He was hatched in May. He's just a baby still. I really want to get him to a show at some point Julie. And, I need to work on getting him some ladies of similar bloodlines.

Well, my troop is almost five months old and are really starting to fill out. I NEVER thought the boys would catch up to their legs, but they are doing their best. My husband came back from an eight-day trip and said, "Man, they look like TURKEYS!" My big guys. Their feet are almost as big as my hand.

Here's Pierre: (Julie)

Here's Roo: (Joy)

This is Blue: (Joy)

Thor is investigating the possibility of part of the camera being edible: (Julie)

MoMo and Johnny Cash wouldn't cooperate with the camera today. They are too busy stalking the girls.

My girls are at various stages of development, from no combs and wattles to the beginning of RED!! The are Gah-rouchy! They are constantly grumbling...

Sisterly love:

No Wattles:

Hints of adulthood:

Group Shot: (You can get an idea of Roo and Blue's size based on my 10-year-old daughter's legs) Thor had to check the camera out again...

Julie, you said they continue to fill out until eighteen months?!?!? I can't imagine! My boys are going to be HUGE!! It's a good thing they are such sweeties. Gentle Giants...

Tricia - That stinks !!! Please do let us know what happens.

Sorry - Tricia - I had responded to your other post before I saw the one where you said they all made it. I'm so happy that everybody is out and doing well.

My lone little egg was due to hatch today, but nothing so far. I did candle about 30 minutes ago and he is moving around a lot, so I'm hopeful for tomorrow.
