Ya not the best pic.. just one of the only profiles.. I need to get more... that is last spring... I keep my fellas under lights because of winter eggies... so in the spring they can look pretty ratty... This spring will be no exception I doubt... i did turn their lights off earlier that last year... Not hatching as much as I think I have narrowed down favorites ect... Only using one male this year and Only a handful of females... I am so excited about what I am planning for this spring.. I think I have th e male recipe down.. I am going to do a hatch for just males... Help out the community here.. Lots of poor tail sets around.. Hope to spread the wealth... and then I have a secret project.. that is sooooo secret I haven't even told myself... ha ha...

You will hear more about it in the fall... My boy is getting older so I better get those good breedings in this spring... I know what he makes when crossed with who so I am super excited about letting hens set eggies... (so tired of the bator)... BLECH.. Want some sunshine..There is to be snow on the Valley floor today.... Which means more mud for us all.... GOODY... NOT!!!!
