Royce, it was a tough decision for sure. They were the ones I've been raising the longest. But ultimately, it came down to money, and they were also the ones costing me the most. Because their color changes so much as they mature, I had to feed so many birds for so long before I could tell what I had, so I had to either hatch fewer numbers and settle for what I got or turn them over to someone who could do them justice. Don's been doing this much longer than I have, and I'm really excited to see where to takes them!
John Marshall also has wheatens, and took one of my bw males, and Robert Burns has wbs as well, including a male from one of John B.'s last hatches, so there are several established flocks around the state.
Good to see you around, btw - hope life is getting back to normal. Merry Christmas!
