Stunning, that boy, simply stunning. I'll get in line for eggs this spring. I'm sure my girls will be lining up for the broody pens!!

Do you have to pinch yourself when you see them in your back yard?? Wowza!!

Your barred rock rooster is gorgeous.

Ofcourse all of your chooks look beautiful.

Yeah, I sort of do! He's turning out to be a really good rooster, too. We've had some hawk scares over the past week and I can hear his yell from inside the house, echoed by the little D'Anvers in their covered pen across from him. When I go out, everyone is under cover except Rex, standing out like a guardian watching the skies.

What, no pictures of the egg?

 

[speckledhen]

Nah, didn't bother. I did put her name on it so as not to mix it up with Tiny's, to see if Suede managed to mate her, though. It's a really good size egg for a new layer, but dang, she waited long enough!

Those are EXCELLENT barring on those Barred rocks!

 

[speckledhen]

Thanks, though I cannot take credit for anything except hatching and raising these beauties. They are certainly eye candy around here!

Here are your Suede kids last night in the new temporary digs...they spent the night in the new 6 x 8 coop with the OEs and Orloff babies. They of course got rough love from Cheyenne. hahahahaha That big boy loves it and is a mess, Atlas tries to get away and Zena could care less too

The youngsters will be 35 weeks old Wednesday. Rex is filling out very nicely and his saddle feathers are starting to grow back since I rehomed my silly Olive Egger, Shelby, to joletabey (she just loved that barred pattern of his, couldn't keep her beak off of it

). All the girls are laying regularly.
