Whew! I have caught, banded, weighed, and done some (very) basic evaluation on the Alohas this week. They're 9 weeks old. You can find my results in this spreadsheet here.
I culled out 11 cockerels based on weight and one pullet who has not been doing well. They are marked in the list with a...
Crappy cell picture of "Shoulders" one of the bigger Alohas who has solid white shoulders. I'm thinking cockerel, especially with all that white coming in on the breast. It looks like his legs aren't going to be yellow.
I'm pretty sure I have at least one Naked Neck Dun too. Lots of white on it too!:
There's for sure 2 regular Alohas with Dun but I imagine there's probably more. So many little chicks to try and look at!
I received 50+ Aloha chicks a couple of weeks ago from Sommer. They're doing great and they're all so colorful!
I moved some of them out of the brooder and into the grow out pen yesterday. They have 5 older chicks with them to show them the ropes.
And some individual NN Aloha pictures...
Hey Sommer! I know you're always on the lookout for very spotty Speckled Sussex so I thought I'd show off the 3 pullets I got from Meyer this year + 2 Swedish Flower Hens that were sent as a bonus.
