Sparks & Daphne Every once and awhile, there are two birds that I just HAVE to put together. For whatever reason, it always seems like the process takes longer when it's a pair I'm REALLY excited about and Sparks & Daphne are no different. This is my first linebreeding on Balls, one of my resident favorites. Balls has the most incredible Hawky brow and head that I've seen in a long time and his first son, Sparks is no different. Daphne is from another pairing that I did with Balls last year. I really hoped for his classic head package in this pair's chicks - but, alas - it did not pass on. His mate (Daphne's mother) is gorgeous. (read more)
16 & 118 My best Recessive Silver cock is also split to either Whiteface or Pastelface (I'll have to test breed to see which). He is from Ares and Spring. An F1 outcross on my Greeson lines, he has been bred for increased size in my WF/PF lines and he's matured into a beautiful big cock. His large head and eyes are indicative of the Greeson lines and his brothers and sisters have matured into equally impressive birds.
He is now being taken back to a gorgeous, albeit camera-shy, pearl hen from Philip Feret that is split to Whiteface. 118 has LOTS of Greeson genes, too so the pair should make incredible babies. and if we're lucky, maybe even some nice big Whitefaces or Pastels!
Hera and Ares Where do I even begin describing these two? Both came directly from Linda Greeson herself and are responsible for some of the most unforgettable birds here today.
Originally paired exclusively with Zeus, Hera has begun to lay infertile eggs presumably because of Zeus' age. So she has been repaired with my best and most potent Greeson cock. Hopefully, this pair will go on to produce some pure-blooded Greeson kids that will continue these magnificent lines for generations to come at TopTiels.
430 and 31 430 (pictured far left) is from a joint breeding between Josh Maple and Pat Tucker, two fellow breeders that produce some of the best breeding stock in the world today. This hen is the mother to Daphne (pictured above) and has now been bred to Clyde's son, 31 in an effort to produce some large and very yellow Cinnamon chicks.
Cinnamons haven't been as popular as other mutations and I think the reason is that they can sometimes be a bit "drab". But this hen should produce a brilliant yellow pigment that gives the cinnamons a beautiful rich glow.
Big Boy and 414 Big Boy is one of Apollo & Leta's gargantuan boys and here he's been paired to a Ree Maple Cinnamon hen that is long, lean and beautiful to see!
This breeding is being done to add length and style on to Apollo's huge babies which can weigh upwards of 185 grams, but lack some style and color that 414 proudly wears.
Apollo and Mystery Mystery gave us a beautiful clutch of babies earlier this year with her chosen partner, Neon. But here, she has been re-paired to one of my main breeding cocks, Apollo.
While Apollo's size isn't as impressive as his brother Ares, his chicks with Leta have been enormous and Mystery is stepping in to offer a GORGEOUS style package that Leta doesn't have. In the future, chicks from this pairing (an F1 outcross) can go directly back into our Greeson lines with a fresh look in crest, color and cheek patch that sometimes lacks in our monstrous Greeson birds.
44 & 88 A linebreeding on Philip Feret's famous Pied Line should add some gorgeous new pieds into our aviary!
TopTiels focuses mainly on size, form and stature. We have given little acknowledgement to the mutations in the past, but have always admired the beautiful heavy Pieds from Phil's lines in Seattle Washington. Now, with the help of these two and their genetic propensity for heavy pieds, we will be able to inject a new look into the size and style that has made TopTiels so popular!

What is Image Verification ( Captcha )?
A security test to determine whether or not the user is human. This will ensure that only human visitors will actually submit the form, and not spamming bots that are browsing the web from site to site and submit spam where they can. It is well known that programmers can do programs for many jobs, including visiting a large amount of sites on the Internet by following links from page to page and collect emails listed on websites, submit contact forms, or even trying to break passwords by trying to login over and over again with computer generated passwords.
Fortunately, it is impossible for a non-human ( ex. computer program ) to extract a word or a combination of letters and numbers from an image, if the letters and numbers are not all of the same size and of similar font. This is why, the Image Verification security method ensures that only people actually can submit a form.
