I love this goofy looking stage. What do you think of the coloration so far?

Front left is a "no". Front right is a "yes". Those in back are mostly "maybe", with back right leaning no. But I have to look at the older batch of birds, send a few of those to freezer camp merge the rest into the adult flock. Take a long look at the adult flock, remove less productive layers. I may once again end up keeping some that don't thrill simply to maintain egg production.

Then I can decide how many of these get more time, and how many get separated for a trip to camp as soon as they put a couple pounds on.

...and decide if I'm going to try and hatch more in the next month or two. That window closes late October +/- depending on whether or no we get an early cold snap or a mild winter.
