BUT .... I hatched 4 females and 2 males from your eggs. Is that a common thing to do ... to cull for that reason? I haven't heard of that before. Then again, I am still in the learning phase of chicken rearing!

The Blue Marans really are my favorites right now. They are just so pretty to me.

I love the Splash nearly as much as the Blues, and they will all be in the breeder pen together next week! YIPPEE!!!!

No people don't cull fot that (at least people that know what they are doing ) it's just something that one wades thru .

How can you tell the blues from the lavenders ? i'm partially color blind (can see some colors or variations that normal person can't) , i can see that some look blue and others have a bluish different color .
Thanks ,
