This is what I got when I hatched some Blue Andalusians. I scrapped the whole hatch. I don't want the hens passing red leakage onto their sons. I kept one hen and put her in my egg flock. Going to use Silver Laced Wyandottes. I have had some for years. I actually have some crosses already. I will cross brother and sister in the spring. I am trying to find a Silver Laced Cockerel/Cock to use this fall. I am not having much luck. I don't want to breed brother and sister. I want to cross with opposite crosses to keep the genes fresh. As soon as I can, I will get some pics of the crosses. I have a black cockerel that has white "speckles" right now, and 2 pullets. One is black the other is blue. No sign of "speckles' yet. I have this one hen that is old as dirt. She is a SLW x Blue Andalusian cross. She lays a pretty large pink egg. She is black with a lot of white in her feathers. I am thinking of putting her with my splash rooster, and seeing what happens??? I have some of the eggs in the incubator now actually now that I am thinking of it. This hen, her name is Tippy lays an egg everyday!!! I will see if I have any pics of her.

Here's a picture (I just took today) of one of my blue pullets. She was hatched March 15th so she is now 5 and a half months old. I'm happy to see she ended up with the color she has since she was pretty dark the first 4 months. Thank you, Paul, for teaching me not to be too quick to judge them before 5-6 months old.

To my novice eye it looks like you've got a pretty good pullet there, Sharon.

Sharon she is beautiful! I am taking notice that the hens with the darkest head seam to have the best edging/lacing. I have a pullet that looks a lot like yours color wise and, I am very thrilled with her.
