Wow I love the coloring...How did you come by making this color?

When you do projects, you get all sorts of oddities. I hatched two of these boys and kept them, although I am willing to sell one if anyone is interested in working on the colour pattern. Plans would be to remove one copy of blue, increase neck striping and even out the body colouring (it's somewhat patchy).

Do you have pics of the two boys you kept? I am pretty sure mine is a girl.

Just wanted to show off my new chicks from Bobbi Porto. Here are a few pics...

I only have my phone to take pictures right now, so I'll get some better ones when I get my camera back.

Well here is almost all of my flock! I just have blue, black, and splash. Pretty much all of the blacks are looking a mess because I have been breeding them. They go broody so often! The splash are about 5 months old if I remember correctly.

Momma and her babies!

This rooster beats up his girls! Poor things!

Hen with white earlobes =/

Blue cockerel

Splash cockerel

Some gorgeous splash hens!

Your splashes are beautiful and your black girls look better than my girls they are all bald for silkies and my splash hens well no one would believe they are silkies right now and they are starting to molt....very nice flock.
