So was yesterday your first day of winter?

These are some of the random colours I'm getting from my double barred gene cuckoo rooster.

These were 3 I got from a batch of 27 chicks....

The rooster might have to go... looks like I'm on the hunt for a nice cuckoo rooster again

The silver one lacks the salmon breast. I'm really liking that look.

Ok..... so what to breed her with to see if I can get some more?

... back to her father?

I'll get a pic of the 8 tonight when they're dozing. Moony, when do your boys tend to give themselves away? Should I start watching now or am I gonna be left guessing for a few months?

I think today is the longest for us? I'm pretty sure I saw that somewhere.

Yes, just confirmed with a Google.

I always thought the longest day was later in the year. Guess I was wrong.
