Hi Crystal

Cute little Cuckoo. Even though you only have one, the name of the breed is Marans, with an S at the end.

Where abouts in MO are you??

Dale is really pretty. I have one light blue copper roo who is so light he is almost splash. He has blond coppering almost isabel -ish. He is pretty but not sure if I am gonna cull or not. I don't need more that I won't be using for something specific lol.

Pink, Your black girl looks very much like mine. Olivia does have, so far, black eyes, face, comb & wattles! Black, black, black! She isn't a Bill daughter though, unless the egg got marked wrong. She does have some feathering on the shanks too.

He is a product of Gnarles and the BCM pullets from Greenfire Farms. His eyes are the greenish color.....they will change out to be the pumpkin orange they are suppose to be...I'll put money on it. But Geebs....he has an stupid on his comb....and extra little point in between two of his regular points....not a sprig that sticks out to the side, but right in the middle.

Debbi~ Mel has 2 gals just like them as well and they are Davis.
I'm tellin' ya.....I am sure I could have mis-marked a few of the eggs out of that pen, Bill's dark blue daughter who was in there at that time lays just like the BCM's. Not now of course....she has decided to go broody, and check this out, so have 4 other gals. I now have 6 broody hens and it is making me CRAZY!!!!!!!!

Don - neither appear to have a tail that STAYS to one side, but, instead moves side to side as they walk/move. (that's normal, right?)

BUT another boy from that breeder did....think it will come through in all the stock from that breeder??

Good Morning, Friends! Hey, Guess What?

IT'S RAINING HERE!!!! AND THE TEMP IS ALREADY UP TO A SWELTERING 51 DEGREES! However,

the second joint of my third toe on my left foot is getting a slight kink when I face the south and that always means we are in for a change in weather, so...I would look for warm, sunny weather by this weekend.

( are ya' happy now, Pinkchick? )
I am sure looking forward to the eggs from these birds that I have gotten from Pink. Especially the black hens....

Any clue as to what happened to that Splash Davis Roo, Kim?
