Yes, and I have some pics too. Out of 14, ten are black. I also have a couple of pics of the older 5 chicks. I will post them later. I need to shut off the computer soon because a storm is headed this way.

WOOHOO...PICTURES..PICTURES...PICTURES.

Here are some.

The new arrivals.

Sleepy baby.

And the older group. Here are the 2 yellow ones a week ago.

A group shot of the older ones. Please excuse the messy pen, I've been gone all week.

And the yellow pullet cross chick.

It'll be interesting to see what they look like after their first moult. I would think all you need is the best male out of these chicks and breed him back to the three black hens. Chicks from that mating will be 3/4 Faverolles. The 2 yellow ones from a week ago almost look like salmons. hmmm
