My seramas are about the only ones I have laying. A few Phoenix eggs here and there. Zero bantam cochin eggs, and one pen of d’uccles hasn’t laid in a couple months, one pen lays often but 2 hens decided to sit. :rolleyes:

I like the lacing on her too. Will be interesting to see how she develops. Your little fella is a doll! :love

What do y’all think of this pullet - color/pattern-wise. She’s an odd color for me. Kinda dark blueish looking, especially next to my solid black hen.

I thought pullet at first, though in the one pic, the wattle showing gives me a bit of pause. But for 7 weeks, I’d have to stick with pullet. Pretty babies!

@nchls school I have a couple silkied roos in that pen, but also a couple smooth. There are a few smooth hens too. I do need to pull some roosters, so I'll see what I can do about getting them separated. I wish I had one more pen, but I might be able to find a way to separate them for a while.

Hawks! :barnie They are bad here too. I’m missing another duck. :hit I leave out a few excess bantam cochin roosters, but do they touch them??? Noooooo. Faraday, that one looks very young. Parents are probably nearby too. :tongue They are laying decent now, so just tell me when. The...

Im getting quite a few eggs these days. I could probably collect some for you. I have silkied and smooth.

I hadn’t gotten good pics of any of mine for quite a while, but took some rooster pics to weed out some excess males.

Very pretty @LilJoe ! I have a few similar, but not quite as pretty as yours. This one is darker and I have a couple like her. This young one is looking good so far.

Still looking female but I have had some late bloomers this year. Hopefully you should know for sure in the next week or two. Too cute. I have a silkied young one that I swore was female, long after the ones that hatched with it were showing definite male signs. A few weeks later, it’s comb...

I really don’t know enough about showing, but if it’s just a 4H type show (not a sanctioned show) I’d probably take a chance and show her, just for the experience. It will depend on if the judges notice the sprig or if they know the standard well. I know with any comb points that have been lost...

@LilJoe I just found this document saying side sprig is a DQ

Yours are white? I'm not sure how particular they are about combs, or how many deduction points it would be, but I always heard roosters with sprigs would likely be passed on to offspring. Not sure about hens with them. I would guess they will be more critical of sprigs in in-cage showings...

Awesome! Good luck! You might try your state thread (and any neighboring states if you are close to the border) https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/find-your-states-thread.270925/

Neat! You should also check out the cameras from Wyze. If you have WiFi and electric to your coop, these cameras are neat and cheap. $20 each, nothing else to buy! I have 5 of them around my yard. You can watch them live from anywhere and if you add a micro-SD card, it records everything too...

@Faraday40 This guy started out about the color of yours, I think. I love the color transformations.

I do! Only 2 or 3 are laying now, most of them are mothering. I have a couple smooth girls in the silkied pen, so offspring do have a possibility of being smooth too. Everyone’s chicks are looking so good!! I’m loving all the pics :love

That's fantastic! You should go buy a lotto ticket. :D

Unfortunately it died. :( I just hatched 11 chicks, kept them inside for a couple days, then gave them to my broody momma group. They are all surviving so far.

Heard chirping under a pile of broodies this morning and pulled this little cutie out. Don’t think I’ve ever seen one with this odd color pattern.
