congratulations Brandi G. IT appears you got them from a pretty good line. They have nice base coats.

Here are a few pics of mine I had laying around. Need to take some more current of them though. It's been awhile.

Thanks Gary H! Wow, yours are absolutely stunning. Gorgeous birds!

In my birds, the cinnamon's produce the most vibrant color variance out of all of them. We are working to getting them accepted into the APA and breeding to the US standard. I will always have some English birds here as I love 'em alot. I'm mostly working on getting the blue based birds out of my line.

Good morning everyone.
So, I recently purchased some English GLO hatching eggs off eBay. The add was for GLO and Blue laced gold. The eggs have had great growth all through the incubation with a very high survival rate at this point. Well, today is hatch day and the first chuck is out and drying off....Much to my horror the chick is blonde with faint chipmunk stripes.....like no glo chicks I've ever seen. Has anyone had chicks hatching out this color or have I been bamboozled?! I'm currently at work but I will post a pic later this evening when I get home

Good morning Elliemae77, my guess would be that they are breeding blue laced gold to blue laced gold in which case your little chick will be Buff Laced white (ie splash of the gold laced) and beautiful I might add!

In which case he would look kind of like this when he is grown ( or she

)

Oh, very cool!

the buff laced or splash birds that I have seen do not have the chipmunk stripe on them. Ebay can be a nightmare for hatching eggs!
