Cesar, that's a great question, made me think about it for a bit. I've not seen many of the bantams except for the national last year, so take this with a grain of salt. There were really nice birds there, some in larger quantities. The white, black, blue are advanced way beyond the others just like in LF. Buff has come a long way but few people have these, or at least few show them. The fewer colors on a bird the simpler to progress the bird. So solid colors are naturally going to excell, IMO, don't shoot me for saying this. There still can be leakage in blacks and blues. The lavs are coming along but need many more folks working here too.
There was a large class of wheatens and blue wheatens at the national too Several folks are working on these in different parts of the country, but not nearly enough given how nice the color. This color is complicated because of the many colors on the males and a different color balance on the females. This doesn't even take into account the lacing/edging on all blues. The brown red is a great color too. Mike says it's really hard to get the color to balance in very many birds, "lots of wasters" was his term. The silver is a complicated color too. They still have problems with shafting, type and color balance on the males, as well as combs. So I would say silver needs more help. But it is a really nice color too and the egg color in some of the strains is really nice. Now, have I talked you into getting some this year?
