She says "Thank you"
She's my best hunter. She gets alllll the mice.

She gives the ground squirrels a run for their money too.

If you happen to have a production red roo, especially one that grew as fast as her, I would breed them together. Sure you dont want them developing like a Cornish X, but a line of faster developing birds for their table manners would be quite nifty...

She looks normal for a PR hen, but not considering her brood mates are so much smaller and less developed. She may develop that infamous PR floppy comb like so many have.

They aren't great pictures, but here's my PR pullet @ 18 wks... She rivals the BA roos of same age
