    Hello, Olivia rose! Welcome! Dave C, we hatched out Welsummers, Crested Cream Legbars, Plymouth Barred Rocks, French Copper Marans, French Wheaten Marans, Rhode Island Reds, Light Sussex, and Brahmas.

    Ok, so firstly, let me say "hiya" to the newcomers! Secondly, sorry I haven't been on in a while, but with that huge hatch we did I've been a very busy lady lol. Out of the original 250 eggs, we hatched out a total of 173, we've lost a few since then for various reasons but the majority of them...

    My husband just looked at these and said they look like a blue laced red but with a double copy of the blue gene?

    They definitely look like a red splash but the actual classification would depend on how you got them? If they :)were a partridge based brahma, then they would be classed as a red splash. Mind you, I'm no expert at all, just going on what we've learned so far from other breeders here in the UK...

    We have Rhode Island Reds, Light Sussex, Plymouth Barred Rocks, French Copper Marans, French Wheaten Marans, Welsummers, Cream Legbars, Brahmas, and a few Black Rock hybrids. My favourites are my Brahmas and my Marans. The Brahmas are really friendly and laid back. I don't really have any "mean"...

    We're sitting on a huge hatch atm, 275 eggs in the incubator! The idea was to have Pol hens for springtime. We've got some nice show quality lines in this time as well as a few new breeds just for my interest lol. We're hoping to get a dozen hens of each breed out of this lot. The hubby is...
