so at what temp do you southerner's actually take off the winter parkas and long underwear ?? Which I haven't even pulled out yet.

I’m a bad one to ask because we go to Iowa so often. I’d say light jackets at 40-50, add a scarf at 30. It’s rarely colder than that during the day. Our “hard freeze” is mid-20s.

Size. One is much bigger than the other two. The two white ones are the same age, so the black/white could have a growth spurt and surprise me, but for now that’s what I think. Size was a good indicator on my last batch.

Well tomorrow I’m doing what I’m always doing. So I’m going to bed because I have to get up early to do chicken chores before I leave. Night y’all

Good night Alley!

Last batch. You can see that Cow (the black one) was bigger very early. Fluttershy (the gray one) was clearly female.

so in the bottom pic you have 3 of each ??
In that case I may have ended up with 10 males and 5 females of the older 15.

Yes. Don’t give up yet, because they were grown in the bottom pic. Yours are younger than mine or same age? You can see in my first three pics that mostly they all looked the same, then once they were fully feathered the boys really took off.

I am going to need a "bigger bus" to take most of them to freezer camp in.
