By the way, you can't get a Splash if one of the parents is Black. Not possible. Looks like you might have a recessive White.
I would certainly hope that I'm not invoking politics. I think I said that both of them have made significant contributions.
I take exception to blanket statements, that could influence someone, that doesn't know better, into thinking that one breeder's birds are better than another's, when both are well known and both have accomplished so much within the breed.

Could be. I was a senior executive which might mean that I was quick to see both sides. I am also, by nature, strongly into "love and harmony" which is probably the real reason. That is probably why I love animals so much......especially cute little AM babies.
I now have two!!!!!!!
Horrible, horrible photo, but you can see the blur on the right which I think may be a blue and on the left, another is almost out. Then I already have the one hatched last night in the very temporary brooder. We are just barely into day 21. And just my luck, I have to go out of town in the middle of the day.
This is a learning moment for me. I have a black roo with two splash and a black hen, hoping for beautiful dark blues with great lacing, a few black and my favorite, the splash. I thought I studied my chart well before I did so. Obviously not. My other group, blue roo, black, blue and splash hens will surely give me some splash.
However, I have been secretly hoping for some recessive whites again this year as I had two last year and gave them away not knowing what they were. Last year was my first year to hatch from my foundation stock, but I gave all away to friends. If this one is white, I see another pen in my future, much to my husbands dismay.

Preference for a generic gender for a chick like cats of unknown gender are she and dogs are he?
First impression, really early guess?

Actually, I had he first, but then since I really want hens, I decided to change it to her. I have hens until reality hits and they start to crow.
