Oh oh so that means I may have mostly boys since almost all of them look like that last photo. I hope they end up looking a little more girly next time I post pics!

Wow. That is one huge bird!
Hi guys! I have a few questions about this breed, and I'm a noob so go easy lol. I'm not sure how they tolerate heat, I'm planning on buying property in northern Georgia within the next year and I was wondering how well they stand up to a hot/humid climate? Also, does their coloration make it harder to spot mite infestations? I know it's sort of an individual thing but how to do react around children? My boys are a bit rambunctious and I really don't want to stress them out too much! I understand they are a good dual purpose breed, and haven't been able to find much about average weights or egg production other than hatcheries catalogs. I feel that info might be just a bit biased! Thanks for any help or experiences!

We lost that big boy last fall. However, we have his grandson growing out. Junior, as the kids call him, will be bigger than Gent. Thanks for the compliment!
Thedragonlady has hers in South Carolina and has no issues. Have heard of some in Georgia with success. We are in hot/humid southeast Arkansas and ours does great!

North Georgia heat cannot compare to what we have here in mid S.C. in the sand. I know as I had a farm there for 21 years. My big buffs made it through last summer's awful heat here, just fine. They kept right on laying. They do need plenty of shade,cool water , and sometimes a fan though, when it gets to 100 degrees.Hi guys!
