Both gorgeous pullets. They both look like they will be large and fluffy.

Here are a few growers I have running round the yard today.
Young splash boy that is very broad

young blue promising pullet

Blue large fluffy girl with great lacing but to dark

Some younger ones.
Just about finished feathering.

nice to see chucks when the chicks are so unwell, very sad - hope you get to the bottom of your problems klf

here a couple of blue banties I bred last year, colour is messed up as the light was poor. on top of the table in the 2nd pic is Igor, a runt raised by about 7 broodies, she had the sweetest nature, and is now a terrible spoilt chuck that pecks my hand, 2nd girl has a nice wing but not enough tail. last pic is a bantie blue I bred a couple of years ago next to a so so large girl, she did very well in the show pen . Shame she didnt last long enough

Julie, I like the little Splash boy, his face reminds me of my Edmund.

mgmog, the last picture with the bantam & LF Blue is spectacular! Both hens are very, very pretty.

I wish I lived where you do so I could have access to all of the Orpington colors.

Think the splash is very gorgeous. He looks so sweet in the face.

beautiful birds everyone....
I called the state vet and I think they are closed on Fridays(budget things and 4 day work weeks

). While messing around online I realized I had an avian vet only a few miles down the road, wish I realized it earlier....not sure if they can help but I don't see why they can't test them if they do birds, right? I will call them first thing Monday, will also save me a long ride, and in my suburban that is a LOT of gas...
