I will for sure! I have hatched a lot of eggs and so far I only have one Wheaton 10 that looks good. So I have no doubt that this will be a very long project but well worth it. I'm really looking forward to this color being accepted down the road no matter how many years that may be.

I have been hatching wheatens too, along with blue wheaten, blue, black, splash, self blue and then some white bantams with our daughter.

I almost pursued the isabel project a few years ago since I raise both the wheatens and self blues, but decided I was best served trying to improve the varieties I already had.

A color variety acceptance process is exciting and rewarding. The ABC had the self blue color variety officially approved in large fowl January of 2020. It is so exciting that it is approved after years of feeding the self blues as a project color.

 Thank you, I will! I have a couple splashes and love them! I'm excited for that color to be approved.
