I'm really excited about this one Amy! I'm really hoping it inherited it's father's Blue genes too.

I couldn't help myself, I snapped a few pictures with my phone through the bator, here's my newest wee one.

That combs looking pretty flat to me... here's to hoping it's a pea comb.

Oh soooo cute! I wish I was better at taking baby pics.

I had though about selling off my BW OE roo and one of the pullets, btuthe's turning out so pretty I have to keep them now. Gotta see a full grown boy- anybody have pics?

They're all split- so maybe if we can hatch some we'll get about 1 in 4 that are lav cuckoo. I am just wondering if you'll be able to see the barring seen as how lav is so pale. Also- the cuckoo marans I used doesn't lay a super dark egg, so we might just get EEs

The cool part is that the chicks were sex linked so I knew what I had early on.

That lav Cuckoo sounds interesting. You'll have to post some pictures of those soon

I now have 2 poofy faced fatty W/BW Olive Egger babies drying off in the brooder.

I have got a few OE's that are Wheaten Am and Wellie Mix. I am REALLY hoping for some speckled green eggs this year, to go with the other OE's. That's the goal anyway. I've noticed a few "gray" OE eggs, and thought they were so odd (my camera can not capture an accurate depiction)...anybody else getting gray eggs from their OE's?

Blue Wheaten/Wheaten Olive Egger babies!

Look at those cheeks!

Oh, wow, those are adorable, Jeremy! That second pic should be your computer wallpaper!

Shelby is over 19 weeks now. She squatted when I grabbed her the other day so hopefully, her eggs will be coming soon.
