Gah!!! She's adorable love.gif Yes, she's lavender...or blue? I have a blue...she looks more like grey, so I don't know how to tell the difference.

She could be a very light blue...will have to wait and see when she's older...she almost looks too dark gray to be lavender...

She hatched out of my barred rock egg so she is a sex-link...

This is one I hatched last year..  she is a little bit darker.

So I think I'm moving the one 10x10 run out to the garden area for the winter. The birds can dig through all the weeds and fertilize. I'll just rotate it around on areas I'm not using that year. Hmm, I could put it where I'm planting in spring for a few months then move it. That should give it time before I till and plant to break down and not be as hot. I'm also thinking of penning off the cherry trees come spring and let the chickens keep the weeds down around them. That should also keep the stupid deer that keep trimming them during the summer out.  

In the next few days I am going to make a serious attempt to collect as many nasty seeds as I can...as you can see they have taken over !

It is not too bad though, the peas are dying off by the time the nasties over take the pea bed, but I do not like the nasties in betwix the cucumbers...makes it awful hard to get to the bed to pick.

They have also washed down the driveway in winter storms and are all over down the hill, volunteer.

 

So I may have plenty of seeds to give away !

There is many color combinations including peachy-apricot ones, some are trailing, some bush and well behaved. smile.png

I don't know where they come from, but they look like poppies to me. I've grown sea holly. That's not it.
