My little flock, one rooster and 4 pullets. Came from a local breeder who started with hatchery stock. Hatched about June 1, no eggs yet. Not show quality, but nice to look at and funny personalities. Unexpected how this still saddens me, but I had another rooster, with more black, who was...

MIne are 26 weeks, so I guess I have a wait. I hope they make up for the extra feed on the front end by laying well into later life.
