They don't have what you would normally attribute to a spur. They are more like 'bumps'. Let me find a pick and I'll post it.

Couldn't find any really great pics but if you enlarge these you can see the bumps!

@Texas Kiki I see yours hatched how old are they now do you know what colors you are gonna have yet?

I only hatched two and they looked Pansy. I won't know what they end up looking like because I had to murder them both.

Im glad your big meanie turned out be a boy now breed for size and then start trying to breed for temperment

He is actually a nice boy now that he is in with some big girls. He hasn't crowed once since I put him in with them.

Are you going to cover the roof and hardware cloth it?

Why did you have to murder them

Right now I have a tarp that came with it on the top and it’s got 1 inch chicken wire on it which they can’t get through but I’m thinking I’m going to put 2 foot hardware cloth around the bottom in case I get some prowling cats but they are loving it

Do you wait till 8 to 10 weeks to start butchering?
