Couple photos of our pullet.
Awww - she's very pretty. Are the boys blue? This is the first year to get the splash. I've recently hatched my first splash offspring here that will reside here. This is several generations into my "project" of Olive Eggers which began with one lone blue Ameraucana who lived in my Marans pen. Every time I put her out she would fly/climb back in so I left her. Then I started hatching her eggs and the offspring were all blue copper looking birds with muffs and feathered legs that laid dark olive eggs. For the first few generations I just kept breeding the females that fit that description and laid olive eggs back to the same two pure Black Copper Maran roos. Only this past year did I give them their own pen and took the pure BCM roos out of the pen and replaced them with Olive Egger roos (roos that hatched from olive eggs). So this year is the first for having blue on blue in the pen and now I'm getting the first splash babies. Initially I was sbreeding for a blue copper looking bird with muffs and feathered legs that bred true (and I may go back to that) but for now it will be interesting to see how the splash turn out.
