    Hi all, I was wondering how this Blue 1/2 English Roo stacks up...I got him from a gal here locally who had to sell due to family health problems, I have a bunch of young up and coming babies from him and the hens he came with but she told me the hens were not as nice as him so I am not sure...

    Eggs have stopped coming....

    Quote: Can't wait to see your Pic's John! Do send some soon! Mine will probably still be awhile with 16 hopefully to hatch yet and dry off. I have read to leave them in the bator for 24-48 hours after they hatch to allow them all time to hatch and dry, but I have the brooder all set-up for...
