Don't think I've ever seen it

Right now she just has fawn and penciled. So I'm debating if I want to get both colors and then try to figure out something housing wise so that I don't get intermixed colors when I hatch or if I just want to stick with one color…
If you ever get into showing, fawn color is easier to get right.
 
Yes! I'll have a minimum of 20 single paired pens for starters. I'll do an additional several quads of pen matings and go from there.
I'm doing more specialized pairings this year in that I'll be doing same color to same color more. I had been doing some black based standard whites to blacks in order to get better blacks. The white standards are really nice already. Some of the pairs will be allowed to hatch a second brood if they want to, which is usually all of them. I have several hens that are acting broody already, but with the freezing temperatures the eggs freeze and therefore won't hatch. Plus, I'm taking the eggs until more suitable weather for hatching.
Wow sounds like you're really set up for a good year
