Hi Pinks,

Looks like I'm at least a week out based on temps being predicted mid-week in N. IN. Have always had very good hatch rates from y'all on the West Coast and would like to keep that streak going! Will keep an eye on the weather and transport.

Thanks for the update.

Thank you Jeremy and Mathace. I sent a note off to Mr. Braden this afternoon. With a little luck and goodwill, more leads will come of it! My thanks and appreciation to you both

Wonderful job Lisa & so prettily painted. I didn't even paint mine. They look naked. I was thinking about painting the colors of the Brinsea incubator that they are out there to serve.....LOL

So.....what do ya'll think of this egg color?

forgot to say that these are from a Splash bird that is 1 year old. Don't be shy....tell me what you really think about them.

Pretty..pretty..pretty..Pretty!

And from a Splash no less!

Well...... this picture is kinda fuzzy and I don't know if you can see her good enough in this photo to critique...but can you give me your honest opinion about her from what you can see? I don't like the shape of her body.....to Ameraucana-ish don't you think?

Note: Not the splash bird in the back......but the splash bird in the front.

Just playing around....was washing eggs this morning and never really thought of posting pictures of this gal or her eggs. She is one of Bill's daughters out of my first attempt at Olive Eggers. I thought it would be cool to see her grow up and see her egg, she looks like an Ameraucana in every way with the exception of her single comb and then there is her egg. She's a great layer, she lays 5 eggs a week.

I think that those eggs look like they would taste darn good! My girls are making me breakfast this morning...

Pink, that is the color that I'm currently getting from my Cuckoo's & Wellies, other than that the Wellies have little dark specks on 'em.

Ok, so let me...as a novice to this...critique that Splash hen. She has a large, somewhat protruding breast and a nicely shaped "perky" tail. Is there something else I should be looking for? Looks GREAT to me!
