Absolutely stunning! They are chunks! How do they compare in size (GL/P)?

The hens are not huge but they sure are chunky. I think they are bout the size of the Gold Laced (adults - the gold laced pullets in these pics are still young - well they were hatched in June). But some of the ones I imported this summer (4 months old) are bigger than the Partridge already

. The Whites and Jubilees especially, they are just huge! Unless I get pics with them by the Partridge it is really difficult to tell. I will try to get some pics with them outside together.

The Partridge are the only ones I let out with the UK imports, because although they are really big they are still only babies and the Partridge are soooooo kind to them, even the roos

.

I did not import the Gold Laced and Partridge in these pictures, they came from Greenfire. (The Gold Laced pictured are actually our second generation, the parents can be seen on our website) I did import Gold Laced just not the ones pictured.

Absolutely beautiful! I so want some of those some day. I have a cart at your website filled with my wish list and have never hit order. Next April..possibly. I would have to mortgage my house!..

Couldn't resist taking a few today.....

This one looks like my Biscuit. His face anyway. The lacing on yours is much better. Anyhow, you can tell they're brothers.
