    Lavender Ameraucana bantams

    Luckily I was able to get 4 lavenders instead of just 2, but very sad to say one passed away yesterday. No idea why. It was only about 6 days old. No obvious cause. The others seem great. There are 2 calico cochins in with them. Can't wait to see them feather out.

    I have thoroughly enjoyed lurking here and have learned so much. I am very new to all of this, but it has been incredibly enjoyable so far. I currently have 3 RIR cockerels and 2 silkie chicks of unknown sex. Gotta get a big run built so I can get some LF hens soon. Of course, have to build...

    That is too cool!!! Well at least it looks like your new babies will be good layers! Don't some of the meat birds have white hens with large-ish combs like that?? (This is all a very new learning experience for me. Just making a guess.)
