He's becoming quite the looker. ♥️

Well thank you very much. Like I said he's got his faults but he's a great dude.... So I'm gonna work with him. Here's the 8 that are almost 5 weeks, 2 confirmed boys from Kong x Joannie my darkest layer and second pic is the biggest boy. I think he's gonna be a tank like his dad.

Thank you for chiming in... Always appreciated. 👍

@BlueTheBrahma @Bantambird could you give your thoughts on this young lad here?

Heres my Kong, if I haven't posted pics of him here. I've been told by some of the best breeders here on byc that he has very good coloring. His faults are he has a huge comb, he's a little over colored in the chest and he's a little narrow from chest to tail (type...he should be wide all the...

Sorry I don't see it. What I do see in several pics is that his back/body is a tad darker like a mahogany color compared to his hackles. This could be OPs camera, the lighting/shadows or it is his true color right now. What I can say is it's all way too early to worry about, he's too young and...

In my opinion I think his copper looks gorgeous... ♥️

First crows are awesome...🙂 I've got 2 confirmed of the 8 that are 4 weeks old. 1 of which is starting to look identical to his dad Kong. I'm impatiently waiting for them first awkward crows... 🤣

Wow, he is. Handsome boy you got...♥️

Update...update..update...😃

Nice looking copper coming in. Is he showing any color in his chest?

I was misinformed, I apologize and thank you for the correction.

Those tips were what I use in the teenage hormonal years, I also separate my boys when they start harassing the girls. Cockerels mature faster than pullets. He wants to mate and she can't figure out why he went all haywire all of a sudden. I work this up 2 ways and I do this til the last pullet...

Holy moly, I would follow moms lead. Have you read this article? By far one of my favorites about roosters. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/understanding-your-rooster.75056/#ams-comment-517722

In my opinion, that's good. I want my boys to avoid me at this age. He's learning his boundaries and I mostly ignore them and walk thru them making them move. I still interact with them, call him by name, tell him he's a good boy, talk to him with respect but a stern 'no' when he does something...

The hackles are his pointed copper neck feathers. Lots of people call the hens copper neck feathers hackles also, but technically it's referred to as the 'cape' on a hen. 'Hackles' on a rooster.

Sounds like he's got a good temperament. And yes, they are starting and then they'll droop over the side.
