Random PICS - Araucana, lavender projects, etc

[hinkjc]

Not the best pics, but I thought some might be interested in seeing some new pics of my perties.

DeeDee and Dragon - rumpless araucana

Sandy - rumpless araucana

Bluey - tufted rumpless blue araucana

Spartacus (lav project cockerel from Shaffer) and black tufted araucana gals (Jett, Karlie and Molly)

Araucana pullet (laid her first eggs this week)

More araucana growing out:

Lucas (lav orp project cockerel) and split black orp pullets:

Notice Big Bear (split lav/black orp cockerel) and his pullets in the background of Lucas' pics - one of those girls laid their first egg today (on the right in comparison to a buff orp egg below)..

WOOHOO!!! Lav eggs are starting!!! Congrats!

Sonny is getting soooo big! His crow is wonderfully deep sounding, and he's getting nice hackles and saddle feathers. Very deep, beetle green sheen.....what a beauty he is. I hope he is as gorgeous and big as Big Bear...

I'm so glad you posted these! What purty babies! Would you mind looking at these from your eggs and tell me what you think?
They are now almost 6 weeks old and I love them!!
I ended up with 2 dark rumpless, 2 white rumpless, 2 white with tails and 1 with a tail and a left tuft--of course named Lefty. I'm afraid that Lefty has crooked toes, though. I tried to straighten them, but with no luck. I don't have a clear pic of Lefty, but I have some of the others.

Lucy--she (I hope) has a beautiful purple sheen in the sunlight!

Here's a not so good pic of Lefty

Some of the white gang

Thanks so much for these babies! They are well loved!

Hi Becky, they look great. The first 2 dark ones look like pullets. I'm not sure on the whites, but in the last pic the one on the left looks like it could be a male and the one on the right a female. I would love to see more pics of the first dark one as it grows more. I don't believe I've ever seen mottling in the chest like that on mine but I don't really focus on blacks much here anymore, but I believe the gene is still present. Please keep me posted on her. Good job with the hatch.
