Lovely pictures!

Thanks, but those are his Craigslist glamour shots... I can't even take credit for them! Poor guy. His neck feathers were all ruffled from having to wear a crow collar. The gal I got him from felt terrible about it and decided to rehome him over forcing him to wear one of those things. When his feathers are in full glory again, I'll post more pics of him. If I'm lucky, I get four Isbar chicks in a couple weeks as well. Fingers crossed!

Here's an update of pics on my wee ones. They are 2 weeks old tomorrow. Some did NOT want to cooperate with getting their pictures taken so I took what I could lol.

This is Daisy, the Austra White

This is Violet, the Blue Ameraucana. Meyer had a pic of a darker colored "Blue Ameraucana" and a lighter colored bird. Maybe I am getting the light colored. Depending on the light her wings almost look like a silvery purple. Maybe I should've named her Lilac instead. But I like Violet so Violet it is.

Regarding the light colored chick in the pic. We named her Willow and she is the Lakeshore Egger. I was trying to take a pic where you could see her little mohawk that she is getting. It's cute.

The dark colored chick in the above pics is the same as this one. This is Lily, the Blue Andalusian.

This is my problem chick, Jasmine. Or as I affectionately call her, Jazzy. The Black Copper Maran. She is such a sweetheart.

May not be the greatest pics but I hope ya'll can see how much they've feathered out. Most of them have nice tail feathers in as well. I have a few that are slower bloomers.

So cute!

That’s not a blue Andalusian chick, at least it doesn’t look like one to me.

That's what she is supposed to be. Why do you say that?
Maybe it wasn't a very good pic or just the way she was laying, idk. Here are some that I just took. I was able to snap a pic while she was standing before she tried getting away lol.



ETA: Altho on Meyer's website they state that Blue Andalusians can be Blue, Black or Splash. Which do ya'll think she will turn out to be? More Black than Blue maybe, since she isn't super light colored?
ETA again:
Maybe it is just the offspring. LOL. Idk.

Just a quick detox. You know, had to kick the addiction. Now you're ready to have a healthy relationship with BYC, right? RIGHT?

I've never managed to stay away more than a week. Y'all are my last link to sanity.

She looks more blue there! That first picture she look really black lol! I love the dark blues, they always look good and have the best lacing usually.

I thought blue didn’t breed true in birds?? So she technically could be black (B/B/S) and still be an Andalusian? Just maybe not a blue one lol but she does look more blue in the second pictures. I think crazy critter and myself were worried you were saying she wasn’t that breed at all lol
