Looks like a grey. I hatched out a sizzle and a regular just like that one and it turned out to be greys. Very pretty. Unfortanetly I lost the sizzle but the others are growing up and are very pretty.

Yep, I recall having greys too with the stripes. Also i've gotten chicks that where an off white, silver almost with very light buff colored stripes. Those turned out almost like buffs but with dark wing tips and tails. They came from my partridge ladies that have alot of gold on them. When their momma lays eggs they usually turn out more of the blue partridge colors or like her daughters that have more gold. Apparently the roo has alot of gold in his genes. He's getting replaced next year with a very nice blue partridge that I hatched from sebrightmoms eggs.
I've also gotten several partridge sizzles although there is no partridge colored hen or roo in the pen. This one is from Fancy Pants the blue partridge hen.

I know right?!? Today was a wonderful temp day and I was on the road. Ugh!! I could have been cleaning chickens houses, raking acorns, or blowing the leaves of the roof of the house. The neighbors love when they see me up on the roof of the house with the blower. But we live in the (semi) country. Heck I can feed the chickens in my PJs and often do

I am retired after 25 years Active Army and I'm loving the Pj's, the Price is Right.

Got eggs from Garry Farms and Hot2Pot today in PERFECT!!!!!!! Condition!!!!

But seriously, no more babies after March 1st. Or I have to attend Chicken Hatching Anonymous. Will be back home tomorrow night.
 
I have decided to sell off all of my LF Chickens and just stick with Bantams. So I will be selling my Sexlink Pair I have left and my Silkie/Turken Roo and the 10 Easter Egger & Ameraucana Hens.

If anyone is interested please let me know.
 
I got eggs from Beth today, the stupid mailman left them in the mailbox, on the lid tied with a rubber band!!!??? Luckily we were here and brought them right in. I have your book wrapped, Beth, will mail tomorrow when I take the cat to the vet. Thanks for the eggs:love Deb
 
Too bad we aren't going to see my father & Mother-in-law & sister in law. My father in law lives in Maynardville, Tn in Big Ridge State Park area.
My Sister in law lives by Knoxville, Tn. Not sure how far that is from you.
