How long have they been in there? I candle at 4 days, because you can usually tell by the 4th day. I know your not suppose to until day 7, but I have always seen veining at day 4.

Thats what I thought also. I asked about where his stock came from and he told me 3 breeders and as far as I know those 3 are not doing too much with the lavenders.

I don't understand the light lavender and dark lavender. In my experience, lavender is lavender, and is a nice, light, even color, with maybe just a little bit of darker color on the edges of the hackle feathers of the males. I'd also appreciate seeing a pic or pics of the dark lavenders.

Thanks

So did I buy a crappy pair of "lavenders"? I hope not.

Again they may look better in person. It may be something you will have to work on, your "project". Are you going to pick them up or have them shipped? I know he is in NJ which isn't to bad of a drive from PA.

We are planning to pick them up. Also I might want to buy a black to make it a trio. If I breed them to a black would it help coloring?
