LOVE your babies, @HuffleClaw ! They're obviously happy. I've always wanted a Pastel hen, but alas, mine was a drake.

Totally forgot....her name is GRAYZ. So original.

Thank you!!

Grayz is adorable! Is her name like Grace, but Grayz instead?

You're more than welcome, and thanks!

In a way, since some call her Grace. But to me, she's GRAYZ, all capitals. Let's just say I got lazy during the naming process.

You can see it in this picture... does anyone know why one of the pastel hens has dark feathers in her chest? The other pastel has all light ones...

Btw, I know the one pastel is a drake. I mean this one:

Curious. . what makes her nutmeg instead of chocolate? I would've guessed chocolate.

Not sure how I missed this, I'm glad @Pyxis answered!

If no one minds if I answer, I can answer

Chocolate is solid chocolate - a bird that would be extended black, but is diluted to chocolate.

Nutmeg is a mallard/gray colored bird that is also chocolate dilute.

I now have 3 that color. The chocolate and nutmeg are visibly different shades of brown, but thank you for explaining the genetic difference. I'll try to get a pic of some together.
