OHH!!! Lavender AM's sounds nice and so do the Welsummers. You know mixing those two breeds can possibly give you olive eggers in the future. That's what I was hoping for with the Marans and Am mix of mine. But really I am not sure the roo kissed his Marans hen well sigh! He is just learning and is young. Well one can only hope at this stage. Today I noticed the Am hen has gone completely broody. The roo will have to pick another favorite hen. LOL Gloria Jean
