Awesome!

Keep in mind I'm a noob & cannot decipher initials yet...What kind are the black ones and do your production reds have chipmunk stripes on their backs?

I only know RIR

... and I am thinking that egg I just posted a picture of, must be the most expensive egg in the world!

OK- the DH just found a sweeeeeeet incubator on CL. Is anyone here the person selling it? It is the big cabinet thing.

GSL = Gold Sex Link
PR = Production Red
BA = Black Australorp (hard to say - we've been saying Aussies)

The PRs do not have chipmunk stripes but our lightest GSL does.
The PRs do have a darker brown line on their head, though.

I know! isn't that cool!

Cool - I got some Australorps too. Now to memorize your picts & figure out the difference between them & the Barred Plymouth Rocks.

My husband started out talking about how expensive the eggs were and when our break even point would be. Now he just encourages me to get more chicks. When I was talking about ordering 4 chicks he said "why not get six?" I think he's starting to finally get chicken math.

The BR (Barred Rocks) should have a white spot on their head and, if they are pullets, grey on the front of their yellow legs. The BAs have mostly white legs with some black patches.

Excellent, I see the fuzzy white spot! Cannot see much leg from this vantage point...
