I bet they'll be beautiful. The coloring already looks gorgeous.

Did any of them look like this at hatch? http://i105.photobucket.com/albums/m203/minpingurl1/Splash002.jpg
This chick was from a SplashxSplash pair.

Sundown,
They had dark greyish stripes and little dark greyish spots on the back of their heads. The last chick in the pics just hatched yestereday. The two older chicks stripes were darker than him. Your little chick is vey interesting too. It will be neat to see it feather out. We also had this weird colored chick come up out of our other BBS pen. We have been hatching for 5 months from these pens with the same few birds and have only had BBS chicks. What is going on here? LOL

I had 2 chicks hatch like the one above. Here's a picture of the first one, the second one that hatched was a bit darker than this one.

This is my first year breeding the BBS so I was surprised to see chicks like these pop out.



I was told they could either feather out blue, blue partridge, or Porcelian.
