Okay guys, so "Dude" is settling in well with his new hen. Going to keep collecting eggs for the fridge from them for another week or so, just until I'm "sure" the RIR x Claret rooster that was covering her no longer has any mini-me's in her system. Put the two of them on the breeder diet and I...
I know what you mean, Pop! I do NOT like mixing my bloodlines, NOR do I like a mean rooster. I know, in a sense, it can be nature... But I will not keep nor breed a rooster that continuously attacks me. Roosters like Dude are the perfect example. He was easy to train, and is easy to handle. As...
New to orientals, haha. Going to dig deeper and try to get you guys some pics NOT off of my cell phone of this lady. The only reason I thought cornish was due to the size, literally the only reason. I will dig out my camera and wait for a good weather day and post back. She is just... BIG...
Meet Dude's new girl. She has a wing band, but she just showed up one day at a friends house in Houston. I've had her since about January, and in this time she has gone from 4 lbs to 8. I'm thinking she's possibly a cornish cross, but I will just be using this pair for meat birds. She's penciled...

I'm not really sure why but I'm leaning...
I just started getting into Orientals. I would like a good starter bird, something to move off of. So far, I am still absolutely in love no matter what he is. For a game type, he is very easy to handle and trained quickly on learning to get on the fly roosts for daily inspections.
I've bred...
This may be why he was a give-away. I'm still fond/proud of him. The possible mixes are a long list knowing the birds that this man has... Any ideas? I was SO hoping for a pure roo, but I have a half hen I can throw in with him for now...
Asil breeders, what do you think of my (prized) rooster, 'Dude'? He's a real sweetheart. I've had him for a few weeks now, he should be nearing a year soon. Came from a really nice breeder down in Houston who gave him to my uncle to give to me.
'Dude' - as he has been dubbed - in the fly pen...
