Doug, I saw him previously, just beautiful. Also on the same link you posted, I found out what WC is, according to
http://www.feathersite.com/Poultry/CGK/Millies/BRKMilleFleur.html
He is what's called a Lemon Mille Fluer. The pic is of a booted though...WC has a beard, no wattles The roo...
They are aonly outside for the early part of the day to dustbath and eat morning-noonish bugs/range. Then are put back into inside grow pens till evening. Reason being, we are in process of making new pens, and I have a 20 x 40 heated and air facility, so they have limited time outside. No one...
More pics, sorry it took me a while. These are all goofy "pre teens" (in the grow out pen). What is the blue mottled called w/all the DUN in there???

Sonoran, Thank you again. I can take pics of the lil gal but it will be later today. Have Dr appt in a bit. The only black roo I have of breeding age at the moment is what feathersites calls a "lemon mille" roo who's black BASE but lemon hackles. What would you suggest from that?
Thank you too...
Thanks for the input. So how would I breed the dun coloration and to what exactly? She's an interesting color but I dont know enough about it to "work with it".

Lets keep this one on only genetics.

I agree with all 3 of you. There does need to be less babble and more genetic learning, but I also think the thread has already provided "some" education. I hope it continues to grow and more education can be passed along. There are a lot of us still scratching our heads and doing the best we...

Hello Henk,
While I'm not usually one to just step up to "the big plate" and shout, I wonder if you would please bare with me a moment, all of you? I intend no harm or disrespect to anyone with my followng statements...I think most of you know better by now. So, with that said, this...

None of my splits are old enough to be laying just yet. I'm dividing them up based on gender and foot feathering right now. Have way too many boys, so early foot feathering is a must for survival. These boys aren't worth...

Your a bit of a drive from me...We used to live in Ardmore, so I am familiar w/your area Did these result from a mixed breeding of all your colors combine (I assume so from post)? I'm just curious as I'm using all the data I can to help set up a "dictionary" so-to-speak of blacks and...

Grace, do you have any pics of your blacks?? Are you working on a black program or were these kido's surprise hatches? Where in OK are you located...I'm in the Joplin MO area, about 100 miles E. of Tulsa

Bummer. Sorry about the surgery thing. I actually wanted to bring some birds to YOU
I can't hatch anything until 1/1/11. I promised no more birds until 'next year'. Better that way if this winter is as bad as last winter was. My youngest birdsa rea already unhappy with lows in teh...

Sukzzz your so far away because I would be interested in working with you, and we could kill 2 birds w/one stone (so to speak). Seems we're working on similar projects/goals and i know from my point it would certianly benifit my black program too. Yep, Plan B2... (sigh)
I know! I...

Doug, LilCrow...First of all I'm sorry it's been a while since I posted. Been in hospital since last Sunday w/surgery, and didnt have puter access. Now for the "lemon" ordeal...Yes, he does show a lemon/darkening to a more gold. I'll take more pics and post and maybe can get some better...

LOL, I just PM'd you! BTW, I'm sure by the time it's all said and done I'll be banned from the D'uccle threads due to my flock of 'missfit feathers'... Not many people like change and I've dumped a ton of color on you guys-n-gals the past few weeks. I'm sure most of you are going...
