Nice birds.

They look lovely. Thanks for sharing.

The hen sadly died. She was white with small 'tears' more grey than black in colour. I still have the male, he's a bog standard grey normal to look at - I really like him though. I can take a photo of him tomorrow if you like. The third chick in that brood was a BC hen and I can also try to photograph her. I have some other grown up chicks from that pairing and they are all male grey normals.

I must apologise that the photos are not the best, he doesn't believe in sitting still for his photo and my photography skills seem to be lacking! What do you think of this chap? His dad was a grey normal and mum was a CFW. As with his brother (shown in the last photo) I'm thinking of buying a hen in for him, as I don't have any spares at the moment. I guess he might carry the BC gene? I was thinking of pairing him with a pied hen, unless you have any better suggestions? On the right.

I only breed for fun, but earlier this year my favourite grey normal male and a CFW hen hatched this little chap, a BC hen and a pied grey. It was quite a surprise as the earlier chicks from this pair had all been grey normals. Sorry that the photos aren't the best, he doesn't sit still for long. Anyway - what do you think? I'm thinking of buying in a BC hen or a pied hen to breed with him.

I really enjoyed looking at those. Great photos and lovely birds.
