Do I see some crooked toes or is it my imagination ?

These are pics of a lav that I hatched from Jean...so is it a cockeral or a pullet?

I see a pullet, but we'd need much better photos and an age.

... wish my birds would start laying....

I was getting a lot of these last month, this month NADA!!!

They'd better start laying again soon or I'll have empty spaces in my incubator.

Anyone start making winter arrangments? I finally decided to put all my pens together today because it has been consistantly cold. I just wondered what others did when the colder months came.

Here, we let them free range as much as possible. They've been cooped up all summer long trying to stay cool.

Thank you for all the replies on temperament! It's very interesting to learn the quirks of each individual bird and what makes them tick....I must admit spending time with the featherbabies is incredibly therapeutic!

I already combined my adult LF into 2 big coops and winterized all of the coop's windows with 4 mil plastic. Figures- now it's back up to 70 during the day! Nobody is laying right now anyway. Forgot how easy it was doing morning chores when I had fewer coops going! They all free-range together during the day too, unless it's really crappy weather. (Except the lavs that I'm patiently(not!) waiting for eggs from)

Is that the same cockerel in picture 1&2 as in picture 4?

That's a different one - we ordered a dozen eggs (I don't remember how many eggs he sent) but we hatched 2 cockerels and 4 pullets.

I would use the second cockerel for breeding. The one in picture 1 & 2 has way too high a tail set.
