Congrats on the Smith chicks ... got mine about a month ago and loving watching them grow.

I think I want to order some blacks from Paul Smith for next year. When is the best time to order? Late fall/early winter?

I think I ordered mine in late fall, but I'd email him to see. His email is psmith AT ntin.net (just remove spaces and replace AT with @ in case you don't have it.

So my wheaten parents have bay color eyes. Ive never payed attention but the babies have a grey blue eyes. I guess eye color on wheatens is one of those things that change with age or no.

Most chickens eyes will change color.... not just wheatens.

[/IMG] these are pictures of my less than a week old Americaucana chick with my 3 buff Orp's. Interesting coloration looks like a duck chick less the webbed feet. Any way to tell coloration at this stage??

You've got yourself a nice Easter Egger there. They don't breed to a standard, so no way to predict what the color will be. That's one of the fun things about EEs
