Lavender.

I'm wanting the color! She's gorgeous

I'm pretty sure her colour is from a gold-laced wyandotte and it should be really easy to get a few of those.

To tide you over, here is my latest episode of “Movies in a Minute”.

Cool! I'm waiting for your new song too

This one. I think you said it was for a wedding.
I have a dragonfly shawl pattern I enjoy making but I do like this one.​

Found it! This was 5 years ago, and I have a baaaaad habit of finding a pattern, making it without adding it to my project record....i also have several THOUSAND patterns saved in my ravelry library, and also have a habit of using a bit of this pattern and a bit of that pattern and this trick from a book, and a twist from my imagination....makes it challenging to make again when I really like something, but gave it to someone.

Like this one? I have 2.....11 weeks. No Brahma, no silkies....maybe Mama will go broody next spring....but she's vicious when she's broody.... maybe Dora (the Dorking) will go broody and be all Mama Bear, but not with me....partrige rock eggs crossed with giant and golden Wyandotte eggs (if I can tell them from Silver's) crossed with either giant or Hamburg = maybe hatchlings, grow up and cross them....wait, depredations.....chicken math! my head hurts

Fascinating, but probably a little cruel at the same time.

Revenge is sometimes cruel!

Yes. I may not have understood correctly but blue & white are the only *true* colours. Brown is an overlay on either white or blue. So genetically if you have a marker for blue & a marker for brown the blue would dominate & you would get blue eggs but if 2 brown markers line up you would get brown eggs ~ & that's assuming I have some grasp of my very limited biology classes.

Not quite. A blue marker and a brown marker= a blue egg with a brown overlay: green to olive depending upon how dark the brown is.

Outstanding. You are so talented! I loved it.

Aww, thank you!

Thank you! I can't wait to share my song, it's a (sad) true story.
