Pretty, My favs are the barred with gold neck colored ones. Nice shape on those. Thanks for sharing

What variety are they?

It rained all day here but I did coax some of the kids out side with a little corn and oats. Pictures are not great because it was about 5 O'clock and cloudy.....but it's been a while since I shared some pics of the cuties

All the pretty Orps! I think I got my orp fix..I think..

What variety are they?

On the pictures above everything except the black hen was hatch from Crele/Legbar orpington imported eggs - even the lavender/tan boy (except the cuckoo orps of course - they are pure cuckoo orpingtons)

I think they are on the right track but a variety of color, as can happen with this variation. I am hoping to get them a little more consistent. I have pictures of the sire but I never did get pictures or any information on the hens he was bred to. This is a picture of the front roo in the picture of three, almost resembles a very dark partridge (black copper marans color).

This is November



Very interesting color - no barring

This is today

Dee, do you have any other Gold Laced chicks hatching for your singleton chick yet? I can't wait to see pictures!

They're drying. Sweet babies. The first one to hatch kept trying to help the others. At one point, it sat on top of one that was hatching. Poor little guy had to work twice as hard.
