Showing off my LF Dark Cornish

[Redhead Rae]

Here are my parent birds. The rooster has filled out nicely since I got him.

One of my hens is on a nest of eggs. I had a saddle on her until she went broody. She was the rooster's favorite.

Here are some of their 9-11 week old progeny. I have them in with Bantam Cochin/Chocolate and mauve Orp crosses and a couple of guineas.

We are all interested Rae! Thank you for sharing. They look wonderful! I really need to move to someplace that allows roosters. On a beach. With rum.
Cheers!

Sounds like fun! I love my roosters. I've sent all the ones I don't like to freezer camp.

They are coming along very nicely!


They always look so stern! I like that about them.

The look great.
Do I see the baby guineas you just got?
They are that big already?

Those are my first guineas, they are pearls. My Lavs are only 3 weeks. They are still TINY.

If they got that big in 3 weeks, I would be doing them for meat instead of the Cornish.

Have you butchered any yet? I butchered my rooster today, the pin feathers were awful. I hate to skin a chicken, but I have no choice with this guy.
On a good note, they'e both filled out nicely the last couple weeks. I was otherwise quite pleased with the carcass.
