Gorgeous Nava, I especially like the girl pictured in the last photo. Do you have any more pictures of her? I love her color.

Nava, the girl in picture number 3 has got it going on! Perfect orp stance.

Very pretty Nava...good luck with showing!

Question: If you have dark blue hens and mate them with a black roo.....will the ones that come out blue (I forget but seems like 50%?) be a even darker blue or could I get some light blues? I have the chart somewhere in a folder but it doesn't refer to "shades" as to light or dark shades.

That is my favorite color also. However, the judges will write "too light" I've seen it happen a lot

I understand. Blue feathers are all to be "outlined" by a darker blue. I still cannot help but love the color though. I have one Standard Cochin almost that exact color...maybe even a tad lighter. I have her pared with a black roo and they make beautiful babies together.

Nava ... very nice

thanks guys!!!!

#3 you say? I'll keep an eye on her

the light blue hen, i got her from some one about 3 years ago, she is the oldest and I like her light color too, she is the mother of the blue pullet in pic #2 and if you look closer the mother is next to her, they still stay close to each other.
I'll take more pics of her.

Well what do you guys think of the cockerels on the post before that one, could they be shown? all I know is that that black one is HUGE

thanks Nava.
