Hey Y';all, update.
JBarret and his Dad just left with a load of SFH chicks and quail.
I had a dozen I said I would let him have BUTT decided to keep what I hope are 2 girls.
I have a rooster (he just started crowing couple days ago) That I hatched from BHEP's eggs. I ended up with him and a nice looking pullet.
When the 2 little girls get big enough I am putting them in with the young rooster. I have 3 grown girls I bought from Jordan Farms. They laying pretty good. 2 or 3 eggs everyday.
Since the ones I let Justin have were going to be used with Beth's rooster and I was going to let Justin have them all, I set 28 SFH eggs yesterday. All I had room for in the incubator with out changing out the two quail trays. Since I kept the 2 girl chicks I offered to let Justin come back when they hatch and pick out 8 pr 9 of them at no charge.
Now in that bunch of chicks he got there are maybe 3 that until just the last week or so that were all white. BUTT, some blue(gray) and some red/orange has started to show on the back of their head and necks. He promised to put some pictures of them here.
He was already snapping pictures before they left.
The world would be a lot better off with more young men raised like him. His Dad says he is 6 of 7. That is what we call in these here woods a snag of chillins.
My big rooster came from over by Tallahassee so I imagine he came from Greenfire.
It is pretty nasty here today BUTT when it clears up I'll get a picture of the 2 girls I kept

Thank you so much for getting jbarrett some chicks! I'm sure he's thrilled.

My crested SFH have goopy crests because of the FF. I need to find a way to clean them because one of them is having a hard time seeing.
