Do I see some barring on his wittle head?

Nice job CJ! -- what a good-looking chicken.
Wow the new BYC seems to have HD pictures -- bigger, brighter and better. -- Meanwhile I'm still struggling with an internet problem - alas. There's always something.

Seems like I'm seeing two distinct Phenotypes of the juvenile barred-females... Will try to get some picts before weekend. - Not enough males old enough to see different phenotypes.
For sure the females are lav/lav and B/- -- Could the same genotype express different phenotypes -- ?

Welcome back everybody!

You sure do! I am in love with these little guys.

Well how do you like that? You CAN cut and paste picts with the new BYC.

These are the parent Isabels that have moved to their next home. These two females are showing the adult plumage of the two pheno-types that I'm seeing develop EXCEPT, the pullets that I have here have a barring gene.
Basically the foreground female has the more light neck-hackles and the darker body and the background female has the lighter body and the darker neck-hackles.
Gotta hop to the feed store now the chick-feed sack is empty.

I waited too long to take new pics and check bands and they've all fallen off but one.

Put the babies on grass today. We are DESPERATE for a grow out pen. I'll get pics and try to match them to their band colors. Hope y'all want to help.

I'm ready...although I can't say your should listen to anything i have to say!

Oh no! However, falling off is preferable to growing in, so there's something good about the situation.
