Thanks, I read about the 50/25/25% coloring thing before and promptly forgot all about it! But thanks also for the info on which color might be which color as an adult, I haven't found that info anywhere on line yet. (Not to mention I'm spending more time looking at them than on line today!) I ordered all straight run and of the 15 golden buffs looks like I got mostly female. That is sort of nice but it's going to make it harder to pick ones to keep. All those roosters are going to freezer camp since they are hybrids. I wonder what a golden buff female crossed with a blue andalusian rooster will get me? Dang, I wish I had the facilities to keep multiple roosters because when the next chicks arrive in June I'll also have the possibility of a dark cornish and blue laced red wyandotte rooster.

Decisions, decisions!

Hey, would you have a photo of what an adult splash would look like? My husband just asked, and if he's interested I want to continue keeping him interested. He's my coop builder after all.

edtited to add: Oh, just found some photos on feathersite. They have a photo of a blue, black and splash chick. Mine are looking more blacks than blues, but then I really have no idea!

In the Golden Buffs, the yellow ones are males, the red ones are females. And in the Andulusions, which I have, there is no sex links in them. The Andulusions come in different colors, there are black, blue, and splash. In the next to the last picture I see one, that is drinking, looks like it is going to be blue, and I see a couple of splashes in there also. The three pale yellow with a hint of blue will be splash.

LOL..... but ummm NO. NO baby bunny for me. Thanks anyway. Just raise it and turn it loose you hard donkey

Who are we kidding? If I raise it, it'll be come a pet. Which is the last thing I need.

It's less than a week old -- both eyes and ears still closed and very little fur -- so there's a good probability it'll die regardless of what I try to do for it, but you know there's always that possibility it'll live just to spite me. LOL!

I don't have one right now but if I get time I will get one later. They are beautiful. I myself prefer the splashes over the other ones.

You guys are killing me with all the bunnies! We had dwarf rabbits when I was little, and while I loved my rabbit and cared for her, they were not terribly interactive or affectionate pets... You all keep tempting me to get bunnies for my kids, lol, but, okay, who has kids with bunnies, and how much do they really interact and play? I mostly remember cleaning up after mine, and finding weeds she liked.

Anybody want a baby bunny? Found a den in the potato bed while I was turning it for planting today.

Managed to spear three of the four kits with the pitchfork, but the fourth is alive and I may be a hard donkey in general but killing babies whose eyes aren't even open is not something I relish and DH is worthless, he has a fit and has to leave the room when I put chicks down. LOL!

Olive, it's a good thing I am pretty sure you are too far away from me, or I would be just your sucker.
