where does one get quality hatching eggs for BAs? Or for blue, or for splash? for any color, really? all i ever see are eggs from hatchery stock.

I dont know but I was going to start breeding them but my little roo might have some defects.

I guess I could get a nother one though.

howdy willow, at this point he is way too young to determine anything other than his eye color which should be a very dark brown almost black. sometimes the eye color can change as the bird matures. his feathers he has now are going to fall out one by one and be replaced by adult feathers which will certainly be a greenish black sheen.

if he continues to produce brown feathers then more than likely he is a crossbreed but i wouldnt be concerned till he is 6-7 months old.
enjoy his company and love him no matter what he is or what he is to be!

keep in touch and keep sending pics, we love to see him as he matures!
have a great sunday!
