullet #337
another blue mille pullet #338 (I think this girl's going to stay...)
another black mille pullet # 339
black mille roo # 340 (the loud colored boys are always my favorites)
blue calico roo #341

Al - because of the timing and the colors it must have been Alma and not Ali.

Alma - top row, 4th from the left. My biggest girl.

Just wanted to share my rather unusually colored 11-week old pullet. She's almost a leopard print Mille Fleur. Her red is muted to almost yellow, the white is dominant and the black makes for a striking contrast.
Unfortunately the photos don't do her coloring justice... Anyone else have one like this??

Quote: beautiful coloring BDM, have not been on here in a long while & have missed seeing everyone's pics & conversation. this was a nice one to come back to!

LOL - Thank you! And you do realize I take that as an open invitation to share more? LOL!
(Folks - stop me if I'm getting annoying with the photos!)

Yeah - we need to figure out how to reproduce this coloration. I'm thinking if I breed her to Mace (black-based Mille Fleur), this red-muting gene could be passed along to up to 25% of the offspring if it is recessive (which it probably is) - would that be correct, Ki4got?

And if nobody objects, I hereby name this coloration "Snow Leopard." I'd LOVE to be able to breed plenty more of these!

More pictures?? OK - you asked for it - but I should stop before people start crying fowl.
