FYI...This year is the first year that all the silver breeders in my main LF silver breeding coop are 1/4 black. There are 2 cockerels and 12 pullets in there and they all have good silver phenotype. I\'ll cull all day-old chicks that don\'t show the correct phenotype.
Progress is being made!

Ok, got my pictures. I had to use my older camera, so hope they aren\'t to grainy. This is my grow out area.

One of this year pullets:
This is what a bird that retains too many melanizers looks like. She\'s grumpy because she is trying to set; it\'s about 20 degrees outside.
The onlysilver cockerel I saved this year:

Your cockerel is very similar to my two cockerels from what I can see.....I have one cockerel with a solid black chest and one with some markings on his chest.....
Thanks for sharing pix! :D

Jean I think you made a huge improvement in type in just one generation with that silver hen- wow!
