I'm impatient. I want them grown up now! I can't wait to try showing and hatching and trading their eggs. At least with the cows I know their sex right away and could show at 4 months. But, I guess they don't eat as much, defecate as much, and only take 21 days for offspring.

Patience, grasshopper, all things come to those who wait. The older you get, the faster it goes.;-)

I got my lavender ameraucanas from Sally today, all in the Bator to set by the moon

Will these work for the swap? They are breeder quality.

Offspring from this flock has done very well at 4-H / FFA shows. They are still too small for open shows, but I have plans in the works to fix that.I need to get a scale to weigh them.

I asked for a SOP for Christmas and nobody got one for me. What is the weight for LF Cochins? Thanks

I can't answer about their quality, but SOP says
Standard Weights:
Cocks 11lbs
Hens 8 1/2
cockrels 9 lbs
pullet 7 lbs.

So now you are going to have to go weight them !! LOL !!

You might ask on a cochin thread !!

Thanks. I'm on my way to town to get a scale.

So I weighed 4 of them. The cock is 9.5 lbs. The one cockerel is 7.5 pounds at 7 months old. One hen is 9.5 lbs and another is a little over 8 lbs.
