I must agree that Ike is quite the stud-muffin, LOL. And I can say that because I only selected him and raised him, but can take no credit for breeding him. Maybe some day....

Kathy, you're welcome.

Picture time ... I will just post a couple. Here are 11. Two are still fluffing.

ETA: By the way .... 3 have a tiny dot on the head.

I have a couple with dots and one with a long streak on its head. Looks like magic marker.

Handsome parents indeed!! Ever notice how the hens have that "Mona Lisa" look? (they can be looking at anyone in the room) and the Roosters have that "focused on one thing look"?
