Big boy indeed! Look at the drum sticks!!

At 7-8 months they dress out between 15-20 pounds the largest was 22.

Do they have to wear little knit caps up in the far north to keep those combs protected.

Actually I switched out the single combs on the first few generations for this comb just for that reason.

I got tired of losing combs and having maimed birds. These hold up real well in the cold.

 

[Miss Lydia]

That so cool how you can create a bird for the climate your in. I love the look of that comb.

Good morning folks

Good Morning Bob did y'all get those storms and heavy rain that came through last night. Boy that was some humdingers.

Top of the morning folks!
Buoy am I running behind today. I slept in till about 7:30 and got a solid 9 hours of sleep. That's easily 2 days worth for me. I feel like someone knocked me over the bogen with some sleep dust. I'm ready for a nap already.

The youngsters are doing good this morning. I always get a bit intimidated moving birds to new structures. Nor sure why, but I end up checking on them more than others.

Do you guys normally get so much rain, or is it just from this weird season we're having?
