Lunch is served!

deek, they're just gorgeous! They're lacing looks to be developing wonderfully. Nice photos.

I would love to have info on the feeder too, if you're willing to share.

Also, do keep me in mind when you're ready to rehome one of you're cockerels...

I was told a Gold Laced boy could be beneficial to my Partridge project. I'll supply the box for shipping!

Very Nice Jeremy!! If you were closer I would let you borrow one of the boys! I think that would be just the ticket, but I live on the other states, a little farther than a one tank trip .

Very well marked hen. Good Luck!

I tried to take a few pics late this evening but it started raining again. I managed to get a few of the young bunch.

This cockerel has just turned six months. he is going to be a big boy. His comb is small but not perfect. I may keep him for breeding if he continues to look worth anything in the next two months.

Back side first.
