Looks like the sun is out again today so I'm going to try and make time for pics of all the guys. Didja get a look at the blue boys eye (bottom pic)? You had a question about them a few weeks back. Shape, color I don't remember. I gotta admit my wife thought I was nuts for not liking that comb, too. I guess I need a stronger feminine side!

Its all a learning process! Thats what's so great about being able to post pics on here for others to review!

Hi Math!

Slick~

What was your question about the Blue's eyes?

I don't remember seeing anything wrong with them.


BTW: I also did not see a problem with that first cockerel's comb.

I have FBC and BW Marans that started to lay at the end of October. I thought that by now their egg size would have got ton bigger but they are still laying pullet size eggs. (My bantam Cochins lay bigger eggs). Is this normal? When will they start to lay bigger eggs or did I just get a bad stock?

Somethings wrong............all of a sudden I can't see any pictures, even our icon pictures are gone. All I get is a little box with an X in it....??????????

Hi!

Hmmmmm....I would have expected that you would be seeing larger than pullet sized eggs by now..but maybe they are just taking their time. Give them another month or so and see what happens.

Yes, I'm not sure what the name for that is, someone else will know, but the two different colors indicate something. How's that for a non-specific answer? Maybe I should go into politics!

Try going to your profile page and edit your settings. I was cruising around in there yesterday and remember seeing an option that turns off all avatars and such. See if it is checked and uncheck it if it is. (wow....it if it is....what a lovely grasp I have on the English language, LOL), save the changes and see if that restores them for you.
