Thanks! She is pretty cute and very sweet smile She's one good layer too... Hardly ever takes a day off and she's produced some really cute sexlink babies for my layer flock... I've got a gorgeous Blue Sexlink roo and one of her little girls has started laying and is looking like she'll be as good as her momma! I actually almost hate to stop hatching her eggs because she's produced such good layers but I only want to hatch purebreds from now on so I'm letting my layer flock as is. I'd get rid of the roo since I don't need him but he's just too pretty to look at smile I'm adding pictures for good measure and because I can't resist. I do like looking at her and comparing with the Good Shepherd BRs though, such a huge difference in size and color quality. Once again, can't wait to get some Good Shepherds!

Here's Rocky at her show...

And her baby boy... He was crossed with my HUGE Blue Copper Marans roo so he's not such a baby anymore:

Oh my what a beautiful combination of the breeds, he is really spectacular!
...and thanks for posting the photos- I was curious about your prize winning hen- she is pretty.

I don't really know how old they are, I bought them back in early June but didn't get them until Oct 27 because of the hot summer.  They are probably about the same age as your are.  Yes, I was tickled to death with that surprise. I really do love these rocks and give Jeremy so much credit for keeping them they way that he has.

Thank You Jesus, Just for being YOU !!!!!!!!!!

Zeke is 27 weeks old and I have yet to hear him crow. Maybe after I move him to the new coop when it is done.
