I can't tell what's what other than the Brahma Because I'm unfamiliar with most of those breeds. They're looking good though.

Thanks Precious. I'm gonna tell the guys and dolls you said so. Oh, still waiting to hear crowing. Wonder how far off we are from those days? Oldest brood is 18 weeks, youngest is 10 days (but they are inside here with me).

@NatJ ,

This is the whiteish bird I was writing about . . . there was another, but I gotta run now.

The first awkward "Awww?" and "Er, er, er," noises should be coming soon.

Maybe make a list of all the breeds you have so far & where you got them from? If you want help identifying, that would make it much easier! Then you could post individual pics (if you can, & ever have a chance). I see you got your Naked Neck! How is the personality?

Growing extremely fast, IMHO. I think Horatio is a he. He runs around, holds his own at the food table. I have not noticed distinct personality traits in my birds. I am sure it is me. I have not even seen "pecking order" . Perhaps I need to sit out there more with them. I did a lot at first; then weather cooled a skosh and I haven't done a lot of sitting.

Actually, I will be glad when we get them to free ranging. I planned on using their coop away time to clean the coop, and adding a chair to hang out with them while inside the fenced area ranging.

PErsonally, once I get over about a dozen I can't keep track of them all. One certain individuals stand out.

Well we're looking at upwards of 50 at this point.

My highest has been 47, I think.
