The reason I did the hack is it supposed to reduce the amount of noise they make and make them more aware of there feathers and this morning I could really see that all starting to happen. He barely mantles and its just for a second he preens and cleans him self no stop and the only sound he makes is a whistle when hes out side. Tho I know he hasn't dropped any weight I think it will continue like this as long as I drop his weight slow enough. I will take more pictures tonight after work of where I am hacking him. I also think he has peaked as far as weight 3 days in a row he was 323g when let out at 6:30am. Another observation is this morning he spent more time then he ever has before eating in the AM hes very calm on the lure I was able to put his transmitter on his backpack and sit with 4 dogs around him this morning while he was eating.
