Very nice!i can't remember the last time it was 62 here.The chickens were out foraging around the poultry yard all day as it was very nice with a temperature high of 62* today. Here are a couple pictures of the Padgett line Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock pullets enjoying the nice weather.
X2. It's been freezing here for awhile.
. Next month I do plan to start hatching eggs out of my Horstman line breeding pen so I hope they keep laying as well then as they are now. I also plan to add a couple Padgett line pullets into the Horstman line breeding pen later this year to experiment with a cross between the two lines. 
Hi aoxa Your Silver Penciled Plymouth Rock cockerel looks very nice and in my opinion if the brown leakage is not to severe I would definitely keep him as a backup for the breeding pen. I also have one question, with the very cold temperatures we have had this Winter have you had any problems with comb damage due to frost bite? Clayton Grace "Silver Rock"I posted these in the other breeders thread, but thought I'd post here as well.I do believe I will use this boy as my backup.
Gatsby with a layer pullet that did not make the breeding pen. Gatsby is going to be paired up with two of my best girls once they start laying well and I can free up a breeding pen. I will raise their chicks just for me.
Yes in some of them I have trouble, but it is only in the ones staying in the baby barn. There was a huge draft because I left the door open in December when we had some really cold days that were also very high in humidity.. but the ones in the big barn are just fine.
Aoxa, I cant tell too much from this picture, but compared to a lot of Rocks I see 2 things on him that impress me:I posted these in the other breeders thread, but thought I'd post here as well.
I do believe I will use this boy as my backup.
Yes that is why I chose this picture to share
His skull is nice and wide. Both the girls I am using have this feature as well.
