Update: We have 4 roosters now working 4 flocks. My son raised a cream leg bar too and he is BIG and friendly! We are culling one beautiful olive egger jerk and growing out a wheaten marans rooster since our hen turned out so perfect. We ended up with a broody hen who hatched her own babies and...

My neighbor keeps his chickens/dogs and mine separate with a couple electric fence strands and it works perfectly with no casualties. My cats even respect it. I have to say - Thanks for the bird recommendation. I am very pleased with these Cream Legbars I'm raising! They are amazing so far...

Aww! Too far away from N Ga! But thanks!

The cockerel chick that hates being handled is a Silver Laced Wyandotte. I think the RIR you are referring to is the bully hen who loves my son. Who knows - maybe the SLW will turn out great. In a perfect world I'd keep my boys in a separate bachelor pad and rotate them out with the hens of my...

https://rosehillfarm.ca/2020/07/10/darkest-eggs-in-blue-birchen-marans/ I read this article some time back and it sparked my interest. Knowing no one in poultry, I ordered a birchen male from Meyer hatchery. But it can be black, blue or splash and they have no good pictures of the grown roos...

For some reason - my son is obsessed with having a huge rooster. (shaking my head)

Super interesting thoughts! His RI Red HATES the other pullets in our second flock. She is NOT cool with smaller/younger chickens and will not tolerate them. She is also the sole survivor of attacks that have taken 2 of her 3 brood mates. But she tolerated the last cockerel we had fine and mated...

Specifically - our marans are Wheaten, Golden Cuckoo and Splash. All heavily feathered on legs. My olive egger has lightly feathered legs as she is Black Copper Marans x Ameraucana. She has muffs and beard too. Blue with copper on her neck. A real gem. :)

Totally have been thinking about a Marans Roo. You read my mind. I have a Birchen male on order but it seems nuts with all the free pretty cockerels needing homes. The olive egger Roo I had - he was part Marans and part Whiting True Blue. But the wry tail and proof of genetics problems in his...

Great advice here. Thank you all. It's *almost* my first experience with a Roo but not quite. I tried to adopt one cockerel who was raised in a rooster flock and his temperament was not aggressive but his tail was so wry we decided not to breed him for the school project. He was half Whiting...

Hello there. I have a mixed flock with a few production hens (Black Sex Link, RI Red, Easter Eggers, Olive Egger) in their prime of laying who are squatting and willing to breed. I also have over a dozen 4-5 month old heritage breed hens who are *almost* laying... They are different colors of...
