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 ...
Aaron: What is the old saying? Why put-off what you can do today.do it tomorrow?? I know.here I am retired and it seems like I am busy everyday. Okay.I will ...
These mottled rosecombs where breed out of a trio of David West's mottled carrier blacks that I got last winter. So far, I have a trio and want to breed them...
Hi Steve, Wow! They are beautiful! I hope that color catches on so some make it up to the great white north here :) The birds from David, were that rosecombs...
Hi Shannon: The birds were black rosecombs with a recessive gene of mottled. We call them mottled carriers and yes they are true rosecombs and not cross bred ...
Thanks! Katherine. They are about 8 months old and have been laying a month now. Yes! If they still have their feather I will bring them to CA. I am taking...
Hey, Does anyone have results and photos of the recent National??? I know it is just past...but those of us that couldn't get there are curious I am sure... ...
I posted the top four Birds at the Rosecomb National 2005 in Michigan. I did not have a photo of the fifth place bird, but it was Bill Patterson's pullet....
First off, congratulations to Bill and Steve for the top placings at the National! And Steve, 3rd best on a Mottled?? Wowza! Most impressive. :-) Does...
ask Rick Hare. He puts the Plexiglas in his cages ... From: "Katherine Plumer" <katherine@...> To: <RosecombBantams@yahoogroups.com> Sent: Monday,...

Hi everyone, The Rosecomb National was a very nice show of Rosecombs. I enjoyed seeing all of the birds and some of the breeders. I didn't have a lot of time...
