I have 4 hens sitting right now, (1 of the 4 has eggs hatching RIGHT NOW) and these are there SECOND set of eggs each this year. 2 of the girls are only a year old this month, the others are 2 years old.

Blue partri comes from a partri and a blue. Babies can be all blk, blue and blue partri. I was told to take the best of the blue offspring and breed back to parent to improve the blue color. George M. told me if you really want to do blue partri right you need to use lav and not blue.
Big dif in bright and bronze. I like the bronze the best but some of those bright ones are really pretty too!!

So, I am curious. Are the bright ones shown also or would they get DQed?
