The Evolution of Atlas: A Breeding (and Chat) Thread

Atlas is getting beefy. And it looks like his type is coming in nicely.

I like that word. It's perfect for Atlas. That's exactly what he is, beefy. Thanks, Kelly.

He'll need that beef to hold up the weight of the world

To think he was a standout from the time he hatched - what a beautiful(handsome) baby he was with the sweetest expression.

I agree, he is really beefing up well. Becoming such a handsome fellow

He was, though I thought he was a pullet at first. He has that special something that is hard to define that goes beyond the body type and coloring.

Thank you. I sure think so.

Atlas, his sisters and Maverick are doing fine with the old ladies, however, I really must think of what to do with them soon. Atlas and his sisters are almost 12 weeks old and Maverick at 16 weeks needs a home. Gosh, someone will get the sweetest rooster when they take him! He is friendly and easygoing and so handsome. Here they are eating a cool yogurt and tomato juice treat yesterday with (L to R) Snow, Nora and Gypsy, my only Ameraucanas now. Gypsy will turn 7 in November, with Snow and Nora right behind her.

He looked very abashed at his dining etiquette error!

They all better watch out for Amanda. Her "thunker" is in good working order, LOL. She may not be able to walk well, but she sure can lay on a smackdown!
