great images!!!

Thank you! So interested to see how Max feathers out. Would you call his color blue barred? He's such an interesting color to keep for breeding and he may have a blue egg gene. Unless I'm totally wrong and he turns out to be a pullet, lol!

@MyPetChicken Thank you for such a fantastic donation here and all the other HAL contests as well!

I'm new to chickens, so maybe he's not blue, lol! Here are a couple of pictures of him next to one of the two black chicks from the same mix.

And Daisy, who appears to be a splash Ameraucana mix, hogging the dust bath, because I can't even handle the cuteness

Sorry, should have said there are purebred Lavender Orpingtons in there too Max is the darker one with the lighter patches and light head spot. He has definite barring on his wings, but it's dark grey and light grey, no white.

you have to stop in and out!! you are part of our original group!!!!    @chickendreams24

Thank you Sally I certainly will

I hate to admit that I only set from the white pen and when I had my procedures husband was to be watering and feeding the newly hatched littles, I lost five of the tiny A chicks, I was furious.  all pure white and a few frizzled too.  so these are the larger ones that lived through that torture.  I was not happy to find them dead and everything empty, he said he forgot.  whatever, I dont even want to go there.... 

Oh my so sorry to hear about that! Gosh! Idk what I would've done I'd be livid!
