Boy?

Beautiful! I love it when they finish out with that lovely blue/lavender blend into light red. I have only one like this and I can't breed her because she has curled toes.

Aw. Is that genetic?

Aw. Is that genetic?

I've read that it most likely is, although sometimes it can be due to slippery surfaces when they are very young. I brood mine properly, so I'm going to err on the side of caution and assume it's genetic. But she lays beautiful eggs and is a very funny girl, so it's OK.

She is stunning and looks like a sweetie!

That sucks.
What color eggs?

Her eggs are a medium teal shade. Very nice!

Boy!

(has the four feather prick)


She's changed a lot.
Still not laying at 6 months? Slacker.

Just to update..
She’s a good layer of very round ice-blue eggs.
