Btw, I got so caught up in responding to everyone, I forgot to mention...speaking of roos...
My last lav am to hatch is definitely a boy. He's still young so can't tell much on type for him, but so far he seems good there. Hasn't crowed yet, but given my neighbors, I don't want to wait until he does. He is showing signs of the la ender feather issues, so he would be good to breed with a black am to get splits (improve feather quality and pass on a very pretty lavender gene). I have a pretty girl that I am keeping (I feel that I should have something to show for this year's chicken disaster), if I weren't risking my whole flock I might put them together to see if the feather quality can go her way rather than his. Anyone interested in a lavender am flock starter boy?
