Wanted hurry and post before my phone crashed again. She is much lighter than her dad, I'm told he's blue. No brown in her at all. Very even coloring that I just love. She's a keeper. New babies have some very light colored ones, I didn't keep most of the first batch, thinking of hanging into...
What color is this girl? She hatched in May. All my babies this year are amazing colors, and I even got a baby with 3 colors of down a couple Weeks ago
