TY TY. The Meds is maintenance, but something I've defered. Don't expect any surprises, no bad news. I'm healthier than I have any reasonable right to be.

Health = wealth to me. If I lose mine, I doubt I could buy it back, for any price.

True story!

New here. Have googled chicken questions many times and generally end up on BYC. That's how I arrived at this thread. Although, I can't remember the original reason for googling... Very interesting project! I'm sure something to do with genetics or breeding is what brought me here. Thinking of starting a project of my own. Reading through these 196 pages I have learned a lot and learned there's a lot to learn. Was hoping to get to this page and find a picture of the "end goal" camo Florida forager, but seeing the progress take place alongside life's trials is inspiring.

One hatch so far, early. Black with white wing tips. Looks like the SLWs I bought three years ago, except in the face, which is solid black.

Doesn't sound like the coloring you want. Does sound like a chicken dinner at some point.

Correct on both counts. I was running around 6am moving birds out of their current location, and into the one for the next older batch of birds to make room.

and then there were two. Looks like this one will either darken into red, or lighten into a pale yellow. I didn't notice any markings, but its not fluffed out yet. May be more evident once its dry, but they won't be pronounced, regardless.

Oh, and my wife tells me the black one has white horizontal stripes under both eyes - like a football player in reverse.

Usually those markings come with a white chin and front
