I am really sorry to flood you with pictures again, but I am really loving these two...
Amy, I named her after you because... Well, it was easier than "Pullet from Amy's Eggs". Her sister is Amilia. Hahahaaa!
I am loving her type. She is by far the nicest pullet I have had at this age so far. I will let Byron or Junior cover her when she's old enough.
Again, I fail at names, so this is Junior - Byron's son. OMG, look at his shape! He has his dad's attitude, but with type like that, I can ignore it like I do his dad's temper. Um, the first picture is not the best of him, but he would not calm down and stand in a natural position long enough for me to get a good picture.
I will let him have the girls I have from Katelyn that have breast flowers and the sole partridge girl from Luckypicken's eggs.
I am very excited that I started my breeding pens today, too. They will be 2'x4' wall mount pens so I can house at least trios (maybe a quad if I get desperate) together in less space. They are supposed to be furnished with nipple waterers, roll-out nests and 4" PVC gravity feeders. Hopefully I can set up the water like I want w/ a rain barrel, in barrel heater and heated water lines so I don't have to defrost during the winter. I am trying to cut down from 14 feeders and waterers spread out all over an acre to 2 large coops and all the bantam Cochins in the breeder pens. I will keep the Cochin Condo I built for a grow-out pen/back-up.

I will put them in with each of he MF roos to get some different colors.
That's sweet
