Thanks Julie, I have her sister who is identical but lacing is not as dark, she is the blue behind that one. they are both huge. and lately the other ones lacing is getting darker too, is that typical? coloring and lacing change a lot as they mature?

 

[BamaChicken]

Yes it can change and after they molt for the first time too. I am glad you have been able to get a pair of them.

Nothing more thrilling or exhilerating than watching them freerange in yard
