Splash - Who is breeding them?

(1/3) > >>

Jean:
I want to get some feelers out there to see who is breeding LF or bantam splash. (not the splash wheaten)

Please reply if you have been breeding for five or more years and if you have LF or bantam.

I will start.

I have LF splash and have had them since 2007; 7 years.

Mike Gilbert:
Had bantam splash for many years but no longer do, as my blues were sold last fall, and what I had were the result of either blue to blue or blue to splash matings.   I could provide the required certificate, but could not show at a qualifying meet obviously.

Russ:
I have some splash Bantams, but this is my first year breeding. Thanks again Mike for the wonderful start with the BBS Bantams. I should have a few nice ones to bring and show at Fowl Fest this fall (some splash & some Blue, Blacks seem to have a little to much purple so far). Unfortunately the late start hatching means no L.F. to bring. Oh I also do have splash L.F. I almost forgot duh I normally do not keep them though just the Blue.

Mike Gilbert:

Russ, I would not use that line to produce blacks as these are silver based.   The best colored blacks are usually gold based, though I have seen, and produced, birds with a decent green sheen that were based on silver.  In fact I had two different silver based black pullets take BB bantam at past Ameraucana national meets.  But it probably wouldn't happen with the line you got from me.  They were bred to produce blues and splash.

Sharon Yorks:
I am on year #3 of raising LF Splash.
