Mornin' all!

Pink!

Glad you were talking about cameras yesterday, I'm thinking it's time for an upgrade! Took pics of the girls yesterday, and couldn't get them to load into the computer,

. So, finally got them uploaded this morning. Will put them in my next post.

Ok, here are the pics of the "canoe" gilrs! I snuck up on them to take the pics, so they weren't too happy with me, but finally came around. Loooong backs, but the tails are starting to come up. Let me know what you think.

Very good looking ladies. They seem to be filling out nicely. I love the deep copper on your roo!

 

[pinkchick]

Debbi~ How old are they again?

I think those are good photos. I like your girls, they look to have good size at this point. Wish they had a little more copper in the necks but it looks like it may still be coming in right? Which roo is that?

Morning flgarden!

Thanks ladies. They just turned 17 weeks last Thursday. Yes, their copper is lacking and is very dark. Seems to still be coming in, so I am hopeful there. They need more shank feathering too, only one has sparse feathers. HA! The roo in question is the infamous "Fuglee". Yes, I love his feather coloring, nice eyes, but the rest of him...ah, not so much! Poor boy won't be able to breed or do anything that involves getting off the ground. He was born with a deformity, and has a hump towards the end of his neck. He's a charector, but he won't be breeding anyone.
