Thanks Pink. He's a charecter for sure. Finally got some copper going on here!

JR, my Gnarles boy is looking good too! Nice coopering coming in there too! And, so far, he's a sweetie pie!

Did this one have a lot of white??? this blue baby??? It looks minimal... I am soo interested in this... sorry... totally "rabbit trailing".

That is a presentation similar to what I would keep... minimal white on the face... and a small bib... I find the difference in the lines super interesting... Now what about the yellow???? hmmmm do you have any with yellow??? as small ones and as grown ones...?? Anyone???

No, not a lot of white on him young. I'll find a pic.

1 or 2 days old, Blue Butt

That first clutch with Fugs and Precious had yellow chick down mixed in with the white. Fugs in particular had yellow down.

Day or two old here. Fugs far left, and yes, he was that yellow, it's not the light. Precious is the little one up front with the hairdo!
