Thanks Peepsblessed! I LOVE that roo! He is 2 years old and no leakage at all! He has to have his crest trimmed so he can see the girls, but he has a lovely crest too (if I let it grow lol).
Cute whites everyone! I would love to add whites someday but am focusing on my blacks, lavenders, and...

X2!!! Mine are much easier to hatch and raise. I think the Turken ancestry made them hardier. They NEVER need help out of the egg and are always stronger it seems. Even my lavenders!

Yea or by posting pics on here and asking. Doesn't seem worth it.

They were just recognized by the APA last year. There are lavenders out there, but good ones are harder to come by. They are not SUPER rate anymore, but they are nowhere as prevalent as the common colors like blue, splash, white, etc. Here is a link to the lavender thread on here...lots...
