Y'all need to be very careful. It's like saying, "Tell me about your grandchildren." You may get more than you bargained, or have time for! LOL! As a matter of fact, I got my third full blooded SC egg this morning! I have a few pics, but none on this computer. I might be able to re-post some. I'll see what I can do.

Bernie is new to the world of chicken fanciers - he had never seen a non-local chicken until i hatched 23 eggs in my living room on in the Philippines and handed him the chicks to look after.

As each hatch develops into birds his favorites shift.

Right now we have very nice English Orpingtons in Blue Black and Splash as well as Jersey Giants in the same colors (well Orps have pink feet while Jerseys are yellow). They are spectacular birds and are his fave because they are also laying well. He likes the buff orps too and prays that the month old chick we have is a roo. I am sure things will change as the younger chicks feather out.

I sent over an encyclopedia of chickens. I am getting requests for Polish, Houdans, and any top hatters from Analou.

would she fancy a silkie ?
a few of those eggs may have "fallen" into the box
along with the bronze turkey eggs

DONE!!!!!
