Griffin Posted June 25, 2011 Share Posted June 25, 2011 I feel slightly proud too, my boy done good! I wonder how much like they're dad they'll look? He is certainly unique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is certainly unique I was hoping you'd say that, your instinct about him was right He is a lovely boy and we love him, he is a perfect gentlemen with his ladies - all 23 of them I have only hatched one of his as an experiment - I think it will be cuckoo and hopefully frizzle Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Griffin Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 I have to say that the baby looks exactly like him as a baby, grumpy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarlettohara Posted June 26, 2011 Author Share Posted June 26, 2011 I have to say that the baby looks exactly like him as a baby, grumpy AAhh, he's not grumpy now. I just had to cull one of the millies, she ran out of the run door as I was closing it and got crushed, I held her for a while but she was suffering. Never done it before - I am so cross with myself, I know it was an accident and they are silly and flighty but I feel awful and stupid. Had to come to work and keep welling up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
