I was just in the coop watching The Rock at the feeder and was shocked at how wide that guy is! I've never seen a cockerel that wide in my life...I guestimated at least 9-10 in. across his bum when he is bent over eating. The width of the legs at least 3 in. between. Right next to him were the wide load WR hens from Kathy and I couldn't help but get excited over what kind of chicks will be churning out of those wide hipped birds...can't wait to get it started. Has me jumpin' out of my skin!

I only ended up with 4 chicks this time :/ but tonight 40 more eggs will go in the incubator.

You mean the ones I posted? If so, thanks. They seem to be quite robust.

Moved The Rock to his bachelor pen and kinda feel sorry for him in there all lonely. He's got his own dusting pan, a roost to himself, fresh water from a nipple bucket handy and a thick bed of leaves and hay on the floor but it don't mean a thing if ya don't have a woman...er..hen. He'll have plenty of lovin' stored up and waiting for when he gets to breed, so it will end well, at least.

True to the WR nature, he is totally calm when being handled...very docile towards humans.

I think so too! I have a feeling he and I are going to get along just fine. My mother was out working in the yard and saw him walk by in the sunshine and said, "He sparkles!".

I said, "I KNOW...isn't that neat?"
