Hee! And agreed, on the lavender- I have a little cochin "self-blue" and she's much paler. I'll give emailing Ideal a try!

An update on Mystery Blue- here she/he is at 2 weeks. I'm thinking blue rather than self-blue on the color. Any further thoughts from anyone on breed? It's early but I'm also guessing male on gender (not that it matters to me, much) given the comb at such an early age, as well as the sort of...

After obsessively studying the bantam selections on Ideal tosee what they have in blue and self-blue, I'm thinking most likely OEGB, possibly Dutch? I don't know how to tell the difference, particularly at this age, but both breeds have straight combs and clean legs, right?

My order of banties came from Ideal this morning! So excited! My cochins, d'uccles and japanese are all accounted for, but I also ordered two assorted bantams for fun. Could I get some help identifying breed, please? Mystery chick one: Super tiny (smaller than the japanese chicks); chipmunk...
