I was really liking this older cockerel, but dang he is rough on the girls. And then his younger brother started blossoming, and is much prettier, in my opinion! So i kicked the older one out of the splash pen. Hopefully move the younger one in, in a few days.

They gotta be nice to the girls.

One of my March hatch mutt roos.
I think he's a keeper, what do y'all think? He's really easygoing, but protective of his girls.

I love the "mallard green" just above his wing tips!

Me too, and the gold saddle(?).
He just turned out neat I think.

You've got California weather indoors!

Ikr! It's nice. But standing at the wood stove cooking is HOT!
Lasagna is baking!
Lost your quote Orr....

Wow, looks huge compared to my pullet egg. Second one!

I think he thinks he's pretty gorgeous. Look at that pose. View attachment 1232558

Rightfully so. He is pretty gorgeous.

Hey, quick worming question @casportpony @Ravynscroft - if I scramble some of the eggs I'm having to get rid of, and feed them back to the birds, would that prolong the egg withdrawal time? Pretty sure doing it right now (between first and second worming) is not the problem, but after?

I don't worry about wormer residue, I just eat them.

I was working on putting paneling up over the insulation in the workshop.
