Cyn, does that ever get old. I bet not. That is the sweetest thing, I love how they think that you are their mama. Way to cute for words.

Looks like a definite Blue. The blues and blacks usually have the white on the breast. Very cute. Julie in Al

Congrats, then, Cyn!

Julie, you're right. As it fluffs out and dries, it is definitely a blue, a light one like the last 4 week old one I have. I think the two Ameraucanas are black, but one is lighter, but only slightly, so I thought it was blue at first. NEVER call them till they're dry, LOL! The Barred Rock appears to have pullet coloring, at least.

did i hear cynthia say she (HOPEFULLY) hatched a pullet???

sorry, couldn't resist - i've seen other threads where you've said that you have a knack for selling your pullet eggs!

congrats on those cuties!

At least with the Barred Rocks, I don't have to wait a month to know what I have, usually-one reason I love the breed.

Well, I'm going into Day 20 with two Ameraucanas, then Nov 21 a couple more of those, then the 24th, six Ameraucanas and two Blue Orps then on Dec 2 a Barred Rock and two more Blue Orps. Then, if I have the pullets I need, I'm done for the year.

Wow, that little blue one snuggled up to your hand had better be a pullet!!! She is way too cute!!!

Congrats, Cyn!!!

You have got some beautiful babies! One day I am going to get up the nerve to hatch and when I do I want to get my egg babies from you!
