I have my 4 month olds free ranging with my older hens. Some of these ladies go after the boys if they look at them! It's really settled the boys down. Every once in awhile they have a Jurassic park moment, neck feathers puffed up doing a stare down.
Randy2010, that's great! Mine are just over 4 months old and they've changed so much. Their color continues to change as they get older. I have 1 male that started crowing at 7 weeks old! He's the oldest looking one too. Enjoy them. :D
Rinehart63 that looks like the pattern on my partridge bathuhner females. I too had mix ups from GFF. I bought a mix so it didn't really matter, but none of my shipments matched the packing slip!
Anybody around SE Michigan need some Swedes? I have one crested female and about 5 males I need to unload. I have some beautiful birds!! just too many. My pictures won't load today. PM me if you have any questions!
