Browncows rooster is beautiful. I hope Cricket looks like that when he gets older.. He is half EE half Wyandotte.

Not sure on how soon fertility starts, but just watch for a "bullseye" when you are cooking eggs.





There is a ton of great info on the whole hatching process here :

He is getting more copper in his hackles now. Ill take a picture of him tomorrow. He is lightening up a lot. He is looking less and less like Gus everyday. Your EE's are half Wyandotte?

The dad Red


He fathered all but a few.
The lavender orps and black australorps probably had some to do with it late summer, when Red was in "jail".
