BEAUTIFUL!

I have Lavender and Lavender/Split eggs from Pips&Peeps in the incubator, due September 17th! So nice to see pictures of what they will look like!! Thanks for posting them!

I hope mine end up that nice! They've been in this reeeaaalllllly long ugly stage. They look like something from Fraggle Rock.

Oh Dak- I love the blue pullet! She's so "girly"

I'm betting my lavs will grow up to look like yours- most of them are really shaggy. I have one pullet that looks like she has tufts instead of a beard, but still really cute. Are yours super friendly? You'd think mine are part cochin- they are so sweet!

how dark or how light does the blue need to be? I have a blue pullet who is really dark I think maybe too dark I just want your opinion on this? If you would like I could post a picture or go take new ones.

I like it when the blue is dark, but not too dark to see lacing. I have a banty roo that at first glance seems black, but the beard gives him away as a blue. Not sure if it's true or not, but I would think the darker blues would be better breeders if you also have some splash birds in the mix. Anyone know how that works out? That's what I do with my BBS cochins and I seem to get good results.

I see people show the birds with really thin lacing giving the bird a lighter appearence. My little pullet she has really thick lacing and she has a darker apperance. I've been debating showing her but she doesn't have near the beard or muffs I like but she has a body style I like. I'll have to go out and take a picture.

This was taken in April she was about 4 months old then. She is about 9 months old now

it does not matter what shade of blue they are... they are still blue... if you breed splash to blue u will get a lighter blue if u breed black to blue u will get a darker blue... at shows the judges seem to prefer a darker laced blue like the pics futher up this page... but they are all still blue lol...
