Hello all, Everyone must be on vacation or really busy with the young Champions.I do not know what the weather is like where you are but it was 107 again today...
Hello Aaron and everyone. Yup, busy with young champions (or young somethings...could be culls!) :-) Hope everyone out there had a good hatching season and...
Hi Katherine, I will be at the Stockton show with hopefully some good ones. I have a lot of culling to do this year. I let some nasty faults through last...

Hi Bill, I'm curious, what type of faults did you let through that are causing you trouble? I hatched my first batch this spring since getting back into...
mostly folded ear lobes..........a lot of them. Also longer backs than I'm use to. Oh well, more room for the good ones. ... From: "Shannon Doane"...

Hi Bill, Katherine, Shannon and Aaron! Bill I will difinitely be in Michigan, would not miss good German Food. As I said before Bill I will donate $50.00 for...
Sure good to hear some Rosecomb chatter.... Katherine, I smiled when I read how you hate to see good eggs go to waste. I remember years ago in Albuquerque the...
I don't post here usually. Mostly I read...But, I am so happy to have barred rosecombs I had to post. Well, actually I bought four but, two of them died soon...
By the way, I just found out that at least one of the birds I bought that died has Coccidosis. Isn't that just wonderful.... ... as ... They ... barred ... ...
Hi Jeff: Yes! I would be glad to chat with fellow rosecomb breeders in Australian club. I breed blacks, whites, blues, splash and mottled rosecombs. We ...
Hey everyone, Just had a question I wanted to throw out there. My two breeder roos have developed some white in their faces as they have aged. I was wondering...
Hey Shannon, Good question...and not a simple one to answer. Where is the white located...close to the lobe or around the eye? How much and at what age did it...
Thanks a bunch for the insight Aaron! The roos that have white in their faces come from a bloodline that has a lot of potential...although it will need some...
Aaron is right white in the face at an early age is negative. We have all had to fight white in the face at one time or another. White in the face is a...
Hi Steve, Thanks so much for your thoughts on this! I've never seen multiple spikes or duck foot in a rosecombs before either, so I was very surprised when...
Hey everyone, Does anyone out there have Blue Rosecombs with real lacing?? I have several with that attractive "false" lacing. The blue feather has a fringe...
Hi Aaron, I don't think I've ever seen a blue rosecomb with real lacing before. I know what you mean about the shadow effect on the regular blue rosecombs. I...
Shannon, thanks for the reply, It is good to know others have thought along these lines also. I tried the silver sebright cross twice in the past. It was a ...
It certainly would not be an easy undertaking and the best that I would have at my disposal for such a cross would be sebrights. I don't think I've ever seen...
I think using sebrights for the lacing would take forever. If even possible at all. From everything I understand it is a totally different gene from the ...
Hi, On this list, I think Katherine probably understands genetics as well, if not better than anyone. There are a few genetic boards out there that you can...
Donald, And don't forget my buddy David West who has a Masters degree in poultry genetics from the University of Oregon... Also the book "Genetics of the fowl"...
Hi everyone. I'm going to have to play a little "Rosecomb catch-up" (not to be confused with Rosecomb Ketchup, eww!) with all these emails that have been...
Hi Aaron, My apologies, I didn't mean to leave anyone out, I just wasn't familiar with other knowledgable folks. Where is the book available from? Oh and...
I've been wondering if the lacing we see on many blues is more the product of feather structure than actual lacing color. If I remember correctly (and please...
www.americansilkiebantamclub.org/breeding_blue_variety.htm This link has some of the information you all are talking about. Make sure you read pretty far...
So... I guess that means no one has old time laced blue rosecombs? Remember, this crossing is just for my own enjoyment... The book I mentioned is available on...
Hey Steve, When are you going to post that mottled pullets picture? She sure looks good. I have seen that nice new barn you built with the space for photo ...
