    O.K., I'm going to put on my Big Girl pants, suck it up and ask: My roo....he's of unknown breeding. I do know that his father is still strutting his stuff at about age 5 or 6, looks just like mine, only a little bit taller. The father was a "feed store chick". My boy is not quite a year old...

    Al - not that I am ever going to get to a point where I would need them, I am just curious...(I can see uses for them) but, what are the barrels made of?

    I have learned so much, but for every question answered three it brings up 3 more!!! Got to let all of this good stuff settle in the ol feeble brain. Feel like a three year old.."Why?" "Why/" "Why?". Guess that's a good thing though.

    O.K. here goes. I like #1. If her pale face indicates that she is slower maturing, then she looks like she's in it for the long haul. She seems fuller feathered and has nice legs, as if that is where her development has gone. Her back seems flat and I think wide. #2 is built quite differently...

    Yup, I didn't think so either. Is there anything else besides creepy crawlies and molting that might do this just to 2 out of 10?
