Bob Blosl passed away this afternoon/ evening.

I think it would be better to just stick with, birds with longer backs produce more eggs, birds with shorter backs produce less.

Im guessing it has to do with genetics and nutrition. These birds have white legs in their not to distant history, and I am not to experienced at conditioning birds to make them the best that they can be.

Here is one of my Lamona cockerels, the white needs to be cleared up more and I need to figure out how to get legs a brighter yellow. I cant wait for him to finish growing out.

Im guessing its on the Leghorn, but it could be on both.

Thanks! I am excited about these birds, I hope I can get these birds up to what they were originally bred for, a good bird that dresses well and is a good layer of white eggs.

They re supposed to be the same size as a White Rock, this like was recreated starting 9 years ago, sticking to the original recipe of creation. A hen and a pullet from the flock were shown last year, and Jeff Halbach said that they represented the breed well, but they still need help with...

Here is one of my Lamona cockerels, he is a product of a 9 year project to recreate them.

Bob Pinkerton and Fred Zillich have Black Leghorns. Here is a Pullet I saw at a show a couple weeks ago, it was Champion Mediteranean.

Dang, I wish I had a little extra money right now!

I think pretty much any breed that is cold hardy, and has a Rose or Pea comb would be really good in your area. Just remember when you look to get stock that altitude changes affect hatch-ability of eggs quite a bit.

Do you have any pictures of your Ancona breeder birds for this year? I got started in them last fall, and would love to see what you have.

Very very nice birds as usual Walt, I wish my blacks had a neck like those. If you want to see something funny, watch runners trying to run through a foot of snow!

There are others out there, I have seen some nice birds and heard of some people that have had them, just cant remember who and dont know much about them.
