Stephanie and Ugz' first dtr.

#32..she is a slight trouble maker too, but I love her.

Here she is jumping into the middle of a pile of tomatoes to scatter everyone else.

the only pullet to hatch from Johans eggs this year

and one of the pullets that I kept from Stephanie and Ugz this year...the other is the little tiny tiny one that happened. Molty Ugz is in the side of pic.

Miss Molty Stephanie herself..

Kim - they look quite a bit darker than Stephanie. Very pretty!

Aubrey - sorry, I didn't know the answer as I don't show my birds. Your girl is very nice though!

How's her egg color?

It was stated by another breeder here that if you perfect the lacing, you will lose the egg color.

Thanks! I wish I could get better photos of them to show their lacing, they never stand still and are running all over the place. They are darker than Stephanie which I like a lot and Stephanie happened to be standing right in the sun and the others were not. I can't figure out what is different about their lacing vs. Stephanies and why Stephanie seems so much lighter or should I say so much more colorful.

Very interesting about the more perfect the lacing the lighter the egg color.............maybe that is why Stephanie's and #32's eggs are light, they have fabulous double lacing.


Ohhhhh.......first Blue Laced Barnie project baby is here and the second BLB project egg has pipped. I also have 2 pips in the Barnie eggs.

Congrats on the newly hatched babies Kim, and good luck with the ones that haven't hatched yet.

Thanks!

This is "Stoo", short for Stoopid... Stoo has managed to crawl out of the hatching tray into the back of the Sportsman by the vent holes and I had to take the hatching tray out and fetch him/her. Then Stoo made him/herself at home on top of the rest of the eggs and told a story about it....and now Stoo is resting comfortably in the front of the hatching tray in between it and the door.

Stoo is the 1st Blue Laced Barnie project baby.
