Weeiknds are slow sometimes. I often wonder if these threads will make it to August for their third year birthday . Think about it not many threads live very long.

Getting lots of personnel messages and request for articles on Reds so the interest is there.

So many good strains out there and now sub strains that you all have.

Keep up the good work and share with others and next year they will double in numbers with interest.

I think I'll take some Nelson chicks out for their first time on grass/soil today. They're old enough, but these are proving to be extremely slow feathering bird. Still, the day is hot and some time pecking in the shade won't do any harm. I'll pull up a lawnchair and sit a spell. It's too hot to do much else.

Fred,
While you're at it, how about taking some photos of those chicks??

then again, that may be a 'buzz kill'...

Heard or read somewhere that the slower the feathering, the higher the quality of those feathers they'll be.
Enjoy!

I could see where that could be a factor and makes sense too, the faster feathered layers like RSL and proreds do suffer sever feather breakage problems but there's nothing that I have here slower feathering than the GSBRs and those girls feathers are the first to look horrible from being rooster ridden than the other slower to feather breeds such as the Reds and NHs

go figure huh? The BR feathers also are softer to the touch than the others too.

Well, that is certainly true of our JWhip Rocks. LOL First time with Nelson birds, so I've no idea.
