Yes Al, These are some of the colors that are in my pen. I have BBS which means there is a chance of Blues, Blacks or Splash chicks. I have Blue roosters and a Black over the hens.

Thanks Tuff,

They look great, I am getting fired up about getting them.

Buster,

when are you getting your eggs? I'm getting mine shipped Wednesday, I can't wait....my goal this weekend is to set up the bator and get the humidity right. Our house is so dry!!!! This will be my first incubation experience.

TOH: Can you give us a primer on chick color and adult color?
That silver/grey one is so neat looking!

There are Blue, Black and Splash Orpingtons in the mix when we say we have BBS Orps. After they hatch their coloring will change a doz. times or more especially the Light Blues and Splash as they grow out. Even when they molt their colors can sometimes become richer.

Coloring sometimes depends on what color rooster is just for matings. I have 2 Blues and 1 Black Orpington that are in with my BBS hens. Hope this helped.

Oh all this waiting will surely kill me! TOH- I'll be looking forward to your eggs all spring.

Hey Robin - your chicks are too cute - brothers and sisters to mine which are already free ranging.

Thanks Sandy - I got, I think, two blues, one splash and a black (not in picture).

Oh, now I really can't wait. Mine go into the hatcher tomorrow. Those are all beauties!!
