Gorgeous Julie! I'd steal the Cockerel too , given a chance ! Love the tails you've put on them. Hope I can do this with my Buffs.

Here is a blue pullet that is 4 months old that I hatched late Feb. She made the cut of the 7 from that hatch. A little darker than I like but I will breed her to splash. I can tell she i

s going to be a great big girl with good type

Here is one of the blue boys from the same hatch. The color of his feathers is really a nice color and

better than the pullet. They all carry really good lacing genes.

We're getting some chicks from Rising Star (hopefully this weekend to start a blue/black/maybe splash pen. We want to stay 100% English, so is there someone else with chicks/eggs?

They'd be shipped to Western WA, though, and I notice your ad noted restrictions on that front......

Beautiful birds! I love the pic with the goats -- gives a great size comparison for the birds!

Ahhh, yeah- I didn't think to look where you were. Eggs aren't a problem, if we get a break from the heat...

Let me know what your weather is like. It's usually always good for shipping here, though it sounds like we're getting a heat wave on Thursday -- in the 70's!

I am so jealous. I will drop you a line if we have a few cool days. I don't have a/c, so can't even save them when its like this.

Seen this photo on eBay... The judging card states "size". I am guessing it was entered as an Orpington Bantam since these are bantam coops. It does seem a bit large for the coop. It was not DQ as it won Reserve of Variety. Wonder what the Best of Variety looked like?
