That's for sure!! Very nice flock you have........it won't be long and they'll be sitting on eggs and you'll have many more blurs!!

Me too! I have NONE ! ! I have hatched some, but never did keep them. Darn it!

My favorite, of all the pictures I have seen so far, is the other Mary's blue girl. Gawd, she is gorgeous!

Now, that blue looks just like mine - think I'd better go out and do a head count!

All of those birds are just beautiful I like the mottled ones too. My Main roo is mottled so I'm looking forward to getting some interesting babies this spring.
