I guess you may be doing some feather trims. Those orps have such big bloomers! LOLI have a bad set, we had 19 eggs and only 2 viable. But we have had such huge temp swings I am not surprised a bit. Exciting more Beilies!!
My roo is "Cogburn's" son & every bit as wonderful. I wanted to keep a lav male, but DD fell in love with this guy. (Just not enough to give him a decent name. He's called "Mr Dummy-Pants")
The Bieles are related to the beautiful boy pictured in my last post. He died in Oct & we were heartbroken. I sold all of the Biele pullets since I no longer had a male (& getting numbers down before winter is always a good thing.) I'm very excited to try again.
