Glad ya did.  Hi!
Go fishing again?

yup...interesting day. Meet up with some friends. My best friend actually. Went to the lake he lives on. Against my better judgement. I hooked several large fish. But they kept taking my line into the brush. Frustrating.....lost a ton of tackle.
But was still fun. But alas...I'm fish less today. One more trip tomorrow then I'm taking a few days off to work around the home.

my best friend Bob...drinking a few barley pops

I took some young hatchery buff orp Pullets from a friend that had too many and was surprised at how small they were. Full grown my heritage hens are twice to triple the size of the hatchery birds.

You know I grabbed my tape measure just to see how tall 2.5' is!!! That's not chicken size... that's turkey tall!!!

I have HQ BR's, but at the rate they're growing, I believe they'll be bigger than their parents... but these will probably the one and only HQ birds I'll ever own. If I get my HRIR in the spring, I'll put the roo(s) over the BR hens and hatch out some BSL's. I should be able to move those fairly quickly.

They are probably what they call frizzle smooth, thats one jar jar binks is the mother of the baby in my avy , they will carry the frizzle gene even though they are smooth their offsprings have a chance to be frizzled , just dont ever mix a frizzled frizzled their offsprings feathers would be so brittle they couldnt keep feathers ( so i have been told)

@Sally Sunshine I took the foot pad and straw splint off the chick. He? immediately it was obvious that it is not straightening he tucked right up and curled his toes. I tried just putting him back like that and a couple pecked him an a third grabbed the leg and towed him by it. I put the "shoe" back on and paper taped over the leg to protect it from the vicious Chickies. I don't know what else to do.
I hope you have had a good day.

He's by far the biggest chicken we have. He's definitely a monster. I'll try to get a pic of him next to something that will show his height. I ought to catch him and put him on the scales for a hard weight too.
