Well, this year I hatched quite a few baby chicks myself for the first time, and got some amazing colors!
My 2 hens and rooster. The roosters name is derp, and the girls are annabell and Bonnie

These are all Dekalb Black (not a very common breed, the come from a hatchery called Sunnyside if you are interested, the are bred for production and i don't think the breed is pure) Buff Orpington Crosses, with the buff orp being a rooster. I especially like the color of the females, they look like partridge color with golden breast feathers, i'm waiting in anticipation to see what they look like when they get older.
