Those are probably 3 months in that picture. I have every age running around here. I swear I am stopping hatching (for at least a month) after this next big bunch, due to hatch this week.

Does khaki coloring on the wing bows of a blue indicate rooster for sure? I am seeing some coming in on my 10-week-old blue.

I just love the color of this little girl. My camera kind of washed her out a little. My question is about the little gentleman behind her with a cool "spider web" design on his chest, and yellowish white streaks in his hackles. Is that normal for a black SRB? I'm also attaching pics of a sweet splash I got from Jessimom.

The splash and the blue look great! I especially love the splash. The little guy with the mottling, not so much, for breeding anyway. He would be a cull in my breeding program. Only IMO.

Splash is gorgeous. I've only hatched a splash cockerel & a black pullet so far. I don't really know much about standards, but they are sweet birds! I have 3 more incubating now & can't wait to see results!

This is a group I hatched that are 6 days old. There are 4 black ameraucana in the picture too.

I was surprised how small they are - at hatch and then full grown. Just shows how you can read and read about a breed, but the real deal will always have surprises!

Well, at least between those two, you can breed a blue!! Yes, I agree, they seem quite sweet!!

I ended up parting with the splash male bc I got a little carried away with my first hatch & overrun with roosters! Can't wait to see what I have this time. I'm always so glad y'all are here when I start playing "guess the sex"

This little "panda" totally makes me smile. (I broke down and got a shipment from GFF. He/she makes it totally worth it.)
