He's a beauty! Love his feather colors and pattern, big beautiful comb!

Thanks...he definitely inherited both from his Dad.

Another 1st egg today....
She's my single pullet from Black who is our suspect Midnight Majesty and 24 wks on Thursday the 16th.

Love the speckles and the color is decent for a new layer too!

Very interesting seeing the copper on the face like that!

Thanks..She's got some wonky chest and back leakage also. I'll use her as a filler hen when I start breeding but it would be neat to hatch a few of her eggs also if I need them for a broody.
She's an F2 so if I backcross her to a BCM I'm that much closer to hatching pure BCMs out of her if she's got qualities I can use.
@BlueTheBrahma advised me I could breed her and the BCMs to Poppy (BBS Silver, recessive white cockerel) also, but it's a little more complicated.

Ha....we were. Let's talk about black eggs now.

One of the pullets in Kings coop is laying a pinkish. So that's new also. Far right, back.
This pretty much shows all my colors, except Esther's green and the ducks white eggs.
I'd like some blue eggs, now.

Are you getting Cayuga ducks?

No, but if my Marans start laying them, the price goes up!!
