~Silly Roosters~
Today I was outside in the garden and I hear cluck cluck and scratch scratch. I look up and in this old abandoned plant pot there is one of our Lav males just standing in there. Hmmm

I come a little closer and say "whatcha doing?"
He said, "Who Me?"

"What do you have in there?" I hear scratch scratch and it obviously isn't the rooster I see...

AH HA!!!! So that's what's going on. I've noticed that the young roos around here like to practice making nests. The first guy was standing guard while the other roo pretended to be the girl making the nest lol.

Upon closer inspection..

Silly Roosters!

I am setting a couple dozen lavender orp eggs next week. It will be so nice to have lavender orp babies running around again. I haven't hatched any for a while!!!

Caught a funny pic of Tank & Cuddles today.


Then my jealous camera hog got in the way.
She doesn't understand why anyone would want to take a pic of anything else but her!

Splits are a result of breeding black to lavender. They will be black chickens carrying one copy of the lavender gene. You need 2 copies to produce lavender, so, if you breed the resulting chicks to a lavender you'll get some lavenders and some blacks. I do this to improve feather quality and add fresh genetics to my flock.
