Woo Hoo Congrats!! It's so exciting isn't it??
Mine are fine! I got 23 eggs yesterday. But I best start getting more since I should have 44 that are laying or about too!! But my Amberlinks, Golden Comets & RIR's were the first to lay! Still waiting on my Buff Orphington, Silver Laced...

Ha... I stole it from a friend cause he always names his roos food names so he says he can remember to not get attached and that will be their purpose cause he can't keep them in the city!!
Just to let you know she has layed everyday faithfully since the first egg!! I knew I was going...
You know I was just thinking about you and took some pics with my phone this morning. (Crappy pics though) Glad to hear you got your roo in check!!
Gumbo (So named because he was so rough mating his girls he was going to be some yummy gumbo if he didn't shape up!) And he has gotten SO much...

Yep, exactly what I mean and he wasn't just trying either!! Loved the pics of yours. My roo keeps getting more darker spots on him so I can't wait to see what he looks like when he's finished all his growing!! One of my females looks like she's getting some darker spots!! Isn't it...

Thanks, he's getting there! Believe it or not he covered his first pullet today! Their between 15 - 19 weeks old! And he's 15 weeks old. I didn't think they started that young. Geez he hasn't even crowed yet!!

They should be a cross of a White Leghorn roo on RIR white hens. They CANT be a from a light Sussex on RIRs. They would get the dominant white and the rapid feathering gene needed to create feather sexing chicks from the White leghorn breed...
Quote:
I would have to argue with that, the color in the Amber links is from Dominant white and the Light Sussex are not dominant white. Both Light Sussex and RIRs are based on the columbian pattern and crossing the two should give chicks with the columbian pattern, a L S roo on a RIR hen...
