I would, but you'd have to come and get them since I can't ship out if state

I'm in no way ready for shipping eggs.

Welcome back!

Breeding facilities in the talks with my bro. We went and looked at steel barns the other other day. There was talk of getting started on the ground pad for it soon.

Hello! I hatched some chicks and got these silvery-blue-brown... Looking chicks. One of them has fuzzy cheeks and I have three hens with a beard - a blue wheaten ee, blue laced red ee, and a barred ee.

The other chick doesn't have a beard, but feathered legs and a mauve-ish head

What did I hatch here? Dad is blue with silver barring and I'm not sure who hatched what, but I'm assuming the bearded chick came from the blue wheaten.

Edited to add a picture!

I am already there...

Who is going to be the first to offer me some of their hatching eggs?

I'm first because I already offered you hatching eggs! as a thank you for all your help.

If you want to wait, in fall I should have the WFBS grown and breeding with my blue ear Mosaics, so you could have F1 eggs.

In the meantime, I have eggs from my Black Ameraucana, originally from a show line.

Lavender is an All Black bird with recessive Lavender so when crossed with any other color the chicks will hatch all Black and will mature to be mostly black with some red/buff/Orange color leakage on the breast. Many times they look like Brown Red pattern or Birchen pattern.

Orpington x Rhode Island Red will not give you Australorps

This is what I thought till I just hatched this could this be blue? Is that possible?…. Lavender mama with fly by night n got this one …thought it would be black. I have the other chicks too to show you !

The father must be split to lavender.
I get 25% lavender from two black parents.

Roo fly by night and mama lavender from feather farms (paid way too much I’ll never do that again) they have bread true when we had a lav rooster he was horrible. And when we have bread them with non lav Roos they produce black chicks. So I tried one egg with fly by night and got that baby chick…

Here are a few of the others we got recently EE hens with fly by night. The little orange white one could be from fly by nights paint son…. Galaxy I’ve never seen them mate but it has the 5 toes. But then again I was just reading what all you posted about the extra toe and neither parents have to show it for it to appear. It doesn’t have the EE look either tho so I am thinking it’s from galaxy the silky mix. I have another set due in 5 days so I’ll get a better look see about what fly by night throws

This is where I bought that mama from like I said I’ll never do it again. They do not produce those colored eggs either they are a dark brown with dots on them. And the other one lays a lighter almost orange egg.

When buying olive egger chicks, there's almost always a risk with getting brown layers. Especially when going for further generations, like the ones in that listing
