Well that spains alot, i have 2 whites out of a spalding pair and they are the only ones that all of a sudden panic and take off across the fields when as far as i can tell there is nothing wrong, they are just flighty, still very cautious about eating out of my had and one pecks my fingers relentless- lee till i drop a treat.
These are the parents of my white spaldings

Here is a long legged 7 month old white on the far left.

Are we now ro feel sorry for Thang because of his breeding? Sorry but excuses aplenty for his wild character.He's always so "aloof" when I'm anywhere close to him.All that post-hatch bonding we did was for nothing.

No i was addressing his mental health issues, that can be inherited ya know

I know Thang has plenty of genetic mental issues some of which are yet to rise to the surface.

Got REAL and I do mean REAL lucky today and caught the Thang in the act.Naturally when he saw me it was quickly to the perch but I did get 2 pics off quick but they were thru a fence so pardon the obstruction but under the circumstances this is the best I can do.(Not to mention the subject of the pic)

Last one I got of Thang today.

Well,as luck would finally have it tonight I collected the first 2 eggs out of Thangs pen. They went into the incubator tonight along with about 40 other eggs. Wonder how the genetics will align this year? I'm not expecting much but I know Thangs fanbase needs enlightened on his well being.He is currently with 3 IB hens all with white flights. Last year proved some wild and crazy peachicks sired by this bird.

Fanbase happy to be enlightened!
