Here are a few pics of my chicks that I got from Julie. They are 3 1/2 months old.

First is a black, (I think Roo, do you agree)

same roo...different angle. He is so fluffy and BIG

Next is a Blue roo...he is HUGE...but is a little dark, and has a lighter eye....so I am thinking he should go. Am I right about not keeping light eyes?

Blue pullet...the girls are all pretty obvious, and have great lacing...a couple are a little dark, but I will definitely hang on to them

I wont bore you all with a ton of pictures, but I LOVE these guys and am thoroughly enjoying watching them grow up

Carol, Vavavavoom. I want the little girl. Pretty thing she is. I don't keep anything with light eyes. So I would rehome him.​

This is one of Julies photos i believe, but to date i think its the best ground colour i have ever seen on a blue orp. If the lacing was a bit stronger it would be perfect for me.

Hope these help
