A Low Blow for Little Joe

[theoldchick]

I pick him up and hug him in front of the girls! He hangs his head in shame!

The girls and Stan the Man bwooooooooooook softly in sympathy

He blushes and tries to hide his head

Stan the Man stands of my feet to check on his brother

I allow Little Joe to go free but the girls avoid him

Poor Little Joe. I've ruined his reputation.

How sweet! It's fun for me to see a JG rooster. Gosh he's big. I have one JG and though she was the meanest in the beginning she now will do anything to be held!

Can I ask a JG question since you obviously know the breed? How long until your girls were fully developed? Mine is 21 weeks but as you can see her face has a ways to go and she's big, but not super big yet. She did lay her first egg last night though, so that's nice.

Awww, Little Joe has such soulful eyes. Such is the life of the beta roo.

He's a handsome guy! How old is he?

Little Joe and his siblings came from Cackle Hatchery March 25, 2011. The pullets seem to develop slowly like the males, and each hen seems to be approaching POL at their own rate.

Oh gosh, they do have a big difference. Okay good! Thanks for the photos so I can see what I have to look forward to. You have a beautiful group!
