Well, one of my mottled java girls laid her first egg the other day and I accidently used it to make a delicious eggplant dish before I even got to take a photo or check for fertility. (doesn't matter about the fertility. She is in with the orps right now. It will take months before the roosters are old enough to earn their keep.

I will ask the lady i got my eggs from if she will give me some to give to you, you pay shipping. She is a nice lady and is trying to ge more people interested in the breed. She doesn't sell her eggs, she gives them away, and her birds are gorgeous!!! I will drop her an email right now and see what's up in java-land... She is the same lady I got my splash ameraucana pair from too. She shows and likes to have good chickens.

I love Javas! I waited along time to get some eggs and had a wonderful hatch out of the eggs.

Here is when the were just a couple days old

I will have to take some pictures of them this weekend if the rain ever stops. They are a few months old now.

Just to warn you guys, the eggs she gave me were ranged from new to "expired" and I had really low hatch rates, without shipping them. Not sure why she kept them that long before she called me to pick them up. I only live ten minutes from her house. I know she was not trying to sabotage my hatch or anything like that, because when I picked up the eggs, she handed me four that were a few days from hatching, as well as a couple of less than a week old chicks and said "Here, take these for an extra start."

Mottled java chicks will have a considerable amount of yellow mixed in with them. The black java's will be mostly black with a smaller amount of off white color on the breast or throat area. In regards to some of the pictures shown above ideally you want to have darker legs on the blacks. Leg color has been a big issue with javas, possibly the biggest issue imo. I'm attaching a few pics here of the color varieties. I have black, mottled, white, and auburn varieties.

First pic is one of my mottled hatches mixed in with a few araucanas.

The next pic are some blacks hatching.

The next pic are of the whites.

And lastly this is an auburn chick. Notice the partridge like coloration.
