These are the four birds I will start with, I have never seen them fly but I am confident because they are pure Norm Reed. I'm looking forward to seeing their throws and hope to build a foundation from these four.
First week of March it begins.
Black Hen 100
Blue Check Cock 8
Red Hen 25
Red Grizzle Cock 63

At this point all you can do is breed from what you have. You will be able to fly the young and hopefully stock good birds from the young you fly out. Its not the best situation to breed from unflwn birds but you risk loosing them if you fly them so do what you are doing and Learn as you go. Joe
PS. that bottom bird is still a grizzle.LOL

I can tell you are excited this is the second time you have posted these four birds.
If I was going to pick one out of the four I would pick the black hen from both sets of pictures. I liked what I saw in the first set and this last set made my choice sure. The grizzle cock is my last choice. Good Luck

Some good clear pictures.
Does the white paper slowly roll up behind the birds, it looks like they are on a incline.

Bwin, the pictures were taken in a light box, the background paper is curved from bottom to top.

I think a lot of us in the beginning had to breed from flight unseen,but trusted the fancier that we got the stock from.Good luck with those John and call me when you need those fosters. Dennis

Sound Rollers....even though you haven't seen these birds fly and they are from "good" stock. I would breed them out and see what you get.... it can't hurt....
Scott Coe... I too got some birds from Bruce sight unseen. Although they are "Fireballs" they are some hell of a preformers..... Good luck to both you Guys...
