Beautiful birds!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Now that big ol Babe of an ox! How much Suede weigh now?

 

[speckledhen]

I believe he's about 14 lbs now, but he recently went through his molt, so could have lost a pound or so. Looks like he's about back to normal now but haven't weighed him lately.

Awwwwwww poor guy! I would love to snuggle up on his breast feathers and feel the softeness!

Surely he would not mind it !

Speckledhen, your birds are simply AMAZING! I never get tired of looking at them. You must be extremely proud of them all

Brad, you're too kind. Yes, I am proud of my crew. They give me alot of pleasure.

Reba with Ginger and June in background. Reba is one of my originals.

Nugget, from Jody's crew:

Olivia, 3 years old

Caroline, 3 yrs old.

Nelda, Speckled Sussex

Finally, a good picture of June, who is very camera shy

Nice flock Speckled.

And I am amazed how my offspring from Suede's line look so much like their Great? Grandaddy.

Velvet is blue and Queeny is just like Suede, blue on the bottom and black on top.

And can I say this? They are MASSIVE!!!! and so kind and gentle... we adore them!

Love your pics... thanks so much for sharing... beautiful, just beautiful.


Merry Christmas,
