They are! All 3 from Dahlia and Klaus. The pic is at 4 days old, so I suppose I need to get an updated pic...

I love those names!

I realized I need a blue cockerel. I have two black males covering the pen and the Blue cockerel I saved back ended up being an F1 Blue Silver-laced.

Found some otter tracks and slide pictures from back when it snowed a couple of years ago.

You can see more pics here:

I've never seen a blue silver laced. Do you have a picture?

I'm working on making some, so mine are nowhere near perfect. According to my playing in the genetics calculator, I should be able to achieve perfect Silver-lacing on a Blue body in the second generation.

Here's the first F1 pullet I produced. Bobcat got her.

You can see some faint silver in her hackle area. Her younger sister was marked a little better, but I don't have mature photos of her.

Here was the first F2 chick I produced.

Here are some Blue Silver-laced photos from Anita Heatherly with Fawn Spring Farms.

You both have gorgeous chickens!

My bantam easter babies are out with their little flock today. They are backyard mixes so I look forward to seeing what I get.

I have 4 of Delilah's in the incubator, you are welcome to any blue cockerel you like
