Meet Wyatt and his splash and blue hens.......hoping for some red laced chicks. The color will come, they have the Wyandotte type that can be hard to get.....stout deep broad---sounds like my ewes!

Speaking of chicken math
I sold and gave away a few hens to get down to 2 Black sex link and 8 Ameraucana laying hens and my Flashy Ameraucana roo. Then a friend had 3 Splash Blue Laced Red Wyandotte pullets--so pretty-- and there were 2 Blue Orpington hens So I brought home all Five. A neighbor had a Blue Orpington/ BLR Wyandotte rooster.....dark blue with some red lacing on his breast.......So he went in with the 5 new hens. We discussed Michelle's "Morgan" hen. Then my neighbor was bragging of having a blue laced gold Ameraucana hen that would comment my rooster and perhaps produce a Morgan.....so "Marie" joined the layer flock. I mix and match my chickens to see what I can get....

those hens look rather nice and well balanced!
All your new chickens look lovely, but I have to say those blue hens are very striking (probably because I've never had anything like them)! I can see why people get caught up in varieties of iris, or dahlias, or chickens - SO many pretty colors! One of my new Easter Egger started chicks looks like she will turn out very similarly to Morgan; maybe a bit lighter in color. Got lucky on that one!
I have yet to get a blue Ameraucana pullet.--Lots of blue roos but never a pullet. Maybe next year..with my Blue roo Flash2 on my dark Ameraucana hens????
one can hope
