mine are actually spoiled from last years season long heat light...
Update on "Streaky" my 'stunted/dwarf' BJG. Well she got feathered enough togo outside with her sister "BooBoo" the other week. The re-pecking order wasn't bad. She's growing but still smaller than "BooBoo". And guess what... "Streaky" turns out to be a darn rooster!!
