I like the dark blue, is that the original color?

Yes the blue is the original color. Our recycle cart (which is HUGE by the way) is just a tiny bit darker. That blue was supposed to be a purple.
It bugs the daylights out of me.
So the original plan was purple.
I have a few of the tiny samples that are assorted colors. I mixed some to get the purple on top of the bench.
I will adjust it a bit more to get a better purple.
The really dark purple matches my iris though.

Unless you have experienced help, I would start with one bird and work your way up. I can do 3 on a good day. If the Milk Drinker were older and I had more competent help I might be able to do more in a day. My first rooster took me about 1 hour to eviscerate and I botched the first cut for bleeding the bird out (we use a killing cone). I don't think my nerves could have handled doing a second bird on the same day.

Processing can be challenging. I can do 300 birds per day and then do cut ups every 3 minutes..But in the end i'm exhausted...

The pantry looks pretty now. And so much extra shelf space! We had a LOT of junk in there.

I don’t think the kitchen is getting cleaned today.

You know the eggs I got from @WVduckchick with the chocolates I bought from her? Here are the BC/Chocolate Orp babies I hatched back in March. There are 12 of them. I originally had 13, but one passed away after 4-5 weeks.

I got lucky in the gender department and have 5 cockerels and 7 pullets.
I think this cockerel would be considered a dark blue.

Here is a normal blue.

I got 2 Splash Roosters. I think their mother was the Mauve hen I didn't get. This one is the biggest of the bunch.

This guy is the the next to smallest, except for.....

Tiny. He's half the size of the small splash above. He's feisty enough for a bird 10x his size.

I think this girl is technically a splash, but she doesn't haven any spotting in her feathers. She is absolutely beautiful.

The two girls below are definitely splash.

This girl is the only black besides Tiny.

And I have 3 blues.

I love all the tales from the coops. All the baby birds are so freaking cute!

I have a small issue......
My 7 year old bantam cochin is being very bad.
She is yanking feathers from my other birds.

My poor giant blue cochin is looking more like a naked neck, my Barnavelder is being plucked on her back as is my other giant blue.

I saw her pulling feathers.

She may have to live alone in my broody coop.
