Thanks, guys!
Mahonri: Yes, I got all of my eggs from Wayne last year, but I guess that's the nature of hatching eggs - even in the best of flocks there will always be a few culls, and you won't know until they hatch. If you look close at the hen in the foreground, she technically has a beard & muffs, but tiny. I've heard (?) that means she only got one copy of the gene, so, in theory, I could breed her to a bird with full beard & muffs and 50% of the chicks would have full beards & muffs, but I don't have the capacity to hatch a lot of eggs at once, so I'll probably only incubate the eggs from the nicest 2. If I can find a Wheaten cockerel. Otherwise they'll all be making pretty table eggs...
