Introducing our New Buff Orp Cockerel,Midas!

[greenfamilyfarms]

I can't believe how much Midas has matured and developed over the past few weeks. I must get a current picture of him! Also, he has started crowing and it is a deep, manly crow already.

Found a picture of him from 2 weeks ago at his first show. It's not a very good picture of him because of the lighting in the building. He has gotten more "golden" since then. He is suddenly blossoming, which was what I was hoping that he would do.

Wow, thank you so much for choosing the name Midas!
Now, I feel a special connection to him, he really is royalty.
I am honored.

He's gorgeous! I have 16 of Hinkjc's Buff Orp eggs in my incubator right now. Seeing what they might turn into is making me even more impatient for hatch day!

Yes, the Hinkle's birds are just beautiful! Here are a couple of pics I took today of Midas. It is amazing to see how much he has changed from a month ago.

He is getting HUGE and he is doing really well with the ladies. We are definitely getting fertile eggs - I have his first babies in the brooder now.

Look at how much he has changed since the original post.

I wish the wind was not blowing his tail in this picture.

He is simply breathtaking! Let's hope my BO hens never figure out what they might be missing....
