Nope, you look bored to death!

Who are you getting your chicks from?

Getting them from Cackle... Worried about them getting here with all the flooding though.
I am hoping they come early to the PO so that I can take them to school at let the kids see them.
We are also getting white silkies and golden laced polish with the order.

I am familiar with the standard BO... the bantams have to be even cuter...

Thank Tonya, she is a Buff Mottled that popped up from my Mille Fleur project. Her color is really beautiful in person.

So are you gonna try and make more like her? Would her offspring be splits and then when bred together should they be mottled? I love her golden color.

I'm ordering from Cackle, and I'm trying not to add Bantam BO's to the list...but!!

I know who the hen is just not sure which cockerel as it is from my mille fleur bantam orp pen and they are all in together. I will be setting more of her eggs this Friday so we'll see in 21 days!!

I can also take this pullet to my buff rooster and should end up with splits (??) then take her best son to breed back to her giving me more mottles. I will probably work on that later this fall when she starts laying, I have some really nice buffs from David Crotts.
