| I found out in 2007 that my black golds do not have the proper straw colored gold. I now have a new Black large fowl (LF) rooster with straw coloring, thanks to Linnea. I have him with black gold hens with too much gold coloring. |

| I'm bringing in buff cockerels from John Blehm to get the straw coloring in the bantams. |
 |
| Another method of trying to get straw coloring. The orange cockerel has a buff father and a black gold mother. |

| Update on the Large Fowl (LF) blue laced red (BLR) Ameraucana project: The F1 generation is reaching breeding age. I hope to set some F2 eggs from brother sister matings this fall. |
