Soon I should have 4 girls that are laying and I can't hatch every single egg.

Would you test some when they are laying steady? I would love to share them with you Kelly.

Ummmm, lemme think.......................OF COURSE!

They are not shrinking anymore....but they are not the same as they were before they started. Now they are just small. Odin is a trooper, he doesn't mind that I give him the once over every time I go in the coop. I just get this blank stare like "okay lady just get it over with." lol!

He doesn't show any signs of illness that I can see and seems very happy go lucky. I continue to watch him. Thanks for asking about him Kelly.

Could it be the weather getting colder? You know, guys and that "shrinkage " thing?

Yeah, I know about the strinkage thing...it is very possible!

Glad he is doing ok so far. If it happens again about the same time next year, then it should not be an issue.

Good luck with your girl...she should do well in s how because she is not in molt.

Hi. Here are a couple photos of my young cockrel. He is 17 weeks old. I have no intention of showing or breeding, but am curious to know how he looks. Please do not worry about hurting my feelings - I am truly curious. Thank you for your time.
