Frustratedearthmother's Journaling Journey

[frustratedearthmother]

The little bit of research I've done says 'yes' or at least they are supposed to!

Reckon the roosters feel less than manly because they are named "showgirls"?

FEM, I did a thread on them for BYC last year: https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/1073376/chicken-breed-focus-showgirl/0_30 They are seriously strange looking birds, that's for sure…

Glad your shoulder is better!

Cool - thanks for the link!

I'm glad it's better too!

Went home and checked on Conan at lunch. He's just fine - sucked his lunch bottle down like a starving kid. Not sure what was up with him this morning - just doesn't like cold milk I guess!

 

[baymule]

What a relief! Conan is back to normal. LOL

 

[frustratedearthmother]

Just for a size comparison...,Conan next to Felix, adult nigi buck.

 

[NH Homesteader]

Wow he's going to be HUGE! That is awesome. He's going to be bigger than your giant nubian!

I was thinking the same as NH Homesteader lol He is going to be HUGE!

 

[frustratedearthmother]

It will be 'interesting' to see how big he ends up....and maybe a little bit scary, lol.

He sucked his bottle down this morning with gusto! Probably about half way through with his bottle feeding. Hopefully he'll actually learn to eat feed soon. He is definitely showing more interest and takes a nibble of pellets here and there. He's pretty much a pro on hay now.

I got up early to milk Cocoa and I was greeted by the sound of rain showers on the roof - ARGH! It's probably about finished and I can get outside now. Just didn't need more rain...
