    At 6 and a half weeks. He is still with his mama, Lacy. She left her first batch at 4 weeks and still protects and tries to feed this one at 6.5. I think it is because she is more experienced and she knows he is alone.

    And with his mama

    He is delightful and not afraid of me, which is great. I am hoping he is like his grandpa, Hawkeye, and daddy, Dutch. (From Speckled Hen)

    Nope, Mahonri, Rhett is the son of my BR rooster, Dutch, and one of the BR girls, Holly. I sent Ellie "emergency eggs" when Lacy went broody.

    Lacy is a Golden Laced Cochin. If you look real closely (and who normally would, lol) you can see her furry feet!

    This is one chick from 6 eggs!! Not only that, but this is my third try at getting a rooster since mine died. I got four wonderful girls from my first try at eggs from Cynthia... who woulda thunk it? Most get roos, nope, I get hens.

    This time, I got my roo. I am ecstatic and keep posting his handsome picture, lol.

    Why, thank you Omran. It was indeed at the end of a beautiful day. I love walking out there with the chickens in the late afternoon.

    What a wonderful picture of Rhett and his mama! He is so darn cute! Speckledhen sure makes good looking babies. Well, you know what I mean.
    That picture should be framed and hung on the wall.
