I THINK I might have a 'snow leopard' in the makings... hatched out what I'm calling splash, but has faint faint buff coming in on its wings. I almost didn't notice it, thinking it was just left over FF, which EVERYONE is wearing equally well. LOL

Awesome! My little snow leopard started out white/yellow and then developed her color.

Okay...Leigh.....
Maybe you and your girls would like to take a trip to my area in the late spring.
-They can visit Notre Dame. (Go Irish)
-They can go to one of the largest Flea Markets that folks want to visit from all over the US in a Amish area. Wonderful Goot
-They can go to Lake Michigan, hang out on the dunes, swim.
-They might even get to go see Chicago.
-And they could deliver some chicks.

What could be better?

LOL! I would have to find someone to take care of my chickens for the weekend, and then find a bank to rob so I would have enough gas money.

The bank part wouldn't be too hard....

Took this picture and was just amazed at all the detail and colors in on one bird! Just thought I'd share

He is beautiful. You will be shocked how much he will change in the next few weeks! He is definitely blue based, but will be mostly red/gold at maturity. Most of the white, will go away, but he will probably be nicely flowered.

that's what I love about the breed (ok, one thing about the breed LOL) every bird is unique.

ok, this is not specific to SFHs but thought I would ask if any of you has had this happen. It's a shipped Coronation Sussex egg. Eggs were shipped on their sides which I find usually results in more bad air cells. I let them rest for 24 hrs when I first recv'd with lg end up then put them lg end up in auto turner but didn't turn for 2 more days. They are 6 days a long now. Just candled and realized one embryo was completely at the top of the egg with no air cell above or even on the sides. I found the air cell perfectly attached to the small end with no hope of it moving. All I could think to do was flip the egg and incubate with the small end up. Any one else dealt with this? thanks
