Steve~ They look great! Is that Splash a Bill boy? Where's the blues?

Are you going to share Wellie photos over in the Wellie thread too? I am really liking those Wellie girls coloration (slightly darker and richer browns and the birds). Happy Chooks would love to see them...she likes this coloration as well.

I did post a different Wellie pic on the Wellie thread here:

As far as the blues go, I re-homed 2 and kept Toby thinking he was a she. Toby turned out to be a Roo as you know. I found someone local to take him and was recently informed he was killed by their neighbors dog. SO, no blues for me this year...

There is always next year. I'll be in touch

I also re-homed the other Splash because he was a Roo, and now this little guy has turned out to be a Roo. Yes, a Bill boy! I'll probably keep him for a bit but he will need to go eventually. I really can't keep any Roos.

You guys and gals are too much! Can't believe I missed the get together.

Okay so it's killing me to know and I can't wait for the test eggs in the 'bator to hatch and those chicks to grow out to see what he throws at this point I would like opinions and guesses on plumage coloration alone........does anyone think there is Birchen in this boy? Or is he just Copper Splash?

 

[Debbi]

I still say he looks "bircheny" in the hackles to me, Pink. Splash Birchen?? Is that Dale?

Is this what my little splash boy from Bill could turn into?
