I have sold my entire flock of BLRW...so I can no longer provide BLRW to the public.
My Line of BLRW is different than any other line of BLRW in the USA and has a unique look that I can spot across any show barn in the country. I crossed other varieties and breeds into my BLRW over the years until I was happy with what I had, then closed my line to any outside blood, worked hard on it until they bred true. There are many breeders of Blrw with little to no experience out there on the internet that will sell you chicks or eggs, but please ask for pictures of their breeders. Once that brassy/orange color is present in your BLRW its not going to go away, so be careful when purchasing this variety..do your research on the variety and the breeder.
I cant help but feel good about the quality of my BLRW compared to what I started out with 11 years ago. I would send pictures of my BLRW to friends and they would email me back asking me not to send them pics of mixed barnyard fowl.. After making crazy crosses on whites, partridge and even a rose combed rhode island red...well it all worked out in the end and I have a BLRW that doesn't look like any other line of BLRW in the country. My BLRW are distinct from any other line of BLRW in the USA.

The deep mahogany red is very impressive on our new generation of BLRWs, I have not seen red this deep on any other line of BLRW out there. Both type and color has really improved this year, unlike buying a new truck you cant really trade your old model in....there are a lot of people and hatcheries out there offering my birds for sale, basically second generation Foley's Waterfowl BLRW...but only I have the breeders here that keep improving every year...Honestly, I don't think anyone else is crazy enough to spend the money involved in growing out so many birds, actually 2 generations each year just to improve their birds.

Blue Laced Red Wyandotte APA Standard attempt
Some of you may or may not know of my attempt to get the BLRW in the APA Standard. There are certain things that the APA requires you to complete before they will accept the variety into the standard. One of the key ingredients is 5 breeders who have bred the BLRW for 5 years and been a member of the APA for 5 years. You can download a copy of my proposed standard description for the BLRW, this is not an official standard description for the variety. I wrote this and it is meant as a guide only...when the BLRW ever get into the standard, the description may be different. Just click the link below to download the file.
