I posted some info about the eye color and melanizers a couple of weeks ago. I will try to find it again.

Here is an updated photo of that little carnation comb, he's like 6 -7 weeks now.

Yep! But as I watch this one, I tell myself it is in my best interest, so it helps.

I suppose that would be true at least. I just can't wait til spring...seriously. I think it should be a really good year!

thank ya ma'am. I do like him lots. That black ameraucana boy that tries to take cheap shots at me from time to time hates this splash boy since he is my guard chicken. Big Boy follows me the whole time I do chores and if the black boy gets too close, he's in for it! I know my birds are not perfect by any means, but they will make good breeders and have some of the best personalities. They make this place better!

Their personalities make them all worth while, especially the ones that are like lap chickens. My Bill is that way....one of the reasons he is my favorite and that I love him so much.

I don't have too many that are lap chickens...I wouldn't mind if I did, but they know my voice and come running and just like to be wherever I am. I love it. People that think chickens have no personality are crazy!
