Nana, it may be a courting dance, but then he wants to flog next.

He even tried to get me through the fence today. I just laugh at him, he's just too cute.


With boys ya just never know.  I had 10 lbs of Son of Suede biting my shins and ankles today and when I would reach for him he would jump away then ease up next to me almost touching me and bite again...this went on for about 10 mins until I squatted down to his level....then he walked over and pushed his chest against my knee, scooted as close as he could get and just looked at me waiting...So I said "Good Morning Hector" and he was in heaven...he just wanted me to talk to him.  Guess he and my hubby have one thing in common...they both like my deep sultry/raspy voice....Lancelot does too...all nearly 14 lbs of him sits in my lap for petting, swinging on the porch swing and good conversation.   So who knows...boys are weird gal.  *snicker*

Life shouldn't be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty, well-preserved body. but rather, to skid in sideways, totally worn out and exhausted while shouting loudly "WOW! What a ride!"

could well be, I keep forgeting they are just babies. They look older than that.  You're right shouldnt be possible.  I have never actually recorded or made note of what age they start getting spots. Check on that if you would. I know from last year  with your chick pics then, you should have then about down to the week.  Curious to see myself now.

Here is Penny at 7 weeks old. She looks about like the tiniest one I think is a pullet in this group. Is there some subtle difference I'm missing?

Aubrey- Glad you sent the black. Got a project in mind I will be talking to you about.

Found it! Here is a picture, Carly I believe, at around 8 1/2 weeks old, so I'd guess that's when they start getting the white tips.

 

 

They'll be a year old tomorrow, April 6!

I am not sure how good mine are going to turn out but, they are really mottled when they first feather out. Then they loose all they're mottle and look like buff columbian and slowly get they're mottling back. But these are the first one I have raised.
