I got a new cockerel shipped to me from Ron. Will take some pics sometime today!!

Oh and my girls from Ron that I got at the end of April are starting to lay. YAY!! The eggs start out as large eggs right from the start. There as big as my Leghorn eggs. Very nice. No waiting 1-2 months to have the right size eggs. My Hermitage Dellies started laying too and there eggs are small.

That's really great. Right at about 6 months for POL. Wishing you the best.

I'm still waiting on my first Heritage RIR egg. It should be soon as mine were hatched about the same time as yours, I think.

My pullets from the birds I got from Matt haven't started laying yet but have been checking out the nest boxes. Hopefully soon.

My pullets from Matt aren't laying but the 3 of the Cockerels are crowing. lol

Quote: I have 3 cockerels I kept, 2 have started crowing and one is a little younger and hasn't started yet but should be anytime now. I had to put down the rooster I got from Matt. My vet said he had a stroke. Tried to help him but he just couldn't stand anymore unless I was holding him. As soon as I let him go he would fall over.The vet said that he could improve some but would probably not be able to get up on the roost. I tried to work with him but he didn't seem to be improving even though he was eating and drinking ok so I am glad I kept 3 of his boys.

I am looking for a good Heritage Rose Comb RIR LF cockerel to add to my flock. Does anyone that is going to the Central Florida Breeders Association Double Point Poultry Show know where I can get a nice male who may be going to the show?

Suppose to be around 32 here tonight, have one chicken house wrapped up and will wrap up the rooster house before the day is over.
