here are my three blacks growing up slowly. I am pretty confident I have one roo.  ep.gif  I'm hoping for a trio.  they are about 9-10weeks old I think now.  i just bought a 6 lavendars, 2 blues, and two splashes to add to the mix too but they are only a week old.

 Can you take a picture of your Lav chicks, I have 2 chicks that I think could be yet Id didnt order lav so wonder if they are going to be splash. My splah orp chicks dont look like the ones that hatced a few weeks ago.  The one's I have are a siver color kind of.

Hi, I have French Black Copper Marans (love them), English Orpingtons :(colors Blue, Balck and Splash) they are so sweet. Oh also Cream Legbars :that lay nice blue eggs. We will be offering eggs and chicks from all of them just PM me to get on the list for which one youd like. We also have a few sweet Dairy goats ( Nubians and Toggs)

my lavs have a silver color.  the splash had a slight coloring on the head yet a yellowish body.    they are pretty easy to spot in this picture.  the two blues are up against the wall

Are you sure that last one is a pullet? That's an awfully big comb and some really long legs. It could just be the way the pictures were taken, though. When DH walked by the computer he asked, "Is that a turkey?" I wish I could tell you how it'll feather out, but I've not had any hatch out like that... yet... I'm sure it's just a matter of time, though.

 

Secrets in the Sauce... lol

 So I think I have a couple Lav. This is going to sound bad but what colors make Lav?

Love my misc layers. Love my Orps; blacks and working on lavendars. On the other side of the "size spectrum":  My beautiful Seramas. Going to start showing in 2012. I hope to learn lots.

Pretty blue baby hatched from Rebel Yell egg: 

I am learning how to take better photos. Not great..but cute.

The momma photo is the broody BR cross I put the English Orp eggs under. I added 4 sexlinks after the eggs hatched, to her brood for my egg layer pen (they are Golden Comets - I have "The 4 Comets"...LOL).
