Gorgeous pullet, gorgeous egg.

I can't wait for my Wheatens and Blue Wheatens from Jean's eggs to reach POL!

What do you mean by she has too much "ginger color"?

Beautiful egg! That girl would never leave my farm, for any reason!

She should look more like this pullet in front of my roo: but with bluer or more slate legs.

Oh... and I promise, you will NOT be disappointed with Jean's stock, she has worked very, very hard and you can see the results.
Now we all just try to improve upon what she's started.

That is one gorgeous and dark egg! She's a keeper for sure! (Can't comment on the breeding part)

I see the difference. I guess I unknowingly did the right thing when I sold off my darker pullets. Most of them were Wheaten and had some black in their hackles and the wheaten color itself was much more "gingery" in the birds I rehomed. I'm glad I kept the right ones!

I can't wait for my babies to grow up now.

They're already so gorgeous, I'm excited to see how they mature.

I just brought home one of Juliect's black roos from AHappyChick. He is beeee-oooo-tiful! Can't wait til my lavs grow up and can join him. He'll have to house with the cochins for a few months. Pics later when I upload

Wow Mahonri, that blue egg is beautiful! (both blue eggs are!) And I think the really ginger pullet is beautiful too!

I am so glad that you like him, and I am even more glad he has a great home! This is like giving up a child, but 4 pullets and 4 roos just wasn't working out. He is a looker so he should provide some gorgeous babies. Keep me posted!

2 more roos to go...deep cleansing breathes...I can do this. The next adoptive family may have to prize my fingers off the roo, but I can do this.
