He's getting huge, which is what I want.

Wow! How much does he weigh now?

Wow! How much does he weigh now?

I haven't weighed him in awhile. I can do that today.

Here's his weight. He's alittle underweight.
He should be around 3½, 4lbs, but there's alot of competition.

He's so cute, looking down at the scale. How do you determine your target weight for his age?

He's such a curious boy.
I just go by what the average should be for young LF birds.

What do you mean by "large fowl"? Is that just "not bantam," or does it mean something else in your context?
