Thanks! I lucked out on most of them, but out of 11, I did get 3 or 4 mutants in the bunch. Several of the gold laced had oddball crests. One crest grew so heavily ONLY ON ONE SIDE OF THE HEAD! The poor thing ran around with her head permanently cranked to the side so she could see. I ended up hacking off pretty much the whole thing so she could function.

A couple others had the crest-in-the-eyes issues to the extreme and I am afraid I did rather a hack job of trimming the feathers!

I am kindof embarrased by them... Here is a photo of the three worst trim jobs I did:

I'm SO SORRY chickies!

I've had polish with lop sided crests, I just tie them up. They're crests will probably get better lacing once they molt. They are still gorgeous girls! I know you probably told me this already, but what hatchery did you order them from?

I really wanted the silver laced and the marble too, but failed to get my order in on time!

DH says no more chicks until these slow down laying, but he did talk me into a new hamster last night, so he apparently doesn't think we have enough pets YET.

I had actually ordered 5 WC blues, but ended up with 2 WC blue and 3 WC black - which is fine since I wanted variety.

Do you know what the marbled polish look like? The didn't have any pictures of them, and I've never seen one. Maybe they mean splash polish?

Is it possible they're referring to tolbunt? I'd love to see what they call marble!

If they sell tolbunt polish I'll be ordering a while bunch next year! I can't even find tolbunt eggs, nevermind a hatchery selling chicks! I sure hope that's what they mean

If they are tolbunt, I'll probably order some too!
