Miss Bonnie on left is half  the size of the others

lareynadenada: I have a "Miss Bonnie" named Shetland, she's the same age as the other 3 but half the size. I'm new to Dottes is that common or wh

y would one come out so much smaller then their "littermates"?

Thanks, I will go take a look at them.  Here is a photo of the best of Ebay hatched eggs.  He is almost 3 mos. Maybe he will darken a little as he gets older. Also a photo of the roo from Foleys.  Love him!!  He really is BLACK, my bad for taking a photo in the sun...

Just wanted to share a picture of my Buff x Buff Laced pullet, Lacey. I was going to re-home her but decided i will probably keep her for eggs. She's 19wks old but seems small to me for her age, especially compared to her sister that's as big as their daddy already.

SOOOOOO EXCITED!!!!!  The 3 SLW from my Foley birds are developing         I have 5 more to put in tomorrow, maybe six

Maybe when the BLRW start laying I will be in a better frame of mind and will not be so excited...... NAH!  
 

Even though his color is light and he is a little leggy, he has nice body type (should be starting to fill out now) and a great, close to the head comb. I am real fussy about combs! The pullet in my Avatar (just changed the picture) is 5 months old.

Yes, the combs are huge for me too!!  Very nice pullet you have! Can I steal some of that red?   haha We will see if he grows into those legs.  One nevers know what will happen, kind of fun that way :)

Thank-you   Even the pullet in my Avatar could have better red. She is too gold. I have 2 chicks that are one week old that look promising. I hatched one blue (looks like it will have the great color like my darker red pullet and I am hoping for a rooster since I only have 3 pullets) and one splash. The red on the splashes wings is coming in very red! I am excited to see how this one turns out since my 5 month old splash pullet's red is too light. These two chicks are out of a trio a friend and I bought from Jen C. It IS fun to watch them change and boy do they! I hatched a LF BLRW rooster who didn't look promising at all and I didn't plan on keeping him, but I keep my birds way too long and by the time I thought about selling him he had changed from mediocre to gorgeous! He is now my main man   

I need to take some updated pictures now that their wing feathers are coming in. These pictures were taken a few days ago.
