Like a major blood vessel down on his leg?????? I have seen that from time to time but not sure what it is yet. It is definately NOT hair but like if it is a blood vessel of some sort. Maybe someone else can clarify that.

I see that in white legged breeds like Orps having the red streak on the side of the legs. Maybe the white leg factor popping up?

I've seen it in boys that are getting close breeding age, usually down the outside of the leg. It's faint, but I have noticed it.

FINALLY !!!

'Summer' finally laid her first egg. She is just over 7 months old. Very nice color covered in specks. She has been nest stalking for several days. Today she was in a different nest in 4 different houses. After about 6 hours of cackling and changing nests, she finally laid in the bantam pet cochin house.

She is the only pullet that age the other 4 are just 5 months old, so I guess I have 2 more months to wait. That is ok, I don't plan to hatch any standard sized birds till mid-summer. Till then Tonk(cockerel) is living with the laying flock.
