I have black and dun. Thinking next year I'll play with the khaki color and maybe even the platinum color if I can borrow a nicely laced blue hen. How about you?

Quote: Mine are all black, I'm a newbie, so I want to learn all I can, and get them to the point where I can show them. Then maybe play with colors.

Does the blue's lacing actually effect it's platinum offspring? All the platinum's I've seen had no lacing at all

The platinum bantams we have are laced. The color is almost like a ringneck dove-a dusty blue-grey color with a darker lacing

I have no idea, I just like this pullet at the moment. But she is still young so it will be next spring/ summer before I decide if I'm going to do it or not.

There'll be some at the Ohio Nationals, it's a really big show. It's in November. 

Are there any breeders bringing show quality Sumatras to sell? I have a fellow 4h'r going who just might bring one back to FL for me if they go. I'd like a hen to compliment our gorgeous boy and get some varied genetics.

I don't know, but their page list a sale section. You might be able to ask on their page or get a number from there to call and ask if anyone is.

Two more days before our hatch! There are only four eggs that have progressed. Two more had some veining but they stopped after just a few veins. Maybe we did something wrong. I'm still excited for the possibility of four. Hope I don't mess it up any further and they hatch.
Now I'm stressing about vaccines. What do you guys vaccinate for and where do I get them?
