Stan, mine sure took their sweet time. The males don't even fill out all the way until they are close to a year old. Dru, the sister to Kathy's pair she posted, started laying just two weeks ago at 27 weeks, but she seems to still have weight to gain to grow into her frame. Her mother and aunts didn't lay as early as she has.
KIND OF LOOKS LIKE A CUCKOO MARAN I GOT ONE JUST LIKE THATDoes anybody know what breed my chook is? I'm thinking Plymouth Rock x Australorp? I know the woman I bought her from has both of those breeds.
And also not sure about the age, maybe around 16-18 weeks?
Nice, hope to get some Stukel lines .Updated pictures of my Stukel line pullet, Druscilla, who is 30 weeks old tomorrow. She has been laying for 3 weeks.
Oh my GOD that is a beautiful rooster.Just wanted to show the ENORMOUS GSBR roo. He is with a Blue Rock, that has to go (she has barring and white ear lobesthey were hatching eggs I traded for)... she is a laying pullet.
That pen is about 2 feet tall and 4 x 4. That is not a prospective thing, he is REALLY THAT BIG
Here they are in a smaller pen before I moved them today.
She is hiding under his tail LOL. He is nice and wide too.
Just for size comparison this is a FULL GROWN Blue Copper Marans Roo. Same size pen about the same distance from the camera.
CUTE GIRLSUpdated pictures of my Stukel line pullet, Druscilla, who is 30 weeks old tomorrow. She has been laying for 3 weeks.
They are just beautiful Kathy. They seem to have better legs than the GSBR.This is one pair of Stukel Rocks..... almost 8 months old (hatch Feb 1).
