Donna , where did the white come from?
Looks very girly, but her beak almost looks yellow. Maybe its the light.

She is lavender... she was lav and yellow at hatch and has feathered in all white. No fence jumping or anything. She is from a Lav x Lav.

Of course leg color is important, but since when is it an issue in the lavenders? She brings this up alot and I wonder if she's picked up on something she saw in a cuckoo discussion.

I have Marans and it is an issue in them so it is on my list of things to look for.

Well- for future reference, I wouldn't expect you to see anything unusual in lavenders' leg color. Certainly not in the ones you got from me in Sparta.

YOU MOVED???? This chick is not from them. they are not laying yet, but soon.

No, I just have a "split" personality

Hope they start up for ya soon. I am buried in lav eggs- think I am already done for the season if 1/2 of them hatch.

Here is the link to her at hatch, what else could it be? Her leg color is blue down her shank not in her toes.

I will hatch some for ya

The new incubator holds 540 eggs and there are 180 empty spots. I have 100+ going into lock down friday and another tray of 180 3 days later

Got to finish that tower that is a brooder....

I don't have that issue

. I do have one White Lavender (I know odd) and she has very pretty almost blue legs. Don't know if I should use her yet, but she has some killer good cheeks.



Pullet right?

She has such a pretty face and big eyes!!!!

Don't tell the others but she is my fav right now

 

[Fat Chick]

Hmm. I wouldn't call her a lav- I would say she's a sport white. Recessive whites can actually be similar to that at hatch. Are you hatching more from the same parents? I wonder if you'll get more like her.
