I looked into them for a bit but must of got distracted or something because I didn't purchase any.
I really should before it's cold again and I'm beaching about it.

Ever had a chick named after you before? Well now you have! Meet Moony!

You may remember helping me figure out some genetics last winter. I sent you a photo of Moony's mother, Sidney. Her father is an Easter Egger, mom was a very expensive BCM. Well, Moony is her baby, sex unknown. I don't normally cuddle chicks after hatch, but this one is special because his grandfather was one of the best roosters I ever had and his mom, Sidney, is also very special to me.

Moony's dad is either a Speckled Sussex or a Welsummer. My money's on the Welsummer, he's a go getter!

a chick named Moony. That's something the world needs more of.
I don't remember the exact conversation (I have those maybe not often but enough to lose track) I remember you though. It's been a while.
He sounds like he's already kind of a big deal. That's awesome. Congrats. I just started collecting eggs myself so hatching shouldn't be to far off.

Here's hoping you have a great hatch with more Moonies to come!

What is your no1 favorite color/pattern?

What is your no1 favorite color/pattern?

Mmmmiiiilll......
No but I do really like it. That's tough because I'm usually most excited about my next one. I've thought about it and think a lot of that is over the creating more then the actual pattern. To go from an idea in my head to the bird in front of me makes it seem like my favorite in the moment.
Once I step back I think the one I keep going back to is Blue Silver Duckwing. I'd have to say that's my favorite.

Only 3 or 4 that's publicly admitted to it but I suspect the real number is much much higher.
The low number is disappointing but it's not from lack of trying.

I have a Lavender Orpington hen named Moony! I named her before I realized the joke here, but you can claim it. She has a sister named Sunny, so Moony seemed appropriate.
