Weighed Floof, the F2.

He was 5.02lbs.

He's now, 5.20lbs. So, he's gained an extra 18oz.

Typo in one of those numbers?

0.18 pounds of gain is a little less than 3 ounces.

I'm terrible at math.

I should be able to replace him, once I get the Brahmas next spring. My order of Brahmas had a bad hatch at Meyer's Hatchery this year.

Yes, well Floof is the biggest so far. His sister, & half sister are only being kept back as layers, not breeders.

What do the Project Giant Silkies look like now?

I would have to get updated pictures. It's stormy out tight now, so it'll have to wait.

One of the hens is alittle rough due to being a favorite, & Floof is alittle rough from fighting with Demon the Sumatra.

Floof is Gamey, he's one that doesn't give up when in a tussle. Even if the tussle is over he wants to continue.
Their first fight was a territorial dispute that turned ugly, & lasted for hours. Started between 3-4pm, & ended around 8pm on Thursday August 11th. This was when I completed their run expansion.

He will go after Demon for no reason. Demon is terrified of him.

Storm is mostly over, I can get pictures now.
Just haven't been able to breed this year, due to so many chicks. So definitely continuing next spring.
