That's great! I'd love to see a photo of all of them if you ever take some...My white Ameraucana's and the lav and splits have the best temperament I have ever seen ( besides my brahmas) My split lav girl runs to my feet everytime I enter her pen...little scratch on her back..she...

Thanks, I do too! I keep a close eye on him because his genetics are pretty valuable to me right now and I'd hate to lose him.
I love them!!! I can't wait to hatch some for myself shortly! Your pen B group is producing stunning babies!!!

You know I love her! Did you share your AWESOME news here yet? You need to!!! Hooray for Lavs!
I think I mentioned it here. The issue will be out on news stands November 15th. For those of you that missed it, Miss Madonna (the lavender hen above)will be in Vogue magazine...

It sounds like you have 2 boys. I think at 20 weeks they would be crowing by now though. The only way that my girls would be considered "flighty" is that they like to jump on my shoulders when I open the coop (hinge roof)

WOW Steve gorgeous! when are those eggs going up for auction LOL?
Thank you!
I hadn't considered an auction.................... they're penned with B/B/S pullets also, which will be clean at Easter; if I do auction them, the splits would have to be included.
Your welcome:-)...

Did you hatch them or were they shipped? You do know how blue works, right?
We've been stiffed recently by breeders that had to wait because of weather to ship out chicks, and when they finally did arrive it was obvious they had been sexed.

yeah over $200.00 for blue wheatens on one auction just for 6+ eggs. That is insane. I couldn't do it as I have had bad luck with shipped eggs.
I was talking about the $118 lav auction
ITS 160$ right now

Me thinks............ it's the pictures of those dark blue eggs....LOL I do hope it is not just the camera shot. A friend bought some on an auction because of the wonderful color shown in the photo & paid way more than she would have & was sadly disappointed when the eggs arrived. Of...
