Very nice stags and keeping the straw in the pens is great for them plus shade. One of the 1st or 2nd things I look at in pics is the dirt floor of pen ...... Hard packed ground is not good for chickens
Those eggs look normal for gamefowl, mine lay about the same size as yours.
I can never get gloves large enough (in eighth-grade basketball, I was only one that could pick a basketball up with one hand// flat hand on top of the ball)
I only single mate .... got some more to work with(if I can make it) takes all I can do, to just type this message.
good luck with yours (although I don't believe in luck......one either earns his win or there was a loss)
I've got several hens down w/chicks...... it amazes me how i've lost none on free range in the woods/branch head and pasture.
How are your's coming along?
