That is great Jimmy. I was looking back at some pics of some pullets Irene had last year from my birds and I saved the photos. They are really great looking . You should be happy with them.

Richard I love your pics. I shared that last photo on here sometime back. I Will have to look back and see what page. I was showing some kind of comparision thing.
