grisaboy:
Here are some of the light brown breeders
I'm not sure that I want to get rid of these
But might be convinced if someone really wants to work on developing light browns.

grisaboy:
I have several silver cockerals that need to go.  They are still in the speckeldy stage so it's hard to say if they are going to have nice black breasts. No red in the wings though.  Here is on of the breeding pens that they came from.

grisaboy:

I would rather people pick up birds but I can ship if necessary.
I just shipped a couple of bantams to North Carolina and shipping charges cost around $70.
I believe I can fit two pairs of the young birds in a standard shipping box.
It needs to cool off a little though.  It was at least 100 degrees in Indiana today. I won't ship birds when it is that warm.

Curtis,
I'm working on developing Black Breasted Red.  In the picture you posted of the mature pair of Light Brown, What are the differences?  They look almost the same as the project birds I have!
Thanks,
Johnny

Mike Gilbert:
Johnny, Black Breasted Red males have clear hackles and saddles, while Light Browns have hackle striping.   Jerry S. wanted light browns way back when, but it was decided at the time the males looked too much like wheaten males, as most wheaten males had at least some hackle striping.   That could have confused and probably discouraged a lot of beginners.   Today most good wheaten males have pretty clean hackles.   Few breeds recognize more than one of the three, though Old English seem to come in pretty much everything - but maybe not Light Brown.  Wayne Meredith had light brown large fowl in the 1970's, but switched over to wheaten when the Standards were adopted.   He will always have my gratitude and admiration for that.
