Mrs. Mucket :
Bucky-- I missed your post till now but that is a good idea. I'm just learning about selective breeding. I was thinking of trying a smaller rooster too, not for size genes but for comfort of the hens. Both my FR roos have been 15# and a FR/RIR roo was 13#.
I have not gotten responses from Nolls'--is phone the only way to reach them? Do you have any info on the Alabama hatchery?
Johnsons-r-us, do you think a WR would be a good roo to try?
The guy that I got my FR from did tell me not to pick the biggest rooster, because of how hard they can be on your hens.. I can't wait to breed these little guys.. I absolutely love their personalities, so fearless..
