Hello everyone.
My name is Stéphan and I live in Aveyron, a beautiful, rural and remoted area in the South-West of France.
In 15 days' time, we're getting ready to welcome our first fowls. They'll be living "the life of Riley" in the grounds of a 15th-century manor.
To start with, we've chosen :
- 1 golden laced Orpington
- 1 silver laced Orpington
- 1 Marans
- 1 Blue Laced Gold Wyandotte
But I'm not sure about the rooster.
Knowing that I won't be doing any shows or competitions, that I'm okay with cross-breeding and that I'm looking above all to have beautiful, good laying hens, what breed of rooster and what color do you recommend?
Many thanks in advance for your answers and help.
Have a nice day,
S
