There's nothing more exciting than breeding blues. We accidently bred blues from two Rh, Wb, Greens. They had 3 blues in the one hutch. 1 has already died and whilst the other 2 don't look the picture of health they used to, they seem to be happily living on. However they are a constant stress that they are going to die. Be glad when this colder weather is up (I know it's only just began) and we don't have to wake up every morning wondering it there's any fatalities.

All the best with your blues. Hope they breed well for you. Oh and by the way, S76 is a wormer as well as mite control. It's safe for babies, either put in water or apply directly to back of neck.
