12 hours
2 flypens
4 pens
30 aluminum sheets
Couple hundred feet of rebar #9, 11, 13
One 14×90ft roof later
Finally heading home.
Must say this is the most ambitious addition we have made to the iron dome, and by we I mean my pops, a good friend, and I. Working in >100° weather ain't no joke either!
 
@lmljsl,
Check this out on color front.

This little stag is the product of mating two birds like shown below. He has at least one copy of pattern allele and likely a double dose of recessive wheaton. In order for the pattern gene to play out where entire feather of male goes ginger-like, their must be one copy of recessive wheaton. With two copies the pattern approaches blonde as on the little stag.

Side by side they are really different. Might be a sex linkage with this as well but not enough pairings to test.


I need to find some pumpkin Hulseys to see if pattern same in chicks and adults.

Looks nice! There is a lot of red in there. I have never played with American pumpkins, but the black looks like it has been replaced with some sort of diluted red. I have a pumpkin Yakido stag and some blue pumpkin pullets. The stag is stunning in color.

Could you post pictures of the pumpkins? Color pattern at hatch also of interest.
