not really breeding per-say but seperating the breeds & a couple grow out pens! Way easier to clean out! & feed & water.

No, there is actually a gene for the blue eggshell: O for oocyanin, the chemical that causes the eggshell to be blue. It is formed in the liver, circulates through the blood to the shell gland where it is secreted as an eggshell. The-Coop has some old discussions on egg colour that are pretty interesting. Other than the blue egg gene, there are a TON more egg colour genes (at least 13!)

Hee hee, you said "colour".

What part of town are you in? We have been meeting at Coffee Rush on Gilbert and Baseline. We were floating to Seattle whatever by request.

I don't think I'm going to be able to make it. Think I caught the bug DS had.

Oooh pretty Sassa fras roo!

The little black chick died last night (I KNEW something was off with him). The egg that pipped is almost out, and the other 2 are doing great. I hope I get more than three! I think one is lavender and one is a blue, but I don't know.

nurseshelly - feel better!

They're here, they're here!

Oh my goodness, my hands were SHAKING as I drove to the post office to pick them up!! But now that they are home, I'm wondering what all the fuss is about?! They are beautiful, lively, happy little chicks!!!

They drank their water, ate some food, are pooping and seem to be doing just dandy! (I just hope they STAY that way!!!)

I am so IN LOVE!!!

I don't want to give away the other 21 chicks now, LOL.
