Another Splash Orpington

[speckledhen]

Aw, I love the silvery color they start with! I just hope ANY of the abused eggs I got this week will hatch, and I'll take any color at all.

They are so fluffy and cute now. 3 splashes and a blue so far. I am keeping track of what she laid and how it incubated and hatched.

OMG, that is the cutest baby. I wish I could have some LF orpingtons. I tried hatching bantam blue ones and only got two babies and then one was killed by a trespassing dog. The one left is a male. So now I need a female. Very cute baby.

Watch those splash orps. Don't let them knock your kids of theirs bikes.

Now Miss Prissy, are you keeping all these wonderful little splashes all to yourself, or are you willing to share with those of us who are drooling covetously over them????

 

[MissPrissy]

You can have most of them if you want them. But I don't ship. You'll have to come get them. They are all cockerals. Still want them?

 

[mudderhen]

I sure wouldn't mind having a couple. How old are they, and how in the world do you tell what they are going to be that early on?

Once you raise a few hundred chicks you get hints and get a very good idea of who is who and what sex they are.
