12 Weeks, hatched March 8. $7 each. In Moore County, NC.
1 Black Australorp
2 Australorp x French Cuckoo Marans. 1 Blue Cuckoo with feathered legs, one Black Cuckoo with clean legs.
Red-band was clearly blue as a chick, but matured so very dark a blue that it's hard to tell that he's not black. When breeding blues the darker shades are generally favored.
As a chick, Purple-band was clearly black. Presently he's the same color as his FCM mother.
1 Blue Crossbreed, probably Australorp x Orpington x SLW. I thought that Captain was pure Blue Australorp until he developed the gold epaulets on his shoulders. He's the earliest-maturing of the batch and undisputed leader.
