I have been in one for over 40 years and that is the key to success. Be sorry for everything in the past, present and the future. Get two t-shirts. One for you and one for me.

Here's the eyes. Let me know if these are junk, to try again.
I hate to keep giving you these if they aren't good enough for all the work you guys are doing.

He got caught in the compost bin, and injured his left eye. He's blind on that side.

I don't believe I got a reply about my queries below, about using the BCM rooster over the splash hen for blues. The question is below the picture links. Thanks.

I meant also to ask, how easy is it to breed out the carnation comb? I was planning on breeding to sell eggs to potential breeders, so I am worried I will have to start all over. I believe of the 3 hens, I can identify which eggs are hers. She is the darker gray one, with the red-orange band. I will post her pic again:

But others on this thread have commented on too much copper color on the breasts of the other two hens. So now I'm in a pickle, don't have time or resources right now to start over. Would it be reasonable to raise some of the chicks from the other two hens and see what they look like after a few months? Or, I do have the one splash hen in with my black coppers. I should get blues from her. She is from the same bloodline as the copper-breasted hens, but also 'supposedly' from a Bev Davis hen, so I would think good genes there. And the black coppers look good. I raised 10 roos from the eggs I hatched and had a hard time choosing, most of them were nice. A rare white feather here and there on the feet. Opinions on starting my blue copper line from these? Sounds like you are advising to not use that KY breeder's hen for breeding at all, no exception? Thank you, I have so much to learn!

Randy, as long as you do the wash, that's ok.
If my DH brings another t-shirt home.....
Just learn how to say "yes, dear".
Repeat that over and over. And over.
And maybe listen to whatever you are agreeing to, or else you find yourself in another heap of trouble!

hey, just wondering what kind of camera you are using...is it a point and shoot kind? The problem you are having with the camera is that it is training in to focus on the background and blurring what you are trying to get a shot of. most basic digital cameras have a macro function on the settings. I might be able to help you get your camera to give you the pic you are going for if you want
