How cute! My Ashe used to do that when he was in the brooder, I'd come home and he'd be up top on the edge. And my month old, I had to move into the cage cause she kept hopping out of the brooder, I'd wake up and she'd be running around on the floor. lol

Definitely not the only one. I tried sending a message three different times, but it seemed not to go through. But this morning I come on and all three of them are posted.

Yes, he is Whitii's youngest boy. Hey, if Lulu is under weight you can always enter her into the small class.


Good morning Sue,
There is a small class for those birdies do not make the weight. Do you have the entery form yet? If not let me know i will send it to you.
 
Can anyone tell me what split wing is? Is it- when you have a row of feathers a few inches long on a roo and then the next row is around 2 or 3 inches longer than the first set? Also any pics. I cant find on and when reading on scna I cant tell if its a DQ and can it be bred out or should I loose the roo?

Its not a DQ Redroosterfarm......there is nothing on serama SOP says about DQ for a split wing. As of right now, its all up to you on culling him or not. I would use him if he suit my taste and send him packing if he doesn't.

Split wing is a DQ in anything...
There is a difference in split and weak. A weak wing gets points knocked down against the bird, but won't DQ them.. I do have pictures, but it is regarding cochins.. as this is a huge problem in them. I use a hen with a weak wing for breeding, because she has other things about her that I like.. nice eye color, good cushion, foot feathering etc. BUT her mate MUST have a nice strong wing to overcompensate for her wings.. does that make sense? but it's a gamble either way, as some of the chicks my have terrible wings anyhow.

what I feel is a weak wing.. incidentally, this is on the same pullet as above..just the other wing! lol.. she is a pet. So you can have one FAB wing and one awful wing on the same bird.

Just post your pics here! Last I heard, you had a chick that you claimed to be white, and I said that I was reluctant to believe it, knowing the parents. God has a sense of humor, though, and He gave me a white chick from out of nowhere, too! A month old, and I keep waiting for the color to start growing in, but she's nothing but white. I'll show you mine in a minute.
