Blue-laced Buff Orpingdotte???

I've been incubating and hatching eggs!


Especially my BLRW eggs.


Just to see what I'd get, I incubated one of the Buff Orpington hen's eggs.  She's in with the Blue Laced Red Wyandottes. 

Well, there you have it...


A Blue Laced Buff Orpingdotte!


You've got to love it!

:-)

I know that I'm cheating my using a previous post for Farm Friend Friday, but I'm so excited about the name  that I made up for a Buff Orpington and Blue-laced-red Wyandotte  cross chick!  I'm like a little kid showing off.  I want everyone to see it!
