Dixie Chicks

I dont think I know anything about sulmtalers.. matty is a amercana/wyandotte cross... i have been fairly impressed with the body type and size of the wyandotte....... one of the things that impressed me with matty is he sized out really fast.. and he was feathered almost completely at 5 weeks.....as I said he is just as big as  Butler but  5 6 weeks younger.........right now his breast is filling out... he has nice legs  though lol

This is Duke and Duchess, my Wheaten (red) Sulmtaler pair, on the left is one of my CCL pullets, lol... Sulmtalers are supposed to have one of the tastiest of meats, but don't require the finishing food like Bresse... I have some chicks that just hatched too, Wheatens and Silver Duckwings... Can't wait for them to grow out so I can try one, lol... Duchess just started laying a month ago, they're a new breed for me, but so far I love them! Not too flighty and Duke has a good mellow personality...

@NotAFarm Love the pictures! Love the chicks and hens! Love your nest box.
I have a similar one. It had 15 originally but that was too many for me and the bottom 5 were in really rough shape, so I removed them. Picked it up at an auction for $25.

ok backish had to bring the chicks in and rangle violet she was trying to escape... she loves following me around lol she is so funny to watch when I come up she comes running with her galllooping wattle stride makes me laugh so hard.......... so I was fussing with the chicks and I left one in the brooder box all alone...wow talk about vocal unhappy scream lol...violet got all fussy and was sending her hen distress sound out they girls were all around the brooder box checking out the chicks with interest... on a side note... I noticed all the girls combs are pinkening up now maybe we might have some laying soon

also I had noticed when violet went broody for 18 days her comb paled a wee bit and today after three days not brooding it's darkening back to a dark red......... is this typical?
