Their coop is insulted roof and all.. the floor is layered deep in shavings.. and I have so many big fat fluffy butts in there... It is noticeable warmer when you open the door. I leave a window cracked open for extra ventilation... there is ICE on the outside wall around that window from the amount of heat and humidity escaping . I don't need a heat lamp in there nope.. they are doing real good.

She is LF. Pure English. She hasnt quit got as big as I hoped she would. Therefore not sure if I will use her in my breeding pens yet. But she is so sweet and fun to look at.

Got a few pic today of my young splash boy, I think he is going to be a monster, Only about 9-10 months old, What do yall think about him ? Where you at Julie ?

You need some Kudos on this guy. Nice job Roger. He looks great. He's a winner for sure.

Birth (Hatch) announcement! It's been 7 months- 1 1/2 weeks (if I'm counting correctly May 21- Jan 4th) from day old to day old. Hatched between 3 a.m. and 4:45 a.m. Meet Cissy. Her/his brothers and sisters won't hatch until next week. Instead of a feather duster, I put it in my...bosom. He's toasty warm and quiet. Enjoying skin to skin contact and I bet getting to know the rhythm of my heart beat. Every now and then, pokes her/his head out for a peak. When he's frightened he scoots back in. Don't worry. He won't be raised in my bosom, just until his siblings arrive. My husband thinks she/he will be just fine in there
