Crossing the Road
Yes! It definitely did that! Hahaha. It also made me feel a lot better about my own chaotic household!The chaos gets your blood pumping doesn't it So many pretty darlings there! What color is that first bird pictured?
That is Willa (Willie + Zilla) - the modern game bantam/bobtail cochin mix we accidentally hatched! So my best guess is that she is mauve? She's not really dark enough to be chocolate, so I'm guessing that underneath the bobtail coloring on Willie, he carried chocolate? And the hens we have are lemon blues, so predominantly blue which can create mauve! She's definitely a more mocha like color, whereas chocolate is always a richer, deeper brown. It's amazing to me too, that sooo many people told me she was blue as a baby and that I was NUTS to think she was chocolate or mauve. I was feeling soo confused because I knew what my eyes were seeing and everyone kept saying that I was wrong. So it has made me feel less crazy now that she has feathered out more! Just more proof that we still don't know all the things we think we know about chicken genetics! Bobtails are sure a conundrum of a variety!
Next hardest thing is going to be deciding who all to keep and what chicks to sell!! I can make a justification for keeping all but like 20 of them hahaha. I don't know how people do it selling chicks all the time! I want to keep them all!
