We've been so unusually hot, but I keep telling these little ones that they are from stock out of soupy South Georgia so there should be no complaining from them, LOL! The bigger ones, though, are really not loving it. Can't wait for a cool spell. At least the nights really cool down up here at 2000 ft.

Here's George, my hatchery D'Anver. I'm sure he's not the standard, but he's got a great personality and Little Man Syndrome. He doesn't know he's the size of a mite...he thinks he's the biggest rooster in the world! He's extremely curious and friendly, and he follows me everywhere.

Thanks Nottingham...I ordered 25 mixed bantams from McMurray and I kept him and a hen (Mrs. George). You know how I decided on those two? We got a really bad wind/rain storm that blew up and I ran out to make sure all the barn doors and windows were secure. They were barely feathered little ones, and of the 25 those two were following me around and crying. When I squatted down they cuddled up to my legs and let me pick them up. They were shaking, afraid of the storm I assumed, but while the other ones where finding places to ride out the storm, these two wanted me. So the rest found new homes and these two stayed. I'll have to get pics of his wife, she's quite lovely.

NOTTINGHAM,
You mentioned in a PM that you though you may have had a cockerel in your dun quail.
Yes you definately do, that oragne breasted one in all those pics you posted.
The pullets will have that nice even laced back, the cockerels are the ones that get color to their back like he's getting, also an over all darker color. So looks like you have a trio from them.
