It's not overly large Here's the comb on my stag:

Ha!

Great photo.

What does that count as? Walnut?

I'll have to get some pointers from you sometime. I have a hard time getting the full designs without getting too much paint and messing it all up. I usually use a sponge like stippling tool. But was wondering if there were an easier faster way.

I use those short fat stubby bristle brushes for stencils. Dab in the paint, tap on a paper towel. Then jab onto the wall or whatever.
This shows the technique that worked best for me.

We have here an average size two week old freedom ranger. Next to it is a three week old Australorp. I’m really like how these rangers are growing!

Maybe I’ll be able to convince dad to keep a few hens to breed to Hulk, aka Ophelia’s son.

Me too. If not well I can work with the rangers I have, though these are so much more vigorous, hardy and way faster growing so these would be better to work with. I’m sure if they do well like they are doing mom will buy more, this was a test run after all. I haven’t lost any since I got them. There has only been the one that died in transit and that I find pretty great cause they spent three and a half days in the mail and I’ve had more losses from other places where the chicks only spent two days in the mail.

He’s spectacular! You can’t really see it in the pictures but he’s really broad, he has a really meaty breast.

For proper size reference that’s him behind an Australorp hen. He litteraly dwarfs everyone else in the coop including his dad who weighs more. He’s just bigger overall even though he hasn’t filled out all the way.

Next to his daddy and between two silver laced Wyandottes. (This was about 40 minutes ago)
