Of course it's different for different people...

There may be trends but who knows what will happen in your family? My one and only girl was the easiest pregnancy, (no morning sickness or illness for me ever). She was planted firmly on her bottom before birth so she was a scheduled c-section which for me was pretty much "get a shot, instant baby". Then when she came home she would sleep for 3 hours, wake up to eat, then go back to sleep for another 3 hours, waking up only once every night. At 5 weeks she slept through the night. She has always loved naps. She turned 19 this past week and after being a straight A student during her entire high school academic career she made the President's Honor Roll her first year of college. She has never been a party girl, but she is a lot of fun and has a great sense of humor. She just called me from Mt. Vernon where she has been invited to stay the weekend with her first boyfriend's parents, (who I'm hearing have a very ritzy house on a mountain surrounded by a moat?)
She's very organized in her work life and academic life, but I have to tell you - her room is a mess!

Her Dad and I take no credit for how she's turned out. If anything I would have to say our dysfunction was the reason she turned out as well as she did. I think when she was born she took a look at us and thought, "Well someone around here is going to have to take charge." I feel like I'll be well taken care of in my old age - after she writes that tell-all book about me that is.

Have a wonderful rest of your pregnancy. Enjoy that baby now and after he's born!

lol no! I have 5 extra cockerels already., is thor blue? someone on here was wanting a hoss son in blue.

No, Thor is black. I was hoping for blue, as I already have a nice black roo.

Ohhh, that sounds like the recipe to use then. Didn't RFF just say black over splash would make all blues? So did I understand that blue X Blue should be 50% blue, 25% black and 25% splash? All splash from this last hatch of RR sounds like an unlucky roll of the dice then?

Well I am sure they are adorable and will be fabulously beautiful adults. I want to see pics of the splash as babies and full grown. The English are all gorgeous no matter what color! Are you still collecting from One and Two for future hatches? Going to try again?

well I wasnt going to after I hatched these ...but seeings as I only ended up with one blue one I guess I will have to try again!

Hey, do you want Thor back? He'd go well with some Splash ladies!!!!

So speaking of orps. Does anyone know if I breed a non english to an english, what the chicks will be like? Will there be a certain # of english and a certain # of non. Or just a bunch of blase' chicks?
The hatch I did from Rising Star/Carol gave me 1 blue boy but he does not have true english form. But I have some gorgeous black girls and boys that are good form. Just wondered what I would end up with.
I would also buy splash pullets from ya!!! Need to mix up my lines anyway.
