31 weeks old....3 cockerels, 9 pullets.
This is #1 cockerel who is over what I think are the three nicest pullets for the first round of hatching.

#3 I think will help with the bit too high tails on some of these. (He looks so SERIOUS doesn't he?)

Ya know we have been talking about the color of these. It's said that the German line are darker
than preferred here. The SOP illustration shows an orangy bird, but the color description reads
"medium chestnut red" for both body and hackle. I have some of both...which do you think is more
correct, the deeper color on the left and the pullets above, or the lighter on the right?

My New Hampshires that I got from Kathy
The hen does not always have her wing like that. I think she was stretching when I took the pic.
