I once tried Easter Egger x SLW's a long time ago, but it was in a crummy incubator and nothing hatched.

In due time, yes. It won't be a solid white though. BTW - love your avatar!

I recently felt almost like that once, had only one chick hatch, so for a week I pampered and babied it. . . In that time it learned that under my chin and tucked into any coat or shirt I wear is where it should sleep or just cuddle, and god forbid I leave its sight!

I was wondering if anyone else got it.
I'm new to chickens, and still freak out when they sneeze, lay down, make funny noises, have strange poo....
But I never packed one around in my beard. Not yet, at least.

Here's the one I'm asking about:

He doesn't appear to be in molt. If he once had a fuller beard, I would guess he's either hen pecked, or been fighting with another roo.
ETA: sorry I didn't finish the thought, past my bedtime

; if he's always looked sparce of beard and muffs, I would guess he only has one copy for it................ even an Ameraucana I used to have, from a reliable breeder, prooved by test breeding to have only one gene for muffs and beard

Love that he only has one tuft. He looks 'normal' in the first pic, but in the next 2 you can see his tuft. It made me lol!

Today I built a little chick pen and let the babies out for a little while these are my tow favorites. I love the coloring on this one.

She got pretty comfortable in my hand and fell asleep

I love the eyes of this one.she is the most inquisitive of the chicks:
