Oh come on Peter, you've got to have that magical black ball repaired!
I'm sure you get so tired of us less experienced Fav owners trying to hurry things along. I'm trying to listen to you and just relax and let them grow. The more I read and learn though, the more questions I have! Its just like that saying that goes "them more I learn the less I know".
One thing I have learned though, no matter how many faults they have, it doesn't affect the way they taste!
I really know how hard it is to wait. Believe me with the past season being my first breedings in many a year and with untried breedings it's been interesting to watch but I've had to put the brakes on doing much other than as we say out here lurking around the corner from them.
I'm really glad some of my humor is gotten out here. Chick, you're correct, the more we think we know the more we can be unproven.
Ok! I'm gonna throw this out here first before I send it to auction.
Check these out.

These are my SURPRISE ee'r eggs from the feral btms that are the most pet like little creatures I've raised since doing meat birds. I'm offering a dozen bred to Rupert. giggle. Whaddaya think?

Peter pullets hatched from those eggs have a possibility of being "olive eggers". I have two hens that were sired by Emmet and have an EE mama. One of them lays a blue/green egg like the mama hen but the other lays an olive egg. Here are pictures of them (we call them Frick and Frack) and their eggs.
The egg on the top left next to the Marans egg is from the "olive egger". It is actually more olive colored than it appears in this picture. Also, the darker egg on the bottom right is an egg from my Fav pullet.
