They are just about all feathered out, about another week, I think, and all their feathers should be in. They are super friendly and the minute I take the top off of the brooder they jump out. I am really happy with them and really enjoying them.

Does anyone think that my Bantams RIR's, coming at the end of January, would be okay to show at the end of April? That's 4 months, which, according to my friend (who is a certified judge). Is the age in which you can show birds, but she also said it depends on how fast and well they mature and feather out. Are RIR Bantams a fast maturing breed? I'm more than willing to wait to show them if that's still pretty young.

I don't know anything about your bantams but if you are getting them the end of January and they are day old chicks they would only be 3 months old the end of April. Jan to Feb = 1 month Feb to Mar = 2 months Mar to Apr = 3 months. Not being smart or meaning to bust your bubble but it all depends if they are day old or a month old when you get them.

LMAO. My bad. Never was good at math, lol. When I get them, they will be 3 or so days old, in the mail. I hope they all make it through shipping. So I guess I won't be showing them until August. Fine by me, plenty of time for them to look nicer and for me to condition them. I hope I end up with 2 nice trios.

Hey there,
Sure wasn't trying to be smart with my comment. lol I surely do wish you the best of luck with your little darlings. Nothing any cuter then these little fuzzy creatures. Oh well, I guess I should say all little newborns. Love watching the little newborn calves run and jump in the spring of the year. lol
