Sorry, I thought they were all from the brown eggs (didn't try to be confusing). Yes, I think #3 is a lavendar. He is very nice looking. The cockerals need new names though. My kids named them girl names in hope that it was true.
#2 is now Mr. Piggy (not Miss Piggy) and #3 is now Angelo (not Angel). #1 will keep her name of Artemis. They will go into my mixed flock next Spring (if the roos behave
)
I think I did see the picture of the chick from my eggs. You thought a cockeral - was that true?
BTW - off the three guineas that hatched, one died the first week (bottom beak was much longer than top) - but the other two are zooming all over the coop with their chicken friends. They are amazingly hard to catch even at this age.
That would be Guineas. Did you find they grew and feathered in much faster than the chicks?
Yes, they feathered in much quicker than the chicks. I just love the soft guinea sounds that they make right now. That will change when they get older and they start their warning (guardbird) sounds - not sure the neighbors will "love" that.
