Pink,

My blue splash came fron Arkansas through the mail as eggs. Their shanks are heavily feathered and I suspect the blue blue cross is giving me my feathered chicks. Yes I can separate the black roos but not all of my splash hen have a very dark egg. I will try to post pics later today. I am still trying to get the last 10 of my eggs to hatch. Today is day 22.

WOW those are your birds? Well I must say they're amazing.

- I can't see the rooster's saddle at all, and his head looks hunkered, but otherwise, I would LOVE to have a roo with a tail base and angle like that, I love his coppering, his solid chest, his good head, etc. Even the hen has a nice amount of coppering and a good head.

I don't know if I'm missing something but they pass in my eyes except for that I cannot see his saddle feathers, and they seem black from here.

Edited to say saddle feathers, not hackles. . .

And yeah, now that I clicked the link they're amazing, but he has too little coppering on the saddle feathers IMO.

Nice looking pair. How old are they?

Beautiful copper color there! I believe he is lacking saddle copper however. Great size!

The only fault I see is lack of copper in his saddle, otherwise he's a very nice looking bird. He has a great tail set.
