So far, just the three but two more are already pipping with one egg left to come a day late put in the bator. Cutting it fine to get the down colour right before the imports get handed around. So they have correct down, adult plumage, comb and willow legs.
wee.

You're amazing!

Really well done BHoC

I've been reading all you're posts about your breed but never had much to add so I have stayed silent, but I just have to say, job really well done. Much cudos to you.

That is so exciting. [smilie=a_goodjobson.gif]

byhook they look good :-D

The work you have put in over so many years to recreate this breed here has not gone unnoticed, many here and overseas have paid attention to your work and I know many have congratulated you.

The imported birds may be good, bad or even ugly, and it is irrelevant as THIS post is abt YOUR work
4 generations now of breeding true (or is it 5 as I can't remember) to colour and Type - yes byhook = you definitely got your work finished in plenty of time

I am so glad that most here see it for what it is = an amazing achievement

All going well so far. Two gold and two silver. One silver looks like maybe a silver hornet. One egg bound chick died but the last white egg dated 23/05, three days after the first batch is pipping now. So not bad as an out of season hatch.

Last one hatched overnight, another gold.
