I must be mad... setting one final batch of eggs today

sabelpoots 

I had just one silver MF hatch  , several lavs and several mottled buffs (are the black tailed buffs the same as the columbian?). The blacks I hatched aren't that good but as mine are just pets they will be ok here although I do keep toying with the idea of showing so may have to decide on which colour to concentrate on.

Anyway back on topic - TNN's?

Marans?

so if nobody else is going to play this guessing game are you going to tell me what eggs they are? 

sound lovely - can't wait to see them  .
I have got 4 eggs under my mf Belgian but last time no Belgians hatched so fingers crossed these do - the parents came from Big Jen on here so would be nice if this hatch turned out ok 

ooh that sounds beautiful!  Can't wait to see the pics (hint hint)  .  Joy, I think you definately need to show.  I'll be showing at nationals this year.  It's so fun 

I've always wanted to show as I have some very beautiful rare breeds, but I don't know the Standards, protocols etc. Is there a book I can read?
