Thanks guys! I'm happy to have him.Is he missing his feathers on his wing? I was told they will not ever grow in right.... I didn't believe it but my roo started to molt and now it is scabbed over and not looking like it will ever grow in. I think getting that color in the wings is going to be a HARD battle. LOVE his hackles!
He has a BUNCH of feathers coming in, so I don't think he is anywhere near finished. I will be taking more pictures as he continues to mature and questions will be answered! Right now, he is Buddy's pick to sire his next generation.
The other 10 pictures I took of him were a blurrrrrr. This picture was one of the last ones when he was wearing down. He is not in his final pen and certainly does not like being out in this grow out pen with others free ranging. Finally today, the girls laid an egg in the nest box instead of just dropping them off the roost. They are having a difficult adjustment.
