very cool I can't wait to see how they feather out. Dun wheaten would be another cool project! Great Progress!

Thanks to some wonderful BYC breeders, my latest hatch has ended with 7 lavs and 8 splits. They are so cute!! I have another set going into lockdown this weekend. Happy!!!

I have 35 BBS and Lavender Bantam eggs from Sally ( Little Ameraucana Mom ), we've been having a bunch of power outages and I just hope my eggs are okay!

They're due 4/7

I have not kept up with the thread; working two jobs right now. I apologize if I have missed anything. For those of you who have pen "B" chicks from me here is the latest picture of the male in that pen. He is still a cockerel, not yet a year old. Harold Shaffer breeding. He's in with two nice lav pullets and four Smith pure black pullets. If you've gotten those Smith eggs, you know just how big they are.

This is him as a chick

More chicks

Are you sure all the F1's have the red markings? I hatched a few pullets that appear solid black.

LAVS-
I fell in love with them from what I now belive may have been photoshopped pictures - couldn't tell you which ones or from whom right now.
Tell me, in real life, are they blue/purple - ish? Or just light grey?
