Thats cool! Do you like the silver or the gold better? How do you tell the difference? What do you think mine are? Im hopeing for gold but I will be happy with whatever I have. How are the anconas doing? Any deaths? Besides the one on the mail?

These are my welsh harlequins I got from Metzers. They are 6 months old today. I got 4 eggs today for the first time but I don't know if they are from them or the swedes or the runners. I have 2 swedes and 2 runners the same age and 10 runners that are 5 1/2 months old. I'm looking forward to see how many I get in the morning.

I like the silver better. To me it looks like you you got all silver. The silvers have dark smudging and the golds are lighter. I am down to 12/15. I had the one that was DOA then one passed that night and the last one was runty and didnt seem to grow. It passed at 5 days old. The rest are all healthy and very social
