Wow that RIW is so pretty. I love how you started from the candling to 4 months old. He's pretty.

I really am floored at how fast time has flown with these guys. I've been taking and saving pictures so I could make a time line. Glad you guys found the post interesting.

Yeah, I think he's pretty too.

Great job, its amazing to see the happy chick growing. I like the RIW, they are a nice, neat looking bird.
Thank you for taking the time and effort to complete this, very interesting!

You're most welcome. Hopefully this will help newer folks get an idea of what to expect with their chicks.

Yep, I see the mean eye!

It's funny too how their eyes start off blue, but end up yellow.
