Thanks Jon, Joy and Bill. I truly love the whites. Still some work to go but they are coming along. I am excited about the white sports that Joyce sent me. Will keep everyone updated on how those turn out to. I tried to get some pictures today but I got a bunch of pictures with them turning their heads and running away. Guess I will have to try again later.

That reminds me I should plug mine in to. My LG's are working good but had to play with the thermostat. what kind of bator are you using? I have two older sportsmans (GQF) and they are good but sometimes I would like to have a smaller one for small batches. I use the LG or better known as Little Giants and the Hova bator as hatchers. I have a brinsea Octogon 40, and an ova easy 190. I also have sportsman I use. I hate hatching in the cabinets, just gets to messy. The small ones are easy to clean and most of the batches I hatch, I space out so I hatch no more than 100 at a time.

You know - on second thought, after reading a couple posts here on the board, I just might change my mind and decide to show a bird or two. Will talk with the hubby about it. I think you should have no second thought about showing those beauties. Christina

OK, last year my girls was not laying very good. I was talking to Christina and she ask me if my girls was fat. I went to pen and caught some of the girls and they was pretty heavy and and I thought will they are to fat. I also was feeding all they want to eat. I just kept the feeder full. I started feeding a cup per bird a day and in a week my egg production picked up alot. She said she would put out a 1/2 cup in morning and 1/2 cup in the evening. When I get up in the morning I had to get to school and didn't have time to feed in the morning, so I fed 1 cup per bird in the evening. I feed gamrbird breeder to my birds, the bantams do real good on it and I feed it to the standard guy's also so I don't have to get 2 kinds of feed. It's higher in protein and I thought the big birds wouldn't get to fat. I don't feed anything else to my birds, I used to feed alittle corn in the evening if was going to get real cold. I know Vern said he fed corn in the evening, but when you talk about cold, he lives where it's very cold. Don This is what I do. I feed something with higher protein such as a flock raiser/ gamebbird breeder usally around 20%. I do not keep my male with the females. The males need to be free feed most of the time or they will get to thin. You will occasionally get a cock bird that need to lose a little. There breeding is effected as well when they get to heavy. I am always out picking up my birds to make sure they are staying a healthy weight. The only time I free feed is in the winter and late fall when I know the weather will be getting colder and the birds need the fat reserves to keep warm.
