Title: Black Cockerel Ameraucana LF Photo
Post by: philipu on October 21, 2009, 11:05:22 AM

Good Morning,
Just took a photo of the Black Cockerel I am  hoping to show at the Idaho Bird Breeders Show Weekend of November November 7th.
Thought I would share photo, I got three black chicks from Jean
in the Spring....my luck all three Cockerel\'s.
But I really like this big boy.  It\'s a cool wet morning, right now mid
30\'s.

Oooo.  I like him too.  

... and I want to live in Idaho!!  I hope to retire there.  I\'m waiting to see if my retirement fund is going to come back.

Nice bird!   And he has slate legs, proving it can be done with enough selection and focus.  He could use just a bit longer keel, which would give him a deeper, fuller chest.  But very nice.

I like him too, when can you bring him back??????  ;)

I think he will fill out quite nicely in the next few months.  I find mine go through a \"gangly\" stage for 2-3 months once they hit the 20 week mark.

Uh-oh, now I feel a little guilty that the three blacks I hatched from Jean\'s eggs are all females!  They look a lot like mine, but I do like the slate leg color on yours better.  I wonder if the leg color is darker on mine because they carry Lavender???  Anyway, VERY handsome boy.....good luck at the show!
