Growing :love The seven silkie eggs will be due in the next couple days, all were alive the last time I candled.

Technically, both. Here in Aus there is a Frizzle breed. I am stilling trying to figure out what exactly it is though... And Frizzle is also the feather mutation. Several breeds have Frizzle as an accepted variety such as Polish, cochin/pekin and Japanese bantams.

For sure. I just do my best to go off the online standard! There's always my personal opinion with what I'd like too. For example I'd kinda prefer mine a bit bigger, I like them as dual purpose not just laying. I've always thought Frizzle barnevelder would be fun project, but it'd be a very...

Thank you! They may not be perfect representatives of their breed but their personalities are too perfect for me to think about parting with them anytime soon 😅 I'm enjoying having them again. I've heard the lacing can be hard to perfect! My girls have a variety of quality. That's not my focus...

Thank you!

Thanks! Both my roosters are split for dark (slate if i remember correctly?) shank colour. I can't keep any cockerels without having to grow them out and test breed them to see if they do too. Combine that with his bad temperament and poor hackle markings getting a new rooster just seems the...

A thread for me to post pictures, other random thoughts and updates on my breeding projects. I currently keep Buff Sussex, Barnevelders (Gold and Silver), silkies and showgirls in various colours. I'll start with the Sussex and add the others in seperate posts. All recent pictures show...
