So.. my little roo (d'Anvers) made an attempt to, um.. fertilize the eggs of my Barred Rock hen.
Poor little guy. All I can say is if the cloaca was located smack dab in the the middle of her left wing, it would've been a homer. As it was.. it was a disappointing fowl (LOL! Or should I have said, "a disappointED fowl??).
I think he wasn't too impressed, either, since he wandered around for the next 15 minutes trying to figure out who would work out better for him!
So.. that answers my question of whether or not I'd get some d'Anvers crosses from my flock!! LOL! Well, at least I have a d'Anvers pullet in there, as well as a silkie cross, so there will be a couple of ladies more his size.
I wonder if Lucky, the bantam cochin, will work out better with my BIG GIRLS when he gets old enough?
