Aw, they're cute as all get out! Looks like Stubby's got his work cut out for him! Be sure to feed them up to fatness on good nutritious greens with lots of calcium such as collard greens, turnip greens, mustard greens, and calcium/vitamin d-3 powder twice a week sprinkled and mixed into their food so that they will have healthy eggs, and also be sure that they have a GOOD uvb bulb on their cages so that they will be able to assimilate all that good stuff!
Having the right set-up for egglaying is a MUST. Each female will need her own "nursery". There is lots of information on this Forum about how to prepare egg boxes and temperature, etc. Be sure this is in place--you don't want stressed, eggbound females. If you need help when you get to that point, we're all here to help--but seriously, if you read the past posts, you'll find a wealth of knowledge!! Thanks for posting those pictures, and don't ever hesitate to ask questions.
