Look up Maryland Poultry Swap in Sharpsburg on Facebook. It happens in April and there are a variety of breeders. It is fun to go just to look and learn even if you aren't ready to buy yet.

Welcome. They are very entertaining and make you breakfast!

Some people make a separate "bachelor pad" and keep their boys together there separately from the hens. Without hens they won't fight. Maybe that option would work for you?

I read that the eggs of the hens from this cross will be the color of Spanish olives but can't find any information about...

Sorry to hear that. How frustrating! I am guessing the problem goes way beyond posting no tresspassing signs and politely informing the parents that it is private property and that fencing is too expensive. We had a similar issue with a hunter here. I hate to be that bad cranky neighbor but...
