Title: LF buffs from Will and Christine Kitsch

Hi John!  Thought you might like a few pics of chicks we have growing out of that wheaten/buff male. Lighting isn't great but best I could get today. 
Culled a lot on color; probably about 2/3.  But the remaining 1/3 are quite even in color (despite what these pics look).  Great size, leg color.  Cockerels a bit sloppy on combs but I know that's coming from ours.  Egg color tbd....

Wow, they have a lot going for them.  Great overall type, muffs, tails, shank color, eye color, long backs, etc.  Keeping about 1/3 to breed from sounds very good.  It takes time to get back to pure buff after an outcross, but if you don't lose the desired traits the outcross brought in it is worth it.

What do you all think?

Very nice! They have really nice buffs. I've gotten a couple of their males through Don that I've used over my hens and have been really pleased with their offspring.

I like the type as well. I dont understand "sloppy comb" i think they look fine to me. I don't see bad combs myself.

I love the dark leg color.
